Equine Express

It is so stressful to ship your baby right?! Well know this: Equine Express is a stress reliever! From the moment you call to get a quote you are treated w thoroughness, professionalism and compassion. They explain the route, the time right down to the exact hour they pick up and deliver your horse! You get calls from the road on how your horse is doing and you are always in contact. These are true horsemen from pick-​up to the delivery. I opted for the box stall and my horse arrived from Texas to California healthy happy and not a scratch. They shipped my tack trunk, 2 bales of hay, grain and mounting block as well. On arrival you know the guys must be tired (they have two drivers and they drive straight through so your horse is not sitting on a trailer for days. One day straight through drive. Tired as they might have been. They were helpful w unloading all my stuff that came w my horse. Always polite and handle the horses beautifully. THANK YOU EQUINE EXPRESS FOR A PERFECT EXPERIENCE! I will be using them again to ship my mare from Texas to California in the spring and will have no stress knowing she will be in their care!

I’ve used them twice. Once to bring horses from NY to MO and then from MO to WA. I can’t say enough amazing things about this place. They even moved around a shipping schedule when I had a last minute move with horses.
I love them and refuse to use anyone else (since I was super stupid and used another company I also reviewed. NEVER AGAIN! EQUINE EXPRESS ALL THE WAY)

Equine Express is the only. only! Big Rig hauler to go with! They are amazing! We shipped our 2 senior quarter horses from Paso Robles, ca to Sedro Woolley, Wa. The drivers Billy & Brandon called an hour before they got there and were right on the money! Such nice men! Gracious and very horse savvy! gentle. the van was amazing. very clean and horses on board looked very happy! My horses who have not been hauled in 15 years. hopped on and got in their stalls. all ready to go! Greg at main office was terrific with communications through out the entire process! I was a nervous wreck! The are hands down the absolute best! Also talked to the driver Billy several times He was always so nice and answered all my questions. they arrived at there new farm right when they said they would, and the owners were very impressed with the guys! and the horses looked rested and happy! I will only use them for big moves! I must also throw out there they were very reasonable in price as far as i am concerned. Box stall is the way to go!
Thank you team Equine Express! You are the Best in the USA!!!

We had our 9 horses and 2 mini mules shipped from NW Minnesota to SE Arizona. Among this group was a horse that was partially blind, a 3 yo filly who has never left the farm, experienced trail horses, a super nervous quarter horse and a huge 17 hand warm blood who can be stubborn! Let’s just say Billy had his work cut out for him! (Don’t forget the mini mules too !!) Billy was patient and kind with my group! The accomdations are excellent and first class. Everything worked exactly as they said from departure to arrival time. Horses did great and seem happy to be out of the cold! I am so spoiled now! I don’t ever want to trailer my horses again! Would definitely use Equine Express in the future! The price is right too and worth it!

I shipped my horse from Maryland to Colorado and cannot say enough good things about Equine Express! Excellent communication skills and bent over backwards to help me coordinate flying back to Maryland from Colorado to meet the truck. I was a bit of a nervous wreck shipping my horse, and Amanda patiently answered all of my questions and was always cheery and comforting that they would take care of her. Drivers on both ends of her trips gave me an hour window and arrived right on time in addition to also being incredibly friendly and personable.
Darwin made sure to let my horse sniff him and gave her some pets before walking her out of the barn… an incredibly nice gesture, especially considering it was 2 in the morning! Caleb was also really gentle and sweet with her when he dropped her off in Colorado. She looked great and he was sure to tell me how much she had been eating and drinking, which I really appreciated.
Back in the office, Mike also did a wonderful job and Amanda really brought it home with her attention to detail. I even changed the pickup location two days before she was getting picked up, and they had no issue. Amazing from start to finish!

I’d used another hauler in the past that I was satisfied with. They’ve since sold their business. I looked up different haulers, and I decided to contact Equine Express. I’m so glad I did; I’m very happy with the service I got! I never worried about my horse or how he was doing on his 3 day trip. Management is very open with their communication, as well as the driver! Service and satisfaction seem to be priority to them. I will certainly call them for my future needs, and I definitely recommend them!

We had our new horse shipped from Washington to Las Vegas. She had never been away from her prior owner nor been hauled other than locally. Every part of the transaction went great. Jared and Darwin kept me posted about their whereabouts and returned all my calls within a few minutes of my messages. Savannah arrived calm and healthy. Jared’s and Darwin’s demeanor around Savannah was reassuring to see and they even had details about her personality which showed they took the time to interact with her. We could not have asked for a better shipping experience.

I had my 20 yo, 16.2 hand Andalusian gelding shipped from TX to MO. While he didn’t leave on the exact date I had originally asked for, Max & Mike did keep in contact with me & I always felt like I knew what was going on. I was incredibly nervous & sad about my horse leaving & the guys spent as much time with me making me feel comfortable as they did with my horse getting him loaded.
I would highly recommend these guys to anyone who needed to transport their horses.

I shipped a show jumper in a box stall with them from Santa Cruz California to Laredo Texas. The were very patient with my constant calling. The truck was in good shape although the box stall was very small. When he arrived for over night in Dallas they allowed my son, who was nearby in college, to video him so I could see how he was fairing. He also watched them hand walk him at my request. They were pretty responsive with me. One negative is that they can take extra time/​days to get to destination as they crisscross to fill a truck.

We had a great experience with Equine Express. I shipped a filly from Texas to North Carolina, she had never travelled in a trailer before. The gentleman that picked her up, Mike, was so quiet and patient, my horse took to him right away. She walked right up with him at the lead. He was just a gentle soul and was so, so good with her. I was very nervous about shipping her, but he really made me feel comfortable. He called me about 10 minutes after he left just to let me know that she settled right in and was doing fine, and he gave me his cell phone number in case I wanted to check on her. I would definitely recommend this carrier to anyone who asked!

I too read the great reviews, unfortunately, I had a terrible experience. Since my horse was traveling so far, I got him a full box stall so he would be more comfortable. My horse traveled from Minnesota to Northern California with a huge head wound that he received traveling from Minnesota to Texas. The injury was under his forlock and for circumstances that I do not know, because Mike never got back to me, he was never seen by a vet. When my horse was delivered, 7 days later, I was shown the wound. When my vet came to treat, the wound was already starting to show signs of infection and had to be reopened, and the dead skin flap cut away and cleaned thoroughly. This is the day my horse arrived he had to be tranquilized. When I told Mike about the head wound, he was going to look into what had happened on his end. He even asked for my vet’s name and number. Needless to say, I never heard back from him. Thankfully, my horse healed with no scaring and settled in nicely. I will not be using Equine Express again nor recommend them to anyone.

Best experience my horse and I ever had. They were great with me on the phone and understanding when I had to switch moving dates a few times. My horse was picked up on time and I communicated with the drivers as well as the dispatchers during his trip. He arrived at the time they told me and came off the trailer like he had just had a great adventure instead of traveling 1135 miles from Wisconsin to Texas. I am very happy I used Equine Express and I highly recommend them.

I had a great experience using Equine Express. They were responsive, friendly, and most importantly, took great care of my horse on a trip halfway across the country. They are very professional and clearly care for the animals they are entrusted with. They were also priced quite well, which was the icing on the cake!

Very accommodating and professional team. The rig was clean and well maintained. Always answered the phone when I called when they were on the road. They were the least expensive with the best service I’ve ever had. We moved 1 Tennessee Walker and 12 miniature horses, a ton of hay and a load of tack from WA to TX. It took 8 people 2 hours to load up and Geno made sure every horse was safe and secure (including 3 stallions) before loading the next one. All arrived sound and happy. Highly recommend. I can’t sing enough praise for this company.
