Information/Requirements | Local and Long Distance Horse Transport

Additional Information:

Rates per miles varies depending on the distance. The 1st horse is charged at our full rate. Then any additional horse(s), get up to 70% off per mile per horse.

The driver will stop periodically for clean up, walk horse(s), feeding (hay), water, etc.

Any trip that takes more then 12 hours, the driver will stop at horse campground/horse hotel/overnight boarding; additional fee will apply per horse.

The Ameri-Swiss Homestead does offer waiting time if needed to stay due to an event (rodeo, show, auction, etc), additional fee may apply depending on the length of waiting time.
We do offer round trip service that saves you up to 40% per mile. Round trip is point A to point B and return to point A with no additional stop(s) or detour. Multiple stops are charged as a normal transport shipment.

There is a camera installed inside the horse trailer at all time, so the driver can check on the horse(s) periodically while driving. This is for insurance purposes.

We do not operate yearly around. We operate April till winter weather begins (snow/ice). We don't travel to any location if there is snow or ice on the ground. During a bad storm, the driver will communicate with client(s) with any updates. Our primary goal is to get your horse(s) safely to their destination with ZERO risk as possible.
