Question: Hello, we are coming through KY on Tuesday April 29th. We would love to help you out with this guy but first wanted to make sure you still needed him hauled and to let you know how we would haul him. We haul a 3 horse slant gooseneck, 6'10" high with a 3' opening. You said he is an easy loader, so I don't forsee any problems, just wanted to double check. He would have the rear two stalls to himself. We would have to unload him to drop off the other horse just south of Nashville, then we would head down to drop him off in GA. We have a 16.3 hand mustang that looks like a draft mix that fits well, he's probably 1300#'s. So, between your horses height and weight, he should be alright in the rear two stalls. As long as he'll back out, we shouldn't have any problems. Let me know what you think. $350. (4/24/2008)

Response: I have another bid in for $350 as well - can you drop to $340? If so, lets do it. We were told by the owner that he should have no problem backing. (4/25/2008)

Response: Hello, we'll keep an eye on this. As of right now, we want to stick to $350, but if it doesn't go down for you, we'll take a look at it again in the next couple of days. If all his paper work is together, it shouldn't be to complicated. You do have our trailer dimensions, and we've established that he will back out, but I do agree that he probably would be happier in a stock trailer. It is your call, so if you think he'll be fine, we'll be in touch. (4/25/2008)

Question: (4/24/2008)

Question: Hi, i have to go to Atlanta, and can bring Buddy to you for 350.00 if you don't mind a stock trailer, Most horses prefer the open air as to enclosed. But that is my opinion, And the distance is relatively short. (4/24/2008)

Response: Sounds good! Will a 17+ hand Belgian fit in your trailer? When are you leaving? Thanks, ~Jennifer (4/25/2008)

Response: Hi, Jenifer if your papers are in order i can transport buddy at your earliest convenience. I own several thoroughbreds, And have transported some large horses in my trailer. Buddy will do just fine im sure. when i go to pick up Buddy if there is any concern at all we do not have to do the transport. Thank you, PS Buddy will be the only Passenger going south. Steve and Mary (4/25/2008)

Response: Steve & Mary- I have another bid in at $350 - could you do $340? I am ready to book today if so - just waiting to see who is the cheapest. (4/25/2008)

Question: Hi, I just wanted to let you know that we will not be able to haul Buddy for you. The horse we are hauling needs the middle stall, so I'm sorry it won't work. Best wishes on getting him hauled, we will withdraw interest. Thanks! (4/28/2008)
