Shipping from Bowie to FL

Hello all, I recently purchased a horse off the Bowie livestock site and am having issues finding someone to transport. Has anyone had experience with them? Thanks in advance.

Equine Express is based in Pilot Point where they have an overnight layup it is 75 miles east of Bowie

Ducking in to say, this, right here, is why the internet was invented.

Thanks for giving me a little faith in the universe this afternoon.

I sent you a PM with a quarantine contact if you need it.

Equine Express is a great transport service, best wishes to you and your new horse!

Thank you all for the support, I have a few contacts I found I’ve been corresponding with but personal recommendations and exploring the options are a wonderful resource.

Agree with E

Ooops…agree with Equine Express. They’re the only ones I’ll ship with.

I used Circle S out of Florida three times for moves from the NE and to the Midwest. They’re now Hilton Hitch. They might have a better deal since they’re based out of the Ocala area.

You can also try Run-Amok Transport. They have a hub here in NTX.
Not sure about quarantine requirements coming out of a sale barn if you’re taking a fill spot, but it’s definitely worth a phone call to them! Joel is the best.

Yeah, I also love Equine Express but you’re probably going to need to quarantine the horse before it could get on a ‘regular’ load. Or pay for a dedicated private haul.

I’d like to personally thank everyone here who chimed in to help, I am happy to say I not only found a transporter but also a quarantine all in one. Very happy so far, but can’t wait to finally get him home.
