About Us

The Leading Horse Transportation Company since 1963

For over forty-eight years, Sallee Horse Vans has earned its reputation every time we carry a horse to a race, a breeding shed, a new home – whatever the job, we have always made sure you, our customer, are happy with the work we do. From the very first time one or our trucks roared to life, we have understood the importance of every trip we make.

This is a family owned business and, as far as we’re concerned, if you are doing business with us, you are part of our family. You’ll find our employees feel the same way and treat you and your animals with care and respect.

As we approach our fiftieth anniversary, it’s easy to see how important this attitude is, how it contributes to our number-one ranking in our industry, and how you count on us for the same reliable, safe and courteous service time after time. We appreciate your trust and know we have to build on it with every shipment.

A TEAM EFFORT

Sallee Horse Vans operates a fleet of the safest, most up-to-date vans in the industry, just as you’d expect from a company that not only operates them, but builds them, too. Our maintenance is handled by our own staff, the same people who build our high-quality trailers. It stands to reason that, if you build them, you know how to keep them in the best possible condition, and we do.
Considering that many of our drivers – who are horsemen, too – have been with us for over twenty years, we think that shows we believe that treating our employees right is the key to a successful business. When we say we our employees are part of the family, we believe this is proof positive that we mean what we say.

We make sure their training and certifications are up to date, and we listen to their suggestions and concerns. After all, they are the ones who talk with you, handle your horses and make sure they arrive safe, calm and ready for whatever is next. Our staff is the key element in our high-quality horse transportation.
