Commercial Shippers (MD to MA)

[pday09]

I was wondering if anyone knows of any commercial shippers that would take a horse from Laurel, MD to South Hadley, MA. I'm headed up to college this fall and I've never had to ship this far before. My dad isn't keen on driving the nearly 400 miles.
I've never used a commercial shipper so I was wondering if there are any reputable companies out there that make trips like this? Thanks!

Beth Leduc from Castor Farm out of CT, she is wonderful!

I would recommend Joe Renner, Ashlin Sport Horses. Terrific guy! I don't have his phone number right in front of me but his website is http://www.firenzi1.com/

Johnson Horse Transport does a lot of hauling of horses imported into JFK so I'm sure they are in that area frequently. Tim Dutta recommends them for the horses they fly in, so they must give consistently reliable service. My stallion came on one of their vans and they did a fabulous job. I don't think they have a website but you can get the phone number via google.

well I'm just guessing- but perhaps you are coming to good old Mount Holyoke?
If so, welcome! And please do join some teams- we have three (eq, dressage and western).
I just finished my first year there and live VERY close to campus!
The college often uses Fairway Horse Transport, and I have used them a few times to take horses to and from MA and VA.

Yeah! We're headed to MHC for the first time this year. :-) I'm planning on doing dressage... although if I'm not too busy I'd like to do eq also. I will certainly give them a call. Thanks everyone for your help!
