Questions for this shipment:

Question: What is your time frame on these? I'm working on a load for the last week of March. If that time frame works let me know and I'll submit a bid....Thanks...Jared (3/12/2008)

Response: End of march would be perfect (3/13/2008)

Response: We can take these on 3-19 or 3-20 if that time frame works. If so let me know.....Thanks...Jared (3/15/2008)

Question: We are looking to be in the area around the 20th, give or take a day. We would, of course, let you know WHICH day when we get closer. We could do all three of your girls for $495, and pick up and deliver on the same day. Check out our feedback, we would love to earn your business!! IF that will work, let us know, and we will place a bid. Kindly advise. Brighteyes (3/13/2008)

Response: Are you talking the 20th of March or April? I have not had the coggins back yet. If you are talking April then yes definitely interested. (3/13/2008)

Response: March. It might be like the 23rd. Have you had coggins pulled, and just awaiting results?? They SHOULD be back in that time frame. Let me know what you think. Brighteyes (3/14/2008)

Response: Yes just waiting results. It was done this week. (3/14/2008)

Response: Any chance you could call you vet and ask for a faxed copy?? IA is pretty good about quickness....we would LOVE to have you business, and leaving tomorrow, so need to know so we can plan our trip!! Thanks. Brighteyes (3/16/2008)

Question: Hi There, I would be able to transport for you mid- to late April. Can you please tell me how many OVERSIZED 11'L x 7'W x 6' 8"H BOX stalls you would require? I will place a bid based upon your reply and my availability. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration and good luck with your transport!! Sincerely, Sally @ Mustangs Horses & Transport (3/13/2008)

Response: Just three regular stalls. (3/14/2008)

Response: Hi There, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I only offer full BOX stall service. I can either provide you prices for 3 FULL PRIVATE BOX stalls, or if you'd only need 1 or 2 I can price that way as well. My box stalls are oversized 11'L x 7'W and will EASILY accommodate 1-2 LARGE DRAFTS per stall. Depending upon how well your horses get along, they should have more than enough room for riding comfort for this trip. Thanks again for your time and consideration and I look forward to your reply!! Sincerely, Sally @ Mustangs Horses & Transport (3/14/2008)

Response: One stall would work then. The three of them are together all the time. (3/14/2008)

Question: Good Day: Starting in April through May we will be doing local transports in the Mid-West staying within 500 miles of our home in West Central Illinois. Our rate depends on your flexibility of scheduling and how many horses we have for that trip. We calculate per loaded mile divided by the number of horses on the trailer (please see our profile for details). Our goal is to give you the best price and care, with same-day or next-day delivery. Thank You Carl and Melanie Geertz (3/14/2008)

Response: 3 mares - Walcott IA to Salem IL. (3/14/2008)

Question: Have you heard anything more on your coggins? Our trip was pushed back till Thursday, so we would be your way on Friday. You should be able to get a faxed copy by now, and if you are ready, we would love to have your business!! Thanks. Brighteyes (3/19/2008)

Response: Yes all neg - what was your bid again? (3/19/2008)

Response: I had bid $495, but my bid has expired. I will rebid, and meet the other's bids, and put in my bid for $450. I would like to have your business. Thanks so much for your response....communication means alot!! Brighteyes (3/19/2008)

Question: Hi, I am out of the Des Moines, Iowa area. I am available in your time frame and I would provide direct transport. No planning a route. Just me to pick up and pick up to you. I am a legal DOT compliant transporter, & I am insured. I offer quality service, good communication with all parties involved. Horses are checked along the way every 170 miles. Transporting horses is my business. I own horses & have been around horses all my life. My bid would be right at $542.00. Please check my feedback under TLC Horse Transport Inc. THANKS (3/19/2008)

Question: Hello, we will be in Cresco, IA, on the morning of April 15th. We could pick-up the mares early afternoon, on the 15th, and have them in Salem, the evening of April 15th. Will this time frame work within your schedule? (3/20/2008)

Response: Yes it would. Please place a bid. Also - would you have any room for hay? I have about 30 small square bales, but if you could take any of them with the mares it would be great. (3/20/2008)

Response: Yes, We should be able to transport your hay, along with the three mares... (3/21/2008)

Response: No Problem, should have room, for hay. (3/21/2008)

Question: My driver is up there at this moment on the run for this month. WE could get you on the next load, which would be about 3 weeks. If that will work, let me know and we will rebid as you requested. Thanks. Brighteyes (3/23/2008)

Response: They need to be delivered before APril 14th. Does that work with your schedule? (3/23/2008)

Response: I will talk to my driver and get back with you. Why didn't you accept or contact me a couple of days ago?? He was in IA, and delivered two seperate sets of horses to either side of St. Louis today!! He is not quite home, will be in about two hours. He is planning another trip in the next couple of weeks, so it is very possible. I will let you know. Brighteyes (3/23/2008)

Response: I didn't check my email til the weekend and it would not have done me any good any way. I don't have the health papers yet, and I am waiting on my tax return to have the money to pay to ship them. (3/23/2008)

Question: I can tranport your mares in individual stalls with pick up any day that you say after 4/1 and deliver direct with room for your hay. Let me know what your budget is and I will place a bid. I am looking at a price of $450.00. Happy Easter! (3/23/2008)

Response: $450 is about in line with with most of the bids that I have received. Great news on the hay. Couple more questions - payment - I am splitting the cost of transport with where they are going - do you accept half cash when they leave here and half cash when they arrive at the destination? They have their coggins - I have to get the health papers - wanted a rough date before got those - how much notice do you need? (3/23/2008)
