Transport information

1. It is required that each horse has a Coggins Test that is less than one year old, as well

as a Health Certificate that is less than thirty (30) days old. These documents must be the

originals, not copies, if traveling to or through Arizona, California, or Florida. Copies will

be accepted for all other routes. The current Coggins Test and Health Certificate must be

provided at the time of pick-up of the horse(s) and will accompany the horse(s) to the final

destination.

2. It is required that the horse(s) be wearing a leather or nylon halter that is in good

condition and appropriately fitted to the horse and that the horse(s) be confined to a

3. One reasonably sized box of tack will be shipped at no charge. There will be a charge

for additional or oversized items.

4. National Equine Transportation must be advised at the time of initial contact if there

will be a problem in safely getting the transport rig in or out of the pick up or delivery

location. It is required that ample space be available to maneuver a transport truck and

trailer for loading and in turning around.

5. It is National Equine Transportation’s standard policy to fax the Transportation

Contract to Owner/Agent and receive a completed copy of the Contract via fax before

horse(s) are picked up. A transport stall will be reserved upon receipt of a signed

Transportation Contract. It is required that a deposit equal to 50% of the Total

Transportation Cost be received by National Equine Transportation no later than 4 days

following receipt of said contract. The balance will be due at the origination or

destination point.

6. It is required that National Equine Transportation be advised at the time of scheduling

transportation of horse(s) of any unusual characteristics that might affect the horse

and/or the transport drivers during the trip (examples: loading/unloading problems,

blindness, tendency to kick or strike-out, history of Colic, extreme age, claustrophobia,

soundness problems, etc.).

7. It is required that Owner/Agent provide one bale of hay per horse so that the horse’s

diet is not changed during transit, otherwise coastal hay provided by National Equine

Transportation will be fed. If the horse(s) have special feeding requirements, National

Equine Transportation must be advised of the same at the time of scheduling the

transport and again upon pick-up.

8. It is required that the horse(s) not be fed grain one feeding before pick-up and not be

fed grain the first feeding after delivery.

9. Bandage type leg-wrappings are not recommended during transit. It is required that

shipping boots be used only if the horse(s) are accustomed to wearing them.

10. Because it is not a horse's natural environment to be confined and transported long

distances, it can be an uncomfortable and stressful event (especially the first transport).

Therefore, prior to pick-up, the horse should be exposed to a confined space or stall a few

times wearing any tack intended for their trip. Time spent preparing the horse(s) will be

advantageous to the horse's transport experience.

11. The transport driver will call the day before pick-up with a two hour time frame for

arrival on all pick-ups and deliveries. During that two hour time frame the transport driver

will call for more specific directions. It is very important that alternate phone numbers be

provided for ultimate accuracy as to pick-up and delivery locations. The transport driver

will not be able to pick-up or deliver by the address provided only
