Horse Transport Reference List
Here is a list of horse transport companies we have collected. You are responsible for finding your own transport and doing the research needed to check references, if licensed/insured/DOT compliant/etc. This is just a directory list and no guarantees on these shippers. We do not endorse or recommend any of them, this is simply a reference list we have gathered. Do your own research and judgement! Please make sure you choose a reputable company, ask questions, and do your research before hiring a hauler. Trailers should be a minimum of 7' tall, sturdy, safe, and well maintained. Racehorses are usually used to hauling in large vans, straight loads, or slant loads. They may not be used to being loose in stock trailers so those are not recommended. Box Stalls on large vans or "Stall & a Half" are the best options you can choose when shipping. This allows plenty of room for their comfort and what they are used to.
(list has been compiled from our own list, New Vocations, Canter,
and other TB resources to help you get your new horse home!)
***We have heard some horror stories from using UShip website with non-professional haulers etc,
so please be careful and call a shipper direct instead!***

List Of Transporters we have heard negative feedback from experience:
If we hear from someone having a bad experience that warrants actually adding a name to this list, we have added the name of shippers to offer those of you who wish to research them the ability to be cautious if using these shipping companies. We all know stuff happens and not every trip can always go 100% perfect, but if someone contacts us with a really unfortunate shipping experience, horses injured/severely dehydrated etc we will add those names to this list. These are not the opinions of PA Racehorse Rehoming, just that of our friends who have asked us to publish this. Thank You!
Scott Thompson horse transport / Great Lakes Equine Transport Services
*Owner had OTTB shipped, horse was on trailer for 3 days (1.5 days longer than supposed to be) with little updates and horse had at some point went down in trailer probably early on in trip and had visible wounds on front leg. Shipper was unaware of the injury and owner was not notified. Shipper had good references but this specific trip was not a good experience.
"Josh Matheny transported this horse, a 24 y.o. 15+h mare named Velvet from NJ to GA but traveled thru other states as well over a 9 day period. He demanded more money before unloading horse and refused to deliver her when new owner said they did not have it. He has now said that he sold this mare. His truck plates are from TX I will try to get a picture or the number of the plates and a picture of Josh. Contact is Tracy Snyder"
