Question: Good Evening, I was wondering when you would like to have your horse shipped? I have a 7X7X24 trailer with 3 box stalls. I could offer 2 stalls for your "little one" (ha,ha). Please check out my profile to see pictures of my truck and trailer and to also read my feedback. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Terry (6/13/2009)
Response: Hello Terry, thank you for such a quick response. I am looking to have Falcon shipped ASAP, I had to sell him six years ago after a severe care accident and have just now been able to find him again and have been blessed his current owner is willing to let him return to me. I'm flexible on transportation dates, although would want to be able to have him arrive on a day I'm not working so I can be there to welcome him home. A few questions: how often do you stop for rest periods? Hay & water? Webcam monitoring of the horses? Direct door to door transport or overnight stop along the way? More than one driver if direct door to door? Would he be tied or able to move about the box stall? Stacy (6/13/2009)
Response: Stacy, Thank you for your quick response. No, I do not have web-cam but I am very conscious of all movement within the trailer. I make stops every 2 hours just to check on the horses with a rest break on the 4th hour (or as instructed by owner). Horses are provided with hay and water the entire trip. Your horse would not be tied and would be in 2 box stalls for added comfort. For safety purposes,
due to the size of your horse, I would prefer to ship at night, which would also be cooler, and allow me drive at a slower pace without a lot of traffic interference. I am the only driver (other than my co-pilot GOD) because I don't trust co-drivers. Your horse will be a direct shipment with no other horses on the trailer. You can see a pictures of my truck and trailer on my profile page along with all of my positive feedbacks. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Terry (6/13/2009)
Response: Sounds like what I am looking for, I'll await your quote. Stacy (6/13/2009)
Response: Stacey, My bid is below. We can discuss the dates if you accept my bid. I'm sure that we can agree. Thank you, Terry. (6/15/2009)
Response: Hi Terry,
I'm ready to accept your bid, I just want to make sure the timing will work out. I've made arrangements to be off work Sat the 27th and Sun the 28th to spend time with my boy when he gets home. The current owner has made a vet appt for this Thurs for vaccinations, coggins, & health certificate. She is going to rush the coggins and "expects" to have it Monday the 22nd, so I need to make sure you can fit his transport in for pick up between the 23rd & 26th, given she has all the paperwork in order. Stacy (6/15/2009)
Response: Stacy, If you are going to be off the 27th and 28th that would put pick up on the 26th in the afternoon to deliver in the morning on the 27th. Yes, I can work with this date. (6/15/2009)
Response: Great, I'll go ahead and accept your bid, talk you soon, and thank you! Stacy (6/15/2009)
Question: Hi! We can do this for $600.00. We have a three horse slant that will open up so he would have the whole trailer. The slant gates will come out and can be put in the front of the trailer. The trailer is 7ft tall. He would be the only horse in there. We would be able to pick him up on the 25th and deliver him on the 26th. Please check our feed back. Are all coggins and health papers are up to date? Thank You ropeadeal (6/13/2009)
Response: A few questions: Direct door to door transport? One or more drivers? Frequency of stops for checks and rest? Hay & water? I am finalizing things with the seller, of which, will include requiring current coggins and health papers for interstate transport. Stacy (6/13/2009)
Response: Yes door to door. Two drivers. Stop every 2hrs for check, hay and water. Stop every 3 to4 hrs for 1/2 hr for rest while not moving. Thank You ropeadeal (6/13/2009)
Response: Thank you for your interest, but I am looking for transport more directly related to strictly equine shipment. Have found another transporter. Stacy (6/14/2009)
