Our first biiiiiig trip of the year is coming up fast and filling up! Northeast to the northwest and all the northern states in-between.
Plan is to leave central NY on the 18th and to land in Washington by Friday evening. I have one spot open heading west.
After dropping off in Washington, we are headed to Cody, WY for a few days. After Cody, we will be leaving on the 28th with a pick up in Wyoming to come back east. Several spots open coming east. We can detour from that route within reason. Either way please don’t hesitate to ask! I can map it out and see if I can make it work.
We are legal and commercially insured. We lay over nightly at horse motels and your horse will have hay and water at all times. We have made some changes to how we plan our lay overs and will be planning them ahead of time. Our lay overs will be more set from now on whether your horse was just loaded or have been on. Every horse will be laid over on big trips, however babies and unhandled horses will stay on in box stalls unless requested otherwise and on a case by case basis. If your horse has special needs, congrats, your horse comes first when planning lay overs, no exceptions anymore. Whether your horse gets laid over or not will depend on the trip and where your horse is going to and from. I have never had an issue doing lay overs whether the horse is new to travel or a seasoned pro. This is for the health and safety of all horses on board as well as myself. As much as I hate to admit it I’m not superwoman, all nighters are killer on me and if I’m going to keep doing this hauling gig I have to take care of myself as well 🤣 I’m not making that mistake again 🫠 This also means we will only travel within 11 hours a day from now on as well.
And yes, your horse absolutely has to have a health certificate and a coggins when crossing state lines. No paperwork, no load. It is a federal law, not a state by state or transporter by transporter requirement. There are big fines and your horse and everyone else on board will be quarantined if caught without. Western states, yes you need to supply a brand inspection. If you’re in a brand inspection state they are required. Only exception is eastern states that typically are not brand inspection states. If your horse originates from a non brand inspection state you do not need one. Only horses being picked up out west coming east and who are in a brand inspection state need one.
Hope to see you soon! 🐴
