This message is from: Paula Chmura <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have to say though that Hubbard almost killed a pony of mine and after that experience I would never send a Fjord with them. My pony mare was sent with a bale of grass hay and strict instructions only to feed her that hay but the driver "knew better" and decided to feed her the straight alfalfa sent with a bunch of tb's also on the load. When we unloaded her the idiot was just like "man your pony ate twice as much as any big horse on the truck" I tried to explain to the drivers about pony's and founder and why she had grass hay but the guys were clueless. The pony was very gassy and had diarhea for several days and the vet said we were very lucky she didn't founder (she looked like she gained a couple hundred pounds on the trip). At any rate since then I've used Bill Roberts Horse Transport a number of times with good luck and recently shipped Frodo across country (CA to FL) with Pegasus Horse Transport and he did great. Pegasus of all things was actually timely (picked up and dropped off when they said they would to the half hour), were great about calling me every few hours, stopped regularly but didn't do a multiday drop off at a hub like a lot of the big shippers will on a cross country haul (important to me - I didn't want Frodo sitting around a facility for a week or so). I'd definitely use them again.
This message is from: "Gail Russell" I have used Hubbard and found them to be very professional, and their equipment was horse friendly. They haul TB's between tracks around the country, and are most economical if you can deliver your horse to the closest track to which they do routine runs. Gail
