US Shipping Companies
International Shippers
If you need a horse shipped from Iowa to your
home, please check out these shippers. We do not endorse any of these
shippers in particular, but do know of some good experiences that customers of
ours have had.
If you know of a good shipper that isn't
listed, please share your shipper with us!
In searching for the right
shipper for you, we recommend that you ask questions such as these:
 |
For Foals/Weanlings: Will they travel in
a loose stall with a divider to the floor? Tying is NOT recommended for
young horses! |
|
How often do they transport horses (in
case they only do one per month)? |
|
Do they have air conditioned trailers for the
horses if the weather will be hot? |
| Do they travel two people at a time (to help
load/unload and monitor horses)? |
|
Do they have video surveillance of the
inside of the trailer? |
|
What kind/size of stalls do the horses have? |
|
Do they unload horses from the trailer during the journey,
and if so, how often? |
|
Are they fed and watered during the trip, and if so, how
often? |
|
What is the hauler's financial responsibility if there is an
accident and a horse or person is hurt or killed? |
|
Do they offer shipping insurance, and if
not, who can they recommend that you obtain insurance through? |
| Does he pull a tandem trailer rig (two trailers attached
together)? This is NOT desirable. |
The answers to these questions will affect
price, but you can pick the shipper you are most comfortable with if you
evaluate these answers. Also, see if they have a written contract or
guarantee, especially about how often the horses are checked, unloaded, fed,
etc. and if you want assurance of liability on their part for problems.

We have not used all these shippers, so can't offer advice or
warranty to their service quality. This is simply a list of shippers we have
heard of. Shippers we have used fairly recently are noted with an
* by the name. |

Note that from time to time, phone numbers, e-mail address, and
web addresses change. If you can't reach one of these, try a search on the 'net
to see if more current information comes up. |

Remember: all companies make mistakes now and then, and
all companies will have periodic unhappy customers due to things in and beyond
their control. Even if there's a bad
report, there are also probably lots of good reports. Get references (not
from the ones the company gives you, but random ones) for the best way of
determining if the shipper is a good and reliable one that honestly cares about
your horses.
