Flo S. replied:
I shipped mine from Southern California to Colorado and back, I used War Horse Transport. They gave me a military discount so I paid less than 1000. They took great care of my horse and sent me pictures his entire trip.

I’ve been Coast to Coast. I would say for your trip 2000-2500. I used Brookledge Horse Transportation and they are awesome.
Carrie W. replied:
$1800 to ship from TX to NY, box stall, many years ago. We used Equine Transport. They were awesome! I'd also recommend Brookledge.
Julia R. replied:
I shipped my mare from Maryland to Tennessee. I used https://www.facebook.com/274972529276403MG Horse Transport LLC and they were extremely fair on pricing.
Sarah H. replied:
I shipped my horse from Indiana to Colorado and it was $850. I used https://www.facebook.com/144159395630420 Bob Hubbard Horse Transportation and I highly recommend them. I’m in northern Colorado (in Loveland near Fort Collins) so if you need a horse buddy or boarding recommendations in that area I’m very happy where I am, please feel free to ask!!

I did Brook Ledge from MD to WA. Air ride. Box stall, wonderful experience. I wouldn't choose anyone else. 4 k.

Paladin Horse Transport out of N Georgia is beyond amazing & the only one I trust with my horses. He had a truck emergency & literally walked my boy down the road a few miles & boarded him & stayed with him making sure he was comfortable and had hay/water. He loves them like his own.

Heather G. replied:
I've used Jimmy Parlier Horse Transport to move my mare from TX to KS and KS to WA. He's super reasonable and my horse has had excellent care in his hands. I want to say it was around $1,200 to get her from KS to WA. No one else even came close to his rate.

Agree, Equine Express or Brookledge. I have used Equine Express twice a year for the past 2+ years to ship my horses back-and-forth between Texas and Colorado and they are great! Two years ago I did call Brookledge but they didn't do my route; been happy with Equine Express. Horses arrive as good as when they left!!

Look up MJK Quarter Horses and Horse Transport. They are phenomenal and moved my horse from PA to WI and my friends horse all the way from NC to CA (Taylor Leigh Stotler). They are really the best and care so much about the horses. Genuinely great people. I would say from my experience sometimes the little guys are cheaper and if you find the right one (like these guys I suggested) they can give specialized care to your horse unlike the big guys. MJK cares for your horse like their own!
