We move several weanlings across the country every fall as they sell private treaty off of our ranch. We have trusted our babies to travel from coast to coast with Montana Express Horse Transport for 3 years now.

Montana horse express has hauled for me and done a fantastic job. The trip took a day longer than was expected because of unforseen issues with another horse, but I was kept in the loop and the weanling shipped to me arrived in great shape and a great attitude. Great people and very reasonable

I've used Cox Equine transport 2 different times. I highly recommend him. He's very business like and will deliver when he says he will. He's out of Gainesville, TX.

Great Thread!
Horse N Around doesn't come back here - one driver was good but the other didn't know how to tie a horse even. But he made up for it by being too arrogant to learn! But my real objection was that I thought their rig was under-powered and too worn out. Sorry, but I like to see pretty new equipment - I have my own bald tires and worn out truck and trailer - don't need to hire one. Must admit though, this was in 2002. Yes, I can hold a grudge!
My favorite is Hubbard Transport. Great equipment - semis with box and tie stalls. Great drivers that are good with horses - even babies that are newly weaned and off the range only a few weeks. They are expensive, but I usually try them first to see because I'd hate to not use them if they are affordable. Two babies in a box stall, for example, can be affordable. . . or if they just need to fill a spot.
Wish I could remember the name of the weird couple with the tiny trailer that hauled one for a customer of ours to VT. They had taken on a VERY pregnant mare and stopped in Kansas to foal her and eventually wandered up to VT. Not horseman either. Horse was okay . . . but he'd seen a lot of the US.

Premier Horse Transport of California transported my horse from N.CA to Denver, CO. I will definitely use them again whenever I have a need and would recommend them to anyone looking to transport a horse. The whole process with them was like flawless. Everything is done on line and their timing is right on schedule and they do what they promise. Complete professional. Call them! They do Nationwide Transport.

American Horse Transportation. Recomended to me by a friend who has shipped horses all over that are worth 20x what mine are. They were wonderful. Oklahoma to Oregon, on time, wonderful guys, great office staff and my mare showed up looking like it was a 1 hr trip. The rig is immaculate.

I had a boarding stable and witnessed quite a bit of "arrivals". Some arrivals looked wonderful and others........
All-State Horse Express was GREAT. They delivered 2 on two different occasions. Horses arrived safe, sound, fed/watered, etc. You could tell the driver(s) were horsemen.
Rorick's Horse Hauling is not recommended. Showed up days late and did not call the owner, and did not return her frantic phone calls where she attempted to locate him and her expensive horse he had possession of.

I recently used Flight Deck Farm. Dave was easy to get in touch with, easy to talk to and his horse trailer was clean when he unloaded the mare he hauled for me. He was really reasonable and I'd use him again.

Oops-should have looked at the sticky before posting.
I used D & D Transportation out of California. They shipped Grasshopper (kmcsunshine's gelding) to me-Texas to California-and I thought they did a good job. Horse came in the same shape he left, and I talked to them throughout.

I have used Rockin J in the past and was very happy about the service, communication and pricing.
Recently bought a horse from Whiskey Girl and had Black Hills Equine out of SD haul for us. Was a giant nightmare that involved our 2 year old filly being on a trailer for almost 7 days, seeing alot more of the US than planned and being days late delivering to our friend in Michigan. Communication started out great and then went south. Lots of blaming of the situation between the two partners. We were to get a partial refund due to the circumstances, but one partner ended up in the hospital in September or so and I can now not get an email to her about it. Have never been re-imbursed.

just wanted to ad that I recommended them to my friend because of your recommendation and they were wonderful.. Hauled a colt from around fort worth to Turlock, ca and my friend was extremely pleased. Kept contact, called when they picked colt up and told her he a some hair off him nothing major but just wanted to make sure she knew. My friend was so impressed with them. We give them a 5 star rating!!!!!!!!
thanks for the recommendation it was the deciding factor in which shipper to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
