Make sure your horse is taken care of during the shipping process. These beautiful animals need to be cared for properly to keep them happy and healthy during travel. Whether you are buying a horse from another state or shipping your horse to a show, choose your horse carrier carefully.
The majority of horses are shipped by horse trailer. It takes time to prepare your horse for shipping, so begin training your horse to trailer well before it needs to travel.
When choosing a horse carrier, verify their legal authority to ship horses and ask about their standard practices. Since your horse will spend all transit time in your carrier’s trailer, it is important to check your carrier’s horse trailer to make sure it is safe for travel.
