TTJHauling (29)

I have 27 plus years experience with horses, cows and other farm animals. I don’t claim to know everything there is to know, but do have a lot of experience handling animals. I feel the key is patience and persistence along with the care needed to assure a safe and enjoyable trip for the animals. Communication with the owner is also an important factor to assure the owner that everything is on schedule and that their horse is safe. If I’m responsible for loading, we do it my way. I will load it without the use of whips, and I won’t run it onto the trailer. The calmer way is always better for me and the horse. When your horse is in my care, it will be checked on every two hours and rested on the fourth hour (short trips are half way through). Breaks are done in a quiet area, not truck stops or rest areas. You horse will have hay and water at all times. The owner should furnish the hay so that it gets what its use to eating.
