A few years ago, FedEx and Kalita came up with a container-sized Horse transport that they can fit inside of an airplane along with other cargo, instead of having to charter an entire plane to move animals, say for the Kentucky Derby or the Dubai Stakes. He said it was just a matter of time before some almost minimum wage contract rampy did something stupid, that would cause a horse worth $20-20 million to get hurt.

(OP) User ID: 80558422 ![]() 11/20/2023 07:14 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The care taken in transport is extreme. Bought a pony located in Arizona. My Pumpkin entry guy! Shipping to here - many days. Several horse haulers over the time. First driver was my contact person the ENTIRE TIME. the others took photos to show the pony was okay, several times a day. There was a glitch at the very end and it WAS straightened out quickly. On another note, when Snowman, the most celebrated jumper of all times - A PLOW HORSE BOUGHT OFF THE TRUCK TO THE GLUE FACTORY On his trips to Europe, he was lifted by crane and sling onto an ocean liner. Looked so precarious in newsreels and his movie! Last Edited by beeches on 11/20/2023 07:26 AM ![]() |

Horses fear everything they don't know "It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman) Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman. And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower and when He could be certain only drowning men could see Him- Leonard Cohen |

Sometimes that involves travel. Horse transportation is also sometimes to a distant vet, if the locals cannot perform the surgery needed. It is a fact of life for them. ![]() |
