Questions for this shipment: 

Question: How soon can we get this done for you? I will be coming to Wi. and Ill, this weekend and could take him to you. I have an enclosed stall that he would be very comfy in. I am also a farrier and keep a good eye on them durring transport. Wouldnt need to be tied in the stall either and enough room to lay down if he wishes to do so.Thanks and let us know and we will bid.Thanks (4/3/2008)
Response: Hello, I noticed you never placed a bid: I have confirmed that We need Spanky delivered sometime between May 17th and May 30th to guarantee him a stall at his new home at Meredith Manor in Ogden, WV. If you can offer this WONDERFUL boy a safe trip in this time frame, please bid on this shipment. Thanks and have a Great Day! Shay (4/22/2008)
Response: The only way i can gaurantee your dates is if we can book it in retty quickly so i can plan for how many stalls i will need and a return trip. I will provide him with the full divider wall for this trip which has enough room to lay down and turn around.He will have no contact with other horses at all. If you are ready to book this in let me know and we will definately bid for you.Thanks for the request. (4/22/2008)
Response: i guess i just really need to know "how much"? does this site let you tell me how much before you actually bid? does it hurt you to bid and us to say no? sorry, it's the first time i've ever shipped a horse using a third party and the first time i've used this site. we're green! thanks again! shay (4/22/2008)
Response: Ok if i can work this horse into my next trip in a couple weeks or less maybe, i can do it for you for 650.00. If you would like i can bid that if it is in your budget.. We dont bid until we have price and aprox dates worked out. If we are flex. on dates and agree to price then i will bid what i have just told you.Thanks (4/22/2008)
Question: I'm putting together a trip from CO to VA stopping in IL on the way. Your horse would be in half a stock trailer with a jersey cow in the other. I would have to pick up by May 12-13th. Let me know if you're interested before I bid. (4/13/2008)
Response: you say going to VA, the horse needs to go to ogden,WV and I would have to ask the owner about him traveling with a cow. he is a very easy hauler, he is blind, what size stock trailer and how long he would be in the trailer would have a lot to do with it. you are welcome to bid, if she says no, nothings really lost. Thanks! (4/22/2008)
Question: Hello we are headed your way may 18th or 19th. We could ship Spanky direct in a roomy 8x7x7'h box stall, hay & water provided the whole trip. We have lots of experience with special needs horses. We are an authorized shipper for the national ASPCA cares program; many rescue groups and many others. Please check out our feed back, and let us know if you have any questions. I'll put in a bid shortly (4/22/2008)
Response: sounds great, your bid looks great. i have called the owner and expect a call back this evening. we need to work out payment. I'll be putting $300 towards the trip and the owner will be picking up the rest ($420-431) will you accept it in two payments? one from me when you pickup and one from her at time of delivery? this would work out best for us. also, spanky will have one peice of baggage (a small tote) with all his belongings. will there be any problem with that? i expect to be formally accepting your bid tonight or early am tomorrow. thanks! (4/22/2008)
Response: Yes thats perfect! I'll bid right now. Thanks (4/22/2008)
