Extreme Veteran Posts: 599	I'm having a 10 month goal shipped from one corner of the country to another. It will be a 5 day trip in a box stall with stops every night (horses get off at night). Any helpful advice for the trip as well as once she arrives? I've been told to quarantine the foal for 2 weeks when she gets to my home - what other advice can you give? :)

Veteran Posts: 158	last time I did this I had the seller give a cheap $7 tube of probios before they handed him over to the hauler. I don't know how much of a difference it makes if any but its a little peace of mind.
