Horse Shipping & Delivery Services at Broke Horses & Ponies
Buying a horse or pony is an exciting experience, but many buyers have questions about how their horse will be safely transported. At Broke Horses & Ponies, we make horse shipping and delivery simple, safe, and stress-free—no matter where you are located.
This guide explains how horse shipping works, the different transport options, and what to expect when your horse is delivered.
Why Professional Horse Shipping Is Important
Horses are sensitive animals that require special care during transport. Unlike regular cargo, horses must travel in properly equipped trailers with experienced handlers who understand:
- Horse behavior and stress management
- Safe loading and unloading techniques
- Proper ventilation and spacing
- Regular rest, feeding, and hydration
Professional horse shipping ensures your horse arrives healthy, calm, and ready to settle into its new home.
Our Horse Shipping Process
At Broke Horses & Ponies, we follow a structured and transparent shipping process to ensure every horse and pony travels safely.
1. Pre-Shipping Preparation
Before transport, each horse is:
- Fully inspected for travel readiness
- Properly halter-trained for safe handling
- Given time to relax and acclimate before loading
We also help buyers understand health paperwork, including:
- Health certificates
- Coggins test (when required)
2. Safe & Comfortable Transport
We work with professional horse transporters who use:
- Purpose-built horse trailers
- Non-slip flooring and padded partitions
- Adequate ventilation and climate awareness
Depending on distance and location, your horse may travel:
- Directly (private transport)
- Shared transport with other compatible horses
Both options are handled with safety as the top priority.
3. Feeding, Water & Rest Stops
During longer trips, horses receive:
- Regular water breaks
- Hay during rest periods
- Scheduled stops to reduce fatigue
This helps minimize travel stress and keeps horses calm throughout the journey.
4. Delivery to Your Location
Upon arrival, the transporter will:
- Safely unload your horse
- Allow the horse time to adjust
- Confirm the horse arrives in good condition
We recommend buyers have:
- A clean stall or paddock ready
- Fresh water and hay available
- A quiet environment for the first few hours

Preparing for Your Horse’s Arrival
