Response: These mares are smaller than the usual. I included a picture of the full Perch Mare. The baby is her daughter at 3 days she is 4 now. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. (4/15/2008)
Response: I SEE YOU HAVE UPDATED YOUR AD AND STILL NEED TRANSPORT. I MAY BE GOING THIS WAY ON SUNDAY JUNE 1st. I CAN BEAT THE OFFER YOU HAVE NOW. CHECK MY PROFILE FOR THE SATISFIED CUSTOMER LIST. I AM A HORSEMAN MYSELF AND AM HONEST AS THE DAY IS LONG. LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS AND I'LL WORK UP A BID. THANKS--GTHAULING (5/15/2008)
Response: I am still interested in taking the lowest bid. I want safe transport for my mares. Thanks (5/15/2008)
Response: I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I ALWAYS HANDLE OTHER PEOPLES HORSES IN THE BEST CARE I CAN. WE HAUL A NEW TRAILER WITH TORTION AXLES, RUBBER MATS, WITH PLENTY OF FRESH BEDDING. THEY WILL HAVE HIGH QUALITY HAY OFFERED AND WATER AT EVERY STOP. WILL THE DATES I PROVIDED WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE? THANKS--GTHAULING (5/15/2008)
Response: yes, june 1, will work, but I will have to get with the previous owner to be sure that she will be home. You stated that you could beat the other guy's bid. Reb (5/15/2008)
Response: SURE. LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY SAY IN IA AND I'LL WORK UP A BID. THANKS--GTHAULING (5/15/2008)
Response: I think my last email went to the wrong bidder. You were going to give me a bid to outbid the $565 that I got from another hauler. Thanks Reb (5/15/2008)
Response: I CAN. BUT I NEED TO GET ONE OTHER PERSON TO COMMIT BEFORE I CAN BID ON YOURS. ARE WE READY TO GO WHEN I DO GET YOU A BID? THANKS--GTHAULING (5/15/2008)
Response: Again, I will commit to the lowest bid. I was going to commit to the other bidder today, until you told me that you could outbid him. Now I am waiting on you. I put this ad online April 8th.I can haul them myself, but it would take my weekend. My sig-other is a truck driver and he insists on going with me. That would mean that he would be driving 14 days straight. I have already mapped out the route and figured what it will cost me to haul them myself. I have been waiting on the lowest bid. His was the lowest yet and I felt fairly reasonable. If you could not beat his bid, why did you say so? (5/15/2008)
Response: I CAN BEAT HIS BID (THAT HAS NOW EXPIRED) AS LONG AS I GET ANOTHER TRIP INTO YOUR PICK UP AREA. THEY ARE TO LET ME KNOW TOMORROW MORNING. CAN YOU WAIT TILL THEN? (5/15/2008)
Response: my offer from Lucious expires at midnight tonight. That is why I was contacting him today. Reb (5/15/2008)
Response: IF YOUR STILL ON HERE TOMORROW, I'LL TOUCH BASE WITH YOU THEN AND SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK OUT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSEDERATION--GTHAULING (5/15/2008)
Response: I have contacted him, so if you cannot beat his bid, I am sure he will accept the job. Reb (5/15/2008)
Response: SOUNDS GOOD!! I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM THE OTHER FOLKS. THANKS AGAIN (5/15/2008)
Response: I wanted to let you know also that if I accept Lucious bid, I will get a $25.00 rebate too. Reb (5/15/2008)
Response: THATS PRETTY GOOD. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? (5/15/2008)
Response: I have been waiting for you to give me a price. You said you would let me know yesterday morning. Thanks Reb (5/17/2008)
Response: SORRY TO HOLD YOU UP. I WAS ON THE ROAD. MY OTHER DEAL FELL THROUGH, SO I CANT HELP YOU AT THIS TIME. SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING. GTHAULING (5/19/2008)
Question: Can your 2 horses ride in the same stall? (5/17/2008)
Response: No, they are mother and daughter, but as I stated in the ad, one is full percheron and the other is half percheron. The daughter is much smaller, but is 4 years old. The picture is the only one I have of them, which is why the text explains their size and weight. Thanks Reb (5/17/2008)
Response: Hi we can still ship them but we would have to go up on the price a little! (5/17/2008)
Response: Your bid was for $565. why do you have to go up in price. I have been waiting to send a check to you for hauling. Are you ready? (5/20/2008)
Response: We have to go up because they will not fit in the same stall so we would not have a full load. (5/20/2008)
Response: Do you think that we could have a full conversation here? I do not understand how you could bid 564.93, and then tell me that you have to charge more. Did you only look at the picture? The text clearly states 2 percheron mares ages 4 yrs and 8yrs. it also states their height and weight. You are now renigging? I have already told the other bidder that I was going with you. I need the mares picked up on May 31, Can you do this? (5/20/2008)
Response: When the person that bid on the shipment was bidding they thought it was the ones in the picture!We can do it no problem we just have to find another horse that is going by itself now that yours need two stalls!I have been shipping horses for over 20yrs. and no one will ship 2 Percherons for 5 or 6 hundered dollars!I am trying to get the shipment together to make it work!Thanks Lucious (5/20/2008)
Response: Well, whoever made the bid should stick to it. Just looking at pictures is what 5 yr olds do. (5/20/2008)
Response: Normally people put the real picture on the website so the hauler knows what they are dealing with!I never said i wouldn't honor their bid but i have to work the details out with the other shippers! (5/20/2008)

Question: Hello: We live in west central Illinois, and are working on a trip to Colorado. Our time frame is open, We have room for four (4) horses the rate will depend on how many are ready at the best time for you. As you know fuel is to expensive to go running around half cocked and we only do limited trips. Please let us know what your ideal time frame is and we will work out a schedule to fit as many as we can on a cost share transport. Carl & Melanie Geertz (5/29/2008)
Response: any time until the 10th. Then I will go myself. I appreciate a cost share. Everyone else that has contacted me were FLAKES! I have figured it out and I can go myself for about 425. Thanks and please let me know. (5/29/2008)
Response: That figure sounds about right round trip. We have two others that are intrested in this same time frame. If we can work this out maybe we can save you the trip and a little money. Carl (5/29/2008)
Response: KOOL! Has anyone said, "I Love You" to you today? (5/29/2008)
Response: I have one on line from IL.-CO. and the second week of June will work for her, that would be the 9th-13th. You would be picked up on the way out, if that would be good? Probably pick up the evening of the 9th and delivered the next morning, but don't hold me to that just yet it could be pick up the morning of the 10th. I haven't done any thing yet so please hold your emotions till the job is done. Thank You Carl (5/29/2008)
Response: okey dok. My husband is a truck driver. He does not want me to go without him. that would mean that he would be driving for at least 2 weeks straight. Anyway, I hate driving. I can and I have, but I dread it. I do not like going anywhere, especially with the price of fuel. I do all shopping etc. in one trip. We have an f350 diesel that gets about 16 mph loaded. I have had some decent bids, but the shippers turned out to be irresponsible. NO FEED for these gals during the trip please, hay only. (5/29/2008)
Response: We do not recommend grain prior to a trip but keep hay to them at all times, we stop every 2-3 hours for rest and water. Please stay in touch and we will let you know how it is going on our end. Please also check out our profile. Carl (5/29/2008)
Response: I just got another bid of 454. Thanks (6/1/2008)
Response: Yes - it does look like I'm going to be able to make this trip. I'm going to be busy today - but plan on getting the costs and timeframe all together for everyone tonite or some time on Monday. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks! Carl (6/1/2008)
Response: I will hanks (6/1/2008)
Response: Hello: I have my trip laid out, if everyone stays on board. We can move your horses the second week of June 9th-13th for $400.00 total price for both horses. Please let us know and we will place a bid for you latter today. Thank You. (6/2/2008)
Response: That's great, you're hired. I think you have to go in and place a bid that I can accept on uship for me to be able to give you additional information. I think that I may also be eligble for a rebate or something once I accept, Thanks so much (6/2/2008)
Question: Do you still need these horses transported? (6/1/2008)
Response: I have been in touch with another shipper. He will let me know tomorrow and then I will let you know. Thanks (6/1/2008)
Question: Do you still need these horses transported?we could do it on the 7th of June (6/1/2008)
