Other Useful Information
We ask that you provide hay for your horse in order to keep the same feed. This simple change of feed can be a common stress on our equine friends, and not getting fill as needed can be very dangerous for your horse.
We believe that your horse should be able to ride without a bridal tie to help keep the upper respiratory system free and clear. We stop frequently (200-225 miles) for rest, water,to check hay bags for fullness, and possible dehydration testing.
Your horse will never travel more than 16 to 18 hours in a day. Giving our riders and drivers a chance to rest keeping your horse in top physical condition
Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions
What do I need before I ship my horse?
Before shipment date, you will need a health certificate (good for 30 days); a Coggins test for Equine Infectious Anemia (good for 6 months to a year-check with your local vet for state laws upon this matter); And possibly a brand inspection if your horse is from one of the following states;
Arizona-Colorado-Montana-Idaho-Nebraska-Nevada-New Mexico-Oregon-Utah-Washington-Whyoming
***Only if your horse is from one of the listed states is the brand inspection required***
Do I need shipping boots?
Shipping boots are not required for shipment. Young horses that have never trailered before or are not used to boots are NOT recommended to wear any. If at any tome the boot comes off, it will not be reapplied for liability reasons.
Do I need insurance for my horse?
4M Horse Transportation covers all horses for a minimum amount of mortality required by the ICC. For horses of greater value, the obligation of further insurance is required by the owner of the horse. 4M can help provide insurance but is not in any way an insurance agent or broker.
How long will my horse travel?
Your horse will travel no more than 16-18 hours in a given day. Traveling 24 hours a day is not recommended for your horses health and well being.
Can I take extra tack and how much?
Light tack is carried without charge (single trunk or saddles & Bridals). Extra hay and complete tack storages are too space consuming and will result in extra charges or small fee. **please check when booking your horse if you have a large amount of tack**
Will the truck be delivering in the middle of the night?
On occasion our deliveries may be as late as 11:30 PM to 12:00 AM. We can not control weather or traffic situations and must keep your horse and others on for a safe time period.
