Palomo
How Palomo works
Vetted horse transport, booked online — in about a minute.
Palomo is the trusted marketplace for owners, trainers, and breeders moving horses across the country. Tell us the route. Compare bids from drivers we've vetted. Track every mile from pickup to drop-off — with every document in one place.
Three steps
The whole trip lives on one page.
2
Compare verified quotes.
Compare transporter quotes, company verification status, vehicle details and available reviews side by side. Confirm insurance and operating requirements before booking.
3
Track every mile.
Live driver location, stop-by-stop updates, in-app messaging, and every document in one place. From pickup window to drop-off photo, you always know where your horse is.
What you get with every trip
Six things that come standard.
Every Palomo booking includes the things owners used to chase down separately — vetting, paperwork, tracking, and a person to call if something goes sideways.
Vetted before they appear.
Compare company verification status, uploaded documents, vehicle information and available reviews. Ask the transporter about anything your horse or route needs.
Live tracking, real updates.
Watch the rig move in real time. Get notified at pickup, every rest stop, and arrival. Driver photos at each milestone. No more guessing where your horse is.
Talk directly to the driver.
In-app messaging keeps owner, driver, and barn manager on the same trip page. No texts on the wrong number, no callbacks you miss.
Documents stay with the trip.
Coggins, health certificate, insurance, delivery photos — everything attached to the booking. Pull them up months later or hand off to the next barn in one tap.
Quote in the open.
Drivers price their own work. You see the breakdown — mileage, layovers, hay, fuel surcharge — before you accept. No broker markup, no surprises.
Backed by Palomo.
If a driver no-shows, we re-source the trip and cover the difference. Most transporters never need that — but it's there.
Who Palomo is for
Owners, trainers, and breeders who care how the horse arrives.
Palomo was built for the people who've been doing this the hard way — keeping a list of drivers on a notepad, calling four numbers to find someone with a free week, hoping the Coggins is still on the dashboard at pickup. The marketplace gathers verified transporters who already run your corridor and gives you one place to compare them, book one, and follow the trip until your horse is home.
Show jumpers and dressage riders moving on and off the circuit
Trainers running multi-stop barn moves across the season
Owners shipping a single horse to a new boarding barn
Breeders coordinating mare and foal transport with foal-coverage protocols
Owners moving retired horses to long-term care facilities
Vets and clinics coordinating medical transport between hospitals
