Layup & rehab
Moving a horse that's hurt, recovering from surgery, or heading to a layup farm takes extra space, extra time, and extra patience. We follow your veterinarian's instructions to the letter.
How rehab trips differ
Box stall
Room to stand square, shift weight, and lower the head — standard on every rehab trip.
Vet coordination
We follow written instructions on medications, bandages, hay, and how long the horse can travel.
Unhurried loading
Low ramps, extra time, and a second handler for horses that are sore or stall-bound.
Smooth routing
We choose routes for road quality, not just speed, and drive gently through turns and stops.
Frequent checks
More frequent stops and camera monitoring the entire trip.
Hospital discharges
We pick up from equine hospitals directly and receive discharge instructions in person.
When we'll say no
If a horse isn't fit to travel, moving it can do real harm. We won't load a horse that is down, unable to bear weight, or showing signs of severe colic unless a veterinarian has cleared it and, where appropriate, is accompanying the trip. In those cases we'll help you find the right option, including veterinary ambulance services.
Questions
Can you give medications on the road?
We can give oral medications according to written vet instructions. We don't administer injections.
Do you haul to layup farms outside Florida?
Yes, on private trips. Long rehab hauls include an overnight stop if your vet recommends it.
Can my vet talk to you before the trip?
We encourage it. Share their contact and we'll call to confirm instructions.
