Question: I'm delivering horses to Iowa next week. I'm headed back to Dallas from there. What is your target price for transporting your horse. If he is on my route back, I'll be able to give you a great price. If your interested, please let me know and I'll place my bid. Thanks, Andiamo SportHorses. (10/24/2009)
Response: Yes, I am interested and would be willing to meet you in St. Louis if you come through that way or Kansas City or around there if it would be less expensive. Of course, I'm wanting the best deal possible, but wouldn't mind meeting you someplace along the line to pick up the horse. Let me know where you go through or e-mail me back with any ideas. THANKS! Pam (10/24/2009)
Response: Pam, please see me response under Andiamo SportHorses further down the page. Sorry, my response to you posted in the wrong place on the page. Thanks again, Jessie at Andiamo SportHorses. (10/24/2009)
Question: $Gas Money$ I am going to be in Earlville, Iowa around November 15th. My next stop after leaving Earlville is Lecompton, Kansas. Both Muscatine, Iowa and Neosho, Kansas are on my way to Lecompton, Kansas. I estimate this trip would take you about 16 hours and around $250.00 in fuel? I can offer you the following services for $300.00: -Private Pine Shavings Lined Box Stall, Free Choice Hay, On Board Water System, and Direct transport? Oh, and a Earlville, Iowa, Ray Tekippe reference. Waiting your response, Ray Crawford w/JDC Farms (10/24/2009)
Question: -The $250.00 fuel estimate was based on round trip- (10/24/2009)
Response: That sounds very reasonable, but can't remember when you said you could deliver, etc. Sorry, I'm new to this! Also, what type of trailer do you use to transport (open stock, closed, etc.) Please let me know your date and type of trailer and I'll talk to ya soon! THANKS! Pam (10/25/2009)
Question: Hi Pam, Thanks for the response. This trip to Iowa for this week is full both directions, however, I will be going back the following week and then again the first week of November. Please tell me which week works best for you and then I can reserve a spot for you. Also, please tell me your target price, I have a bid of 500 placed. Is this what you are looking for? Also, please be sure to click on the name "andiamosporthorses" then you can read my uship references and see a pic of my "luxury trailer" and new Ford F250 diesel truck. If the weather turns cold, no worries as my trailer is insulated and enclosed. The horses get plenty of ventilation, but since it's not a "stock" trailer, they won't get chilled from being exposed to cold air. If you would like to accept my bid,then uship will give us each others information and we can solidify our travel plans. Thanks so much, looking forward to working with you. Jessie at Andiamo SportHorses. (10/24/2009)
Question: Pam, I just was awarded a uship bid for the first week of November. Their trip starts in Missouri, very close to where you need delivery of your. I'm delivering in Iowa, then can pick up yours and take him to Missouri. I think this would work out great as It is exactly on my route. That was a real blessing! Let me know if this works for you. Thanks, Jessie at Andiamo SportHorses. (10/25/2009)
Response: Hi Jessie, that would be absolutely great, but can't remember the price! I've gotten a bunch of bids and am trying to get the best deal I can so let me know what the price would be and sorry! I guess I am going to write these down someplace! Pam (10/25/2009)
Response: Hi Pam, my bid is for 500 and its under andiamosporthorses. Thanks, Jessie (10/25/2009)
Response: SORRY and THANKS! I'm new to this so need all the help I can get. I'm not sure I want to spend that much. If I can't get a cheaper bid, I may end up driving there and back myself. Don't know yet, so don't rule me out yet! Pam (10/25/2009)
Response: Just tell me what you had budgeted for and most likely I can do it. I'm headed in that exact direction anyway, so with the cost of diesel/gas,it would be a lot of time/money spent on your part, when I can do it more than likely for less than it would cost you to drive him yourself,assuming you would be making a round trip and I am going one way thru. Just answer back your price, I'll place a bid for you to accept, then uship will give us each others contact info and we can make the arrangements from there. I'll wait for you online. Thanks, JEssie at Andiamo Sporthorses. (10/25/2009)
Response: Hi there again. Another person said they would do it for $250.00 but I'd have to wait until 11/15. I was hoping to get my horse sooner than that. The other person said it would be $300 if I wanted lined stall, pine shavings, free feed hay, water, etc. but since it will be only 8 hours one way, I don't think I would need anything for him except a hay bag or some hay on the way here. Would you be willing to do it for this amount? (either $250 or $300). Thanks....Pam (10/25/2009)
Response: Pam, yes! I can deliver him to you for 300 the first week of November. I will provide all the hay he can eat, water hanging in the trailer for him w/his hay at all times. My trailer is a real "Cadillac", wait till you see it! Padded walls, rubber floors and I put 3 bags of shavings on top of the rubber matted floor! You will have communication w/me 24/7 via cell and email on my Blackberry. I have Arabians of my own, so I have lots of experience. In fact I have 2 Arab broodmares and 1 Arab stallion (solid black). I'll wait for your reply. Thanks, Jessie Andiamo SportHorses. (10/25/2009)
Response: WOOHOO...We have a deal!!!!!!!!! So I guess I accept your bid now and then we can talk on the phone...is that how it works? Pam (10/25/2009)
Response: Wait just a second and let me rebid for 300, then accept it and then we can talk. Thanks, Jessie (10/25/2009)
