Question: Thanks for the bid request. I see it is only 1 horse, is that correct? What is your timeframe? Thanks, Guy (2/11/2009)
Response: Hi Guy,
You previously bid on 2 horses for me but I kind of have an emergency with one and need to ship him ASAP. He is a very large older Warmblood (18 years old) and I need to get him here within the next 2-3 weeks if possible.
What can you offer?
Thanks

Response: Let me see what I can put together. I have a couple needing to go west any time this month, let me see if I can find something more coming back east. I will be in contact asap. (2/11/2009)
Response: Much appreciated... I look forward to getting your bid.
Bernadette
PS: this horse needs to be able to see another horse in the trailer, can and will he have contact to others? (2/11/2009)
Response: Yes, he will be with others. There are stall dividers but I am certain he will be fine. I also unload each night at stables. (2/11/2009)
Response: Under normal circumstances, how long of a trip is it? I look forward to getting your bid.
Thanks (2/11/2009)
Response: It normally takes three nights at stables, deliver the fourth day, depending upon weather, route, etc.... (2/12/2009)

Response: I'll take the offer of $1550 for a box stall. How does it work with this website? Do you still have to submit an official bid to me? I now have the exact address for him and he is in Sylmar CA. When can you pick up?
I look forward to working with you.
I know you'll take good care of my baby.

Response: HI BERNADETTE. ITS FRED. I WILL PLACE A BID FOR YOU. IT WILL BE UNDER PONY HAULER. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE BID ,AND PAY THE USHIP DEPOSIT.THEN U WILL RECIEVE ALL THE CONTACT INFO. JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK A FEW THINGS, 1) DOES HE HAVE A CURRENT COGGINS ,AND HEALTH CERT.? 2)WE WILL NOT BE PICKING HIM UP UNTIL THE 23RD. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OUR DUCKS IN A ROW BEFORE WE SHOOT. IT IS A POSSIBILITY ,THAT IF THINGS CHANGE,I CAN GRAB HIM EARLIER THAN THAT,BUT I WILL LET YOU KNOW ON THAT.WE CAN WORK OUT THE DETAILS FROM THERE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2ND. HORSE YOU HAD LISTED? LET ME KNOW. FRED (2/13/2009)
Response: Hi Fred,
thanks for getting back to me. Farallon had his coggins pulled yesterday and the vet will issue the health cert as soon as you and I have an agreement. I'll have him ready to go on Monday/Tuesday so the earlier you can pick him up the better. As for the second horse, he will still go but not until June/July and if all goes as planned I'll give you that business to.
Just so you know a little about Farallon, he is an older Grand Prix dressage horse that was sold to a lady who has neglected him in the past 2 years. He had little to no human contact and was just standing in a stall. My former trainer in CA just bought him back for me and he is coming to GA to become a normal horse again.
My former trainer will move to GA this summer and the second horse is her own horse Satchmo. Initially we thought both would ship together but I have to get Farallon here ASAP since he needs the attention as quickly as possible.
Thanks for all your help.
I'll be looking for the bid.
