Some great tips from Canter PA :


General Transportation Tips

Some of these tips will vary depending on if you are transporting yourself or using a commercial shipper.

Check your state guidelines for health paperwork by visiting:
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/animals/animal_import/animal_imports_states.shtml


Pack the following:

  • a first aid kit, both human and equine
  • an extra halter and lead rope
  • horse treats or grain
  • a bucket
Research farms that offer overnight boarding along your route:

  • www.horsemotel.com
  • www.horseandtravel.com


Other things to consider:

  • Talk with your vet about giving your horse things such as UlcerGard/GastroGard or electrolytes
  • Provide ample hay and fresh water
  • Consider wetting the hay if it is dusty
  • Maintain sufficient air quality in the trailer
  • Allow your horse’s head to reach his knees to prevent respiratory illnesses
  • Be a sympathetic driver; be mindful of pot holes, sharp turns, sudden stops etc.
  • If you stop, be sure to park in the shade
  • Allow extra time to load your new horse; most track horses are accustomed to transport but your rig may be different to him, so be patient.
  • Rest your horse for a week after a long trip



Questions You Should Ask Your Transporter

  • What methods of payment do you take?  When is payment due?
  • How often do you stop and check the horses?  Will the horses be unloaded to rest?
  • Do you provide hay and water for the horses?
  • What size stalls are offered?
  • How soon can shipment be arranged?
  • Do you recommend I wrap my horse’s legs?
  • Will you put a horse in a stall at the destination if no one is available to meet you at the time of drop off?
  • Should I blanket my horse?
  • Do you use more than one driver on long hauls?
  • What type of insurance do you have?
  • Is my horse covered by your insurance?
  • Do you have attendants with the horses or video cameras in the trailer?
  • Does the cost of the trip change due to the number of horses you are hauling at that time?
  • Are the horses’ heads tied or are they free to move about (in a box stall)?

PA Racehorse Rehoming,Rehabilitation, Rescue is a Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Federal ID number: 66-0821935
whose Articles of Incorporation were filed with the State of Pennsylvania on May 9, 2014 (effective date of exemption) with
Public Charity Status 509(a)(2) under section 501(c)(3).
Contributions made to PARR are tax deductible. Our Letter of Determination
from the IRS was received on April 16, 2015 and any donations made after May 9th, 2014 may qualify for tax exemption.


Our Legal Name is "PA Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation, & Rescue" and we often go by the abbreviated nickname "PARR". PARR operates  on a 100% volunteer basis with all proceeds going to our cause and the animals. Any and all items or monetary donations go directly to the expenses of supporting these animals. This includes veterinary expenses, transport, "pull" fees, food/boarding or stabling/supplies/etc, legal fees, advertising/event costs, merchandise expenses, website and technology fees etc. Individuals on the Board are not paid for their positions. We offer 100% transparency and are happy to answer any questions and provide all financial information at any time.
Our officers, directors, and volunteers take a neutral position with respect to the controversy associated with horse racing. Our efforts focus on the well being, re-homing, and education and support of ex-racehorses and finding them new careers after their racing careers have ended. We also support at-risk shelter dogs and occasional at-risk horses that end up neglected or in auction/slaughter situations when finances and abilities allow us to help. Any "listings" are simply to help network animals into new homes and we
can not be responsible for the representation of those animals.

As of July 2021, the facility we rented in Pennsylvania was sold out from under us with barely enough time to relocate over 30 horses anywhere in the area. We were able to secure a permanent residence at a new farm in Ocala and move all of our horses there. PARR now resides in Ocala, Florida but still operates as usual, helping horses from Pennsylvania as much as we can, offering sanctuary to our lifelong residents that are not adoptable or require veterinary care to say comfortable, and have our OTTB retraining program here in Ocala as well.

We are now permanently located at 6856 SW 70th Ave. Ocala, Florida 34476.
