SHIPPING WESTERN AND QUARTER HORSE TRANSPORT - TIPS
Five details to settle before requesting quotes
01
Name the people on each end.
Drivers can quote sharper when they know who to call at the barn, the gate situation, and when the horse needs to be loaded or off.
02
Get paperwork in early.
Coggins and health certs in the booking saves a round of phone tag and lets the driver confirm the horse is good to roll.
03
Match the rig to the horse, not the price tag.
Box stall vs. straight, cameras, layover plans, and how your horse loads can all change which driver is the right call.
04
Decide direct vs. shared route.
A direct trip is faster and pricier; a shared run is cheaper but adds stops. Worth thinking about before you accept.
05
Close the loop at drop-off.
When your horse is off the trailer, mark the trip done so the paperwork and notes stay tied to the booking.
