A scheduling conflict arose that could not be resolved I rescheduled the pickup day because the person said he could do it on friday, today he decided to do it on saturday after everyone changed there plans to do it on friday. Everyone can't keep changing plans at the last minute. I found someone that can move my horse on the scheduled time. I will buy a trailer before using this service again.
Response from ESS:
I strongly object to your comments - I only had the safety of your colt in mind! With major roads flooded, I could not guarantee pick-up at 12-2:00PM, and loading after 4:00PM (seller's schedule) would have made the foal arrive at his new home and been put out on an unfamiliar pasture with electric fencing he was not used to in the dark. For the colt's safety, I proposed switching to Saturday, called seller, she AGREED - could not reach you, left message - you cancelled!

Michael was wonderful with my two show horses. He took his time feed & watered them. They were sad to see him go and I will call on his service again. He set-up the horses at the show into there stalls with food & water and waited until the trainer arrived almost two hours late. He never left them alone. Thank you Michael.

I highly recommend this shipper! They were quick to answer questions and quite friendly. Michael called at the agreed upon times and was quite concerned about the keeping the horse comfortable as well as relieving any fears by the seller and buyer (both quite attached to her). He was very kind when handling Deca and she wasn't the least distraught about the trip. He also took time after the the long trip to share some of his horse knowledge! I know who to contact for future shipping needs!

We highly recommend ESS! Michael was very knowledgeable about horses and exceptionally patient. Our horse, which had recently refused to enter trailers, loaded calmly and quietly, and she was transported safely to her destination. Michael set a wonderful example of horsemanship, and we learned a lot from watching and talking to him. Overall, an EXCELLENT shipper!!

It was unbelievable how smooth the whole process was. It only took hours from the time we were contacted to the time when our horse was delivered (all the way from VA to NJ) without a scratch. Michael was very professional, he kept in contact with us and the service was great. Definitively we recomend him.

Michael was really patient with my mare, both loading and unloading her - I enjoyed meeting him although the ride was late due to circumstances out of his control he did notify me and we were able to complete the job.

Equine Shuttle Service (ESS) Was the best! Michael was excellent at making arrangements with my trainer to pick up my mare and kept me informed. My mare arrived totally calm and comfortable. Very Very happy with Michael and will look to deal with him again!
