Our travel experts make great efforts to schedule horses going to the same area of destination to reduce travel time. Mixed loads are grouped together keeping the number of drops to a minimum.

WHAT IS CARRIER'S CONVENIENCE?
"Carrier's Convenience" is traveling when there is a load of horses going to your city/area of destination. Our dispatchers will inform you of our travel frequency to the destination requested. We will call you one or two days in advance of shipping to arrange pick-up times.

WHAT TYPE OF INSURANCE DO YOU HAVE FOR MY HORSE OR IS INSURANCE AVAILABLE?
Each horse is insured for $2,000 during shipping. If additional insurance is required, shipping insurance can be acquired through your insurance agent.

HOW MANY DRIVERS GO ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS?
Two drivers/horsemen are on each long distance trip.

DOES SALLEE HAVE ATTENDANTS THAT RIDE WITH THE HORSES?
Yes, we have attendants upon request, and on all mixed/carrier's convenience trips.

WHAT PAPERWORK IS NEEDED FOR TRAVEL?
Upon confirming shipping arrangements, our travel experts will advise you on the appropriate paperwork needed for your destination. Typically, your horse will need a current negative coggins test and a Health Certificate. Other requirements may be necessary depending on destination.

What are some tips to prepare my horse for the most comfortable shipping?

• Oil and antibiotic young horses that have been through sales, and horses traveling 12 hours or more.
• Oil horses that are traveling extremely long distances.
• Send your own hay. Your horse is used to it.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT BANDAGING?
It is each owner/trainer's preference. However, many horses are not used to bandages (i.e. young horses). Often on long trips, bandages will slip causing more problems than they would protect. If bandages slip, we will remove them. It is also important to know that we will not bandage or re-set bandages on trips. We will have bandages removed during layover at our facility, and re-set by our vet upon request.

DO SALLEE DRIVERS FEED AND WATER HORSES DURING TRAVEL?
We will give horses a filled hay-net, and water them frequently throughout their trip. Most horses prefer their hay from home. Horses in box stalls will have water buckets hanging in their stall.

IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE HOME, WILL SALLEE DRIVERS DROP THE HORSE OFF AT OUR FARM AND PUT IT IN THE STALL?
No. For safety purposes, farm personnel must load and unload the horse(s).

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY HORSE IS BEING SHIPPED TO MY FARM?
The Sallee office sets up shipping with the originating farm. It is the originating farm's responsibility to notify the farm of destination on estimated time of arrival.

WHAT STALL SPACE SHOULD I REQUEST FOR MY HORSE'S TRAVEL?
We offer three types of space for travel:

• Single Stall - This is the smallest space, and we only provide it on request.
• Stall and a Half - This is the standard space that is used, and provides more room for your horse than the single stall.
• Box Stall - This is the only space where your horse is loose in the stall. It provides your horse with the space and comforts similar to home. Travelling in a box stall provides horses the opportunity to move around. It has been proven in studies that horses that travel in box stalls have less illness and fatique from travel than horses in standing stalls. Box stalls are often used for mares and foals, weanlings, and race horses. Box stalls are provided upon request.
