Shipper suggestions for KY to FL

PaintsQH · 07-20-2008, 06:32 AM

My friend just bought a horse in KY and needs to bring her to FL. I told her I would as the nice KY people if they knew any good shippers. Ive never shipped a horse, so Im not much help to her. Any help on good shippers would be appreciated.

Never used them, but I've heard these people are good: www.worleyshauling.com

Hmmm I used Nationwide for my horses going from Arizona to Kentucky. I was very happy with them. My mare came off of the trailer in great shape. Price was nice too.
There was a gorgeous Andalusian stallion on board. I told the driver I wouldnt mind if he got loose and 'accidently' bred my mare

...but alas no Azteca baby...

Ohh well.

Ive heard alot of people use Hubbard and Im positive they ship from KY to Florida.

Hope this helps

I used a Yahoo groups message board to find a hauler for both a KY>FL and a FL>KY trip.
This is the yahoo group:
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/hitch-hiking_horses/
She can join for free, post her need (dates & horse details, with zip codes for to and from), and she'll get emailed quotes from shippers that can make the trip. She can also look through the posts for shippers already making that trip with open boxes.

Here's the link to the site of the last haulers we used who are located in IN. (I used them to ship 2 horses and 3 goats from FL to KY.)

The prices were incredibly reasonable, the driver was an excellent horseperson, and the whole situation went flawlessly.
divinemisselle was on the receiving end, and can also verify these opinions.
(We got a chuckle about some of the services they offered. A simple transport is all I used, and was never pressured to buy any of the extras.)
