Key Considerations When Choosing a Provider:
- Experience and Reputation: Look for a company with a proven track record and good reviews.
- Licensing and Insurance: Ensure the transport company is properly licensed, insured, and meets all regulatory standards for animal transport.
- Specialization in Horses: It’s important to choose a service that specializes in horses, as they require specific care and expertise.
- Tracking and Communication: Some services offer tracking systems or regular updates to keep you informed about your horse’s journey.
- Cost: Rates vary depending on the service, distance, and any extra requirements. It’s crucial to get a quote in advance and understand all fees involved.
Dan Wilbaski, All about Blues
Safety and Comfort:
Non-slip Floors: To prevent the horse from slipping or falling during transit. Ventilation: Proper airflow is crucial to ensure the horse doesn’t overheat or suffer from respiratory issues. Padding and Dividers: Horses may be separated by dividers, especially in transport trucks, to prevent injuries and ensure each animal has adequate space. Comfort Stops: Long-distance transport often includes breaks to allow horses to rest and get water.
