What happens between pickup and delivery.
These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every trip. If we ever fall short, we want to hear about it.
Our equipment
Air-ride suspension on all long-haul rigs to reduce road vibration Rubber-matted, non-slip floors bedded with shavings Padded partitions, adjustable to standard or box stalls Roof vents, drop windows, and fans for Florida heat Interior cameras viewable from the cab Rigs inspected before every departure and serviced on a written schedule
On the road
Water
Offered at every stop. We can bring water from home for picky drinkers.
Hay
Quality hay in nets, refilled throughout. Your own hay on request.
Heat management
In summer, we schedule early-morning and evening travel and avoid long stops in the sun.
Health checks
Attitude, legs, manure, and temperature monitored on longer hauls.
Paperwork checklist
Negative Coggins (EIA) test
Within 12 months — required for all trips.
Certificate of Veterinary Inspection
Within 30 days — required for interstate trips.
Destination requirements
Some states, shows, and sales add their own; we'll confirm when quoting.
Emergency vet authorization
Signed on your booking form so we can act if we can't reach you.
Insurance & licensing
Ozzie and Sons Transport Inc. carries commercial auto liability and cargo coverage for horses in our care. Our federal motor carrier registration details and certificates of insurance are provided with every interstate quote or on request.
Our cargo coverage has limits per horse and does not replace equine mortality or major medical insurance. Owners of high-value horses should confirm their own policy covers transport.
