Horses are rested and watered every 4 hours in route. Greatest concern is their drinking.
Quality hay in front of them at all times for entertainment, as much as for calories.
Short travel days: 12 to 14 hours, so horses aren’t overtired and stressed.
Show style, slant haul trailers.
Trailers cleaned and freshly bedded on a regular basis at approved waste disposal sites.
Excellent ventilation in each stall with screened bars in drop-down windows.
Drivers are horse people who are kind, patient and compassionate toward horses.
Daily contact with owners by drivers and/or the office.
SVS transport service has earned the trust of horse owners of many breeds and disciplines, who have offered to recommend us. We will be happy to send a list of references, so that you can gain confidence in trusting your horse to our care.
We will happily give you a quote on any route within the continental United States. We currently do not service Alaska, Hawaii and transport to and from Canada is limited. A discount is offered for multiple horses on the same trailer and for reserving 30 days in advance. A trip is confirmed with a $100 reservation fee and completion of the Transport Order form, which we will gladly fax or email. The non-refundable transport order reservation fee of $100 must be received in advance to reserve your stalls. This should arrive at our office at least 7 days prior to the trips departure date. Acceptable forms of payment are certified checks, cashier’s checks, wire transfers, cash and PayPal. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. If 50% on pickup is not in the accepted methods of payment we will not pickup your horse(s). If the remaining 50% on delivery is not in the accepted methods of payment we will hold your horse(s) until proper payment has been received. If final payment is not paid within 15 days we will be forced to auction your horse(s).
If we can help you plan your horse’s travel to a new home or if you have further questions, please contact us at the address or phone numbers below.
