Marshall,

Oscar and Sendero arrived last night. Everything was fine – Oscar is a great guy.

Thanks for the great way you handled this.

Hello Marshall,

A HUGE "thank you" to both you and Oscar! Your transport really bailed us out when the "other" people we booked with took our deposit and left us stranded. Oscar called every day to let us know how the horses were doing and where he was on the long cross country trip. All three horses were just fine. Oscar is one good horse person I would highly recommend! Our thanks again.......it is good to know there are still honest people out there!

Hi Marshall

Oscar was wonderful with my horses. I felt totally confident that my horses would be well cared for and settled during the long trip, which was a new feeling for me in having my horses transported. I actually did not worry at all! Please relay my thanks to Oscar.

Sorry I have no photos to send.

Hey there!

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful transport. Oscar was FABULOUS!!! I highly recommend him and would be happy to be used as a reference if needed. Decent transporters are few and far between and everything was just perfect on mine. THANK YOU!!! :-) Take care!

Dear Scott,

I would like to thank you and Oscar for providing a safe and successful hauling experience to move my new horse from Missouri to South Carolina.  I have never done anything like this before, and was pretty nervous about how it would work out.  But you and Oscar were very helpful, and Saire arrived on time and in good shape.  I was very pleased with Pure Pleasure, and will certainly recommend your company when I have a chance to do so.

Best wishes,

Barbara F.

THANK YOU

Hi Marshall,

We just wanted to thank you very much for having our horses transported to Boone, NC safe and sound on Saturday.

The driver was awesome keeping us updated on his arrival here in Florida to delivering our horses to the stable in NC. He was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing and we felt very safe and at ease when he left here with them. If ever we should need horse transportation services again we would definitely call on your company and request him, we will also always keep you in mind should anyone else we know need your services.

The stables contacted us shortly after the horses arrival and informed us that the horses were doing wonderful and looked great.

Again a big thank you and especially to The driver !!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Cyndi & Brian A. and Debbi H.

Dear Marshall,

Just a short note to let you know that my two geldings arrived safely in Sheridan, Montana this morning.

I was really impressed with your driver from start to finish. He arrived on schedule in Tucson, Arizona to pick up the horses. His trailer was clean and well prepared with ample water buckets and feed bags. The box stalls provided each horse with ample room during the long haul. At the end of each day, the driver would call me with an update as to his location and the
condition of the horses. This morning, when he arrived at his destination, he called to advise that he had dropped off the horses on schedule. My friends at the ranch, called me shortly afterwards to say that the horses had arrived and looked good after a long trip.

Thank you to the driver and Pure Pleasure Horse Transport for hauling my horses safely and efficiently from Tucson, Arizona to Sheridan, Montana.

I now know who to call for all of my future horse transportation needs.

Thanks again,
Greg C.

Marshall:

In 2004, my husband and I picked out a 6 month old gelding during a visit to a 3,000 acre Quarter Horse Ranch in Junction City , KS . We agreed that “Wizzard” should spend the majority of his youth “being a horse” and running with his buddy across the plains of his 100+ acre pasture. At 2 years old, Wizzard went off to the trainer for 2 months. Three more months of Natural Horsemanship training and our boy was ready to make the 1121 mile journey to Virginia . Having never hired a transport company before, the task of choosing a transporter was overwhelming, scarey and completely out of my comfort zone. Obtaining Coggins, Insurance, Health Certificates, etc….no problem…thinking of choosing a transporter and my stress level shot thru the roof.

Two months before needing actual transport, I went online and sent out a request for estimates. Each response/company boasted their history, vehicles, liability, drivers, etc. The range of prices went from $600 to $1500. Box stall, gooseneck, slant load, overnight stop, I was no closer to making a decision and seemed even more confused than when I started. Then as the date of transport approached, the phone rang. It was Pure Pleasure Horse Transport calling to determine if I had chosen a transporter. WOW…this was the ONLY transport company that actually followed-up. I was immediately impressed that in the current world of companies not providing customer service to the consumer, your company did. After many questions and many phone calls with you, I confidently signed the contract.

On 9/9/06, the driver arrived at the ranch “on time” as agreed. The folks at the ranch were immediately impressed with Wizzard’s box stall, flooring of the trailer, multiple water buckets and hay bags hanging. The driver called me to inform the moment he was on the road, that he would make regular contact and that I could call anytime to find out their location and status. As promised, the driver kept regular contact. With each call, I was professionally informed of location, wellbeing of Wizzard and whether he was eating/drinking properly. With each call, I found the driver to be a calming presence. His demeanor gave me much comfort and I knew that Wizzard was in very capable hands.

Wizzard arrived home on 9/11/06. As he walked off the trailer, what struck me immediately was how relaxed and calm he was. He looked around and then dropped his head to nibble on some grass. Most notable was that 2 days later when we had to load him for a quick trip down the road, he immediately loaded. This spoke volumes for me in that his experience with the driver had been positive and one that had not caused fear or anxiety on any level.

My deepest thanks to the driver and to you Marshall. You delivered my dream horse safe and sound. I would highly recommend your organization to anyone and everyone who is considering transporting one or multiple horses. Please feel free to include me on your list of References as I will sing your praises to anyone who wishes to call for a reference.

Attached is a picture of my sweet boy…home in Virginia !

Marshall:

I wanted to take a moment and thank you so much for the wonderful job you did bringing my two babies to Washington. After seeing how impressed Kendra was with John arriving in Alaska there was not doubt who I would use. Your driver, Florencio, was awesome! He kept us posted the whole trip.
I would recommend you in a heartbeat, and will use you again in any move that we make.
Thank you again

10 mini horses, and 2 mini donkeys. Traveled with us from Phoenix AZ to Alabama in February 2007.

This was a fun trip for all.  Getting in the trailer with them to feed was a real treat.  They were all very well behaved.  These pictures were taken on delivery. 

Everybody Out !

This is "Tayo" on delivery.  He had been in the middle stall and had to check out what had been going on in the back for the past two days.   He was absolutely Snow White and had two perfect blue eyes.

This is " ROO " the mini stallion .. He had the single suite in the front for this trip.  He was a very good traveler, but we ready to see his new home.

This is mini Jenny... HERE'S LOOKING AT YA !!! Hmm... is that sugar in your pocket?

This is rather late in being sent, but I wanted to thank you ( and one of your drivers who's name I can no longer recall) for your excellent customer service and care of my 2 paint mares you shipped for me last year. The first horse "Red Cloud" from Tennessee (traveled with the "birthday" horse who is also in your feedback) you brought to me yourself and your communication and on-time arrival was wonderful. The mares breeder whom you picked her up from also sang your praises to me when I called to let her know she had arrived. The second passenger was my (then) weanling filly "Dream" who traveled down to me in MO from Wisconsin. To my knowledge she had never been in a trailer and your driver was very patient with her and had little trouble getting her to hop right in! Her breeder also had good things to say from her end as well. I recommend you to everyone that I hear needs a horse shipped! When I need shipping again yours will be the only number I call! I have hauled a lot in the past and I was as worry free as I would have been if I had driven them here myself!
Thank You!!! Lisa in Missouri .   

Just a quick E-mail to let you know the absolutely outstanding job the driver did while he transported my Show Paint Gelding from Arizona to Connecticut – 2600+ plus miles. My horse arrived in perfect condition, with-out one strand of hair out of place. The driver's commitment and care to the horses that he is transporting is extremely rare in your industry. Please let everyone know who calls to book a transport, that Jeff is the “best”. I will certainly use your transport services in the future.

My horse was so well taken care of, after the long journey, I was able to saddle him up within a few hours of receiving him, and enjoyed a wonderful scenic trail ride.

Thanks again!!!!

Dear Marshall,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. When my colt arrived in Maine from Missouri on 9/9/06 he looked really great. Jeff took good care of him and did a great job. I had been really stressed out about someone I didn’t know hauling my colt, but the was very considerate of my feelings and worries during the long trip. He assured me that everything was going good and called me everyday to fill me in on my baby. I also called him a few times. When they arrived my colt didn’t want to get off the trailer. But with the driver’s help and patience all ended well. If and when I ever have to have another baby or horse transported I will be calling Pure Pleasure. I have already told a lot of my friends. Thank you all so very much.

Lori ( Limestone, Me )

Hi Marshall,
Just want you to know that my yearling arrived today in great shape and the driver was very nice to deal with. That was a long way for a little guy to go, but he looks like he just walked down the street instead of coming almost a 1,000 miles. From the first time I called and all the way through the process you were personable and easy to deal with. You will definitely be the hauler I call in the future and I'll recommend you wherever I can.

Thank you!
Darlene in Massachusetts

HI Marshall,` A quick note to let you know that Jeff did a great job. There were moments that were difficult, and he handled the situations well. We so often get complaints, and not enough praise. So , I am letting you know your driver was professional and competent. The horses traveled well despite less than perfect conditions. Good luck in the future and stay well, sincerely, Julie in Florida

Marshall...
Thanks to you. Cirrus arrived yesterday evening from Maine...in great shape other than a runny left eye. The driver was a pleasure to work with...an excellent horseperson, and a great human being. I could tell he was proud of his rig...and he should be...it was first class.
Thanks again. Sincerely, Jan .. Purcellville, VA

Please send a huge note of thanks to the driver for taking such wonderful care of my mare and foal during their long journey home. He kept wonderful communication with me throughout their trip and was extremely knowledgeable about the status of their well being throughout the entire time and relayed that information to me regularly via telephone updates. He definitely took great care of them over the course of those two days as they got off the trailer looking like they had only been around the block!

And also great note of thanks to you Marshall for having such great staff and for making the transportation-process so easy. I will definitely been using your service again, as well as referring you to my friends. Thanks again. Jo Rae

Hey Marshall,

Just wanted to say what a great guy the driver is. My hubby and I got a kick out of him. He kept me in contact with how Shamus was doing and where he was at every day, sometimes I’d talk to him twice a day. It was a long trip from California but Shamus seemed relaxed and in good shape. He settled right in nicely once here.

Thanks again for the great service!

Hi Marshall,
My POA was just delivered, and wanted to tell you and the driver thank you so much!!!! You guys are great!! And I would recommend you to everyone looking to have a horse transported. My yearling got here fast, and came off the trailer wonderful, calm, and happy. The driver took excellent care of him and is a great person, that really knows what he is doing. I really can't thank you enough. I love my new pony and without you guys we would not have been able to get him. We will be using your service again in the near future, thinking of looking for one more POA gelding, possibly from the same farm. Feel free to use my name for reference, I would be glad to tell anyone how great of a job you guys did for us!!! Thanks a million!!
Denise from Ohio

Pure Pleasure Horse Transport is great...very professional! I will use you again in the future and tell others as well!! Shellie in California

I just wanted to send a note of thanks to all of you who helped in the moving of our beloved horse. Your assistance and patience in preparing the paper work was greatly appreciated. Even though we had to ask multiple times and in multiple formats to complete the process, each call was answered with the utmost kindness and professionalism. Thanks to Marshall for understanding how technology isn't always a man's best friend.

I would like to extend a special word of gratitude to the driver. He was so very friendly and answered all of my calls, even though they became a bit lengthy and numerous. He showed a high level of compassion to the horse and displayed his keen understanding of horses and their needs. Further, he understood my need to call and check on her and the progress they were making. He was very friendly and a joy to talk to. He calmed all my fears of how my Baby was doing and went on to compliment her sweet nature. Thanks so much for your kindness!

I will definitely be recommending you to all the people I ever meet who might be in need of transportation. I will especially recommend Jeff as a highly qualified and compassionate driver. Thanks for making this difficult experience such a wonderful one!

Sincerely and with eternal gratitude,
Christine

Marshall,
Everything went very, very well. The horse arrived calm and relaxed, well fed and well hydrated. The driver did a great job. He seemed to really take a liking to the horse he brought for me. It was gratifying to know that he appreciated the animal and took such care with him. I told him that on the day the horse arrived I finally heard back from one of the other haulers that I had contacted. I told them they were several days late and wanted nearly twice the price.
Thanks for everything... Jean in Colorado

HI MARSHALL
I WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE DRIVER FOR GETTING THIS DONE SO QUICK, THE DRIVER WAS GREAT. IT WAS SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO CALL AT ANYTIME AND MAKE SURE THE TRIP WAS GOING OK. JEFF GETS A TRIPLE A PLUS!!!
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY TO ANYONE. OH BY THE WAY HORSE IS DOING GREAT.
THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING...
MONIKA AND FAMILY in MISSISSIPPI

Marshall,
I just wanted to write a short note to say thank you for providing a great shipping experience. This was the first time I needed to transport a horse long distance, and I'm glad I chose your company. The driver hauled my gelding from PA to SC with absolutely no troubles. He was always polite, always kept me informed of his progress and was patient and kind with my horse. He never seemed in a hurry and had the horse's best interest in mind. I would be happy to recommend your business to anyone who needs to ship
their horse.
Thanks again,

Hi Marshall,
I thought you might like a photo of Duke and my daughter Devin during their first lesson. You brought my daughter the most wonderful gift Sunday 12/11/05. She is not likely to ever forget it.
Thanks again,

Val

Marshall,
The driver arrived here at 6am this morning. Everyone was safe and sound....The driver was just great, keeping in contact with us, at our request, throughout the night. I can't thank you enough.
I would highly recommend you to anyone that needs shipping. Please feel free to use me as a reference.
Thank you again and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Sharon in Pennsylvania

Hi Marshall,
I have to tell you that the driver is the greatest hauler in the entire universe! He called me sometimes twice a day. He went the extra mile, providing Duke with a stall for a night in Watsonville that occurred unexpectedly.
Thanks for making this so easy for me. My daughter is over the moon in love with Duke, aka "Limmo" and it was difficult getting her to school this morning.
I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who needs a horse shipped!
Thanks so much!
Val in California

The driver delivered the filly this morning around 9am. She arrived looking great. The driver was wonderful with her, very patient (considering she's never trailered before). He took the time to look her over once she was out of the trailer to make sure she hadn't hurt herself getting out. Said she was eating and drinking just fine the whole trip. No problems at all.

I really appreciate you (and the driver) transporting my filly, especially on short notice. You guys are really great, and thanks a lot!

Just wanted to say what a great job the driver did despite mechanical problems. He took great care of Chloe and kept me informed the entire time. Please tell him thanks

Hello Marshall,                                       

Our new horse, "Cody" arrived here this evening. I have never used a horse transport company before. So, I was a bit nervous about how to select somebody to haul a young horse 1,000 miles, from Vermont to Illinois. I didn't want this youngster to be on a trailer for an extended period of time. And like most people, I was on a budget. Pure Pleasure Horse Transport was definitely the answer. We lucked out with a direct drive from VT to IL and your price was competitive. Best of all the driver is absolutely wonderful. Both the seller in VT and I could tell that the driver cares about the horses. "Cody" arrived this evening and at 17 months of age, came off of the trailer as if he simply had been on a trip around the block. He showed no signs of stress, whatsoever.
I will definitely use your company again in the future and I will recommend your company to anybody who needs a horse shipped.

Cody has settled into his new home.

Thank-you!! Ann in Illinois

Hi Marshall
Just wanted to say thank you. You did a great job . I would recommend you to anyone, the horse arrived very happy and content. Tell the driver he did a great job.
Kathy in VT

Not that we care any less when our horses are shipped out, but understandably, it seems more critical when on the receiving end. The driver kept in constant touch calling at least once sometimes twice a day. With a 2000+ mile trip and 90+ temperatures, we had a lot to be concerned about. It seems that the driver treated Glory with great care and we truly respect and appreciate that. Hell ! Even the seller complimented to us, what a fine shipper we picked. You've seemed to have taken care in picking your drivers and it is going to pay high dividends.

We received our mare in fine shape. We will certainly use you again and would be glad to refer Pure Pleasure Horse Transport to all of our clients and friends.

Gary S. in Missouri

Marshall,

Just a few days ago my husband and I hired your company to haul my Gypsy mare (Due to foal in a month or month and 1/2) around 1,000 miles to our home. We just wanted to say that we felt like our mare was very well taken care of had sufficient food and fresh water at all times and was in top shape when she arrived.

The driver called me and kept me informed as to how she was doing. This was very important to us because of her condition.

We were so pleased with the care given to her on this trip that we wanted to recommend you to others that need their horses transported places here in the USA and abroad. I know they will be well satisfied customers like us

.

Thank you for getting her here in good shape and safe and sound.

Sincerely, Jim & Cindy in Virginia

Marshall,

I just wanted to say "thank you" for transporting my Percheron gelding "Tank" from Iowa to Florida. The driver stayed in touch with me during the trip which made the waiting a little easier. The equipment was clean and comfortable for the horse which made for ease of traveling for "Tank." I would certainly recommend Pure Pleasure Horse Transport to anyone looking to transport their horses.

Thank you again!!!!

Jackie

From Marshall:  Tank got to spend the night with us here at our farm before making his final journey to Florida.  He is a 17.2 Percheron gelding.  Just a big puppy dog.

Thanks Marshall, it was a "Pleasure."

Tonia

I wanted to pass along my thanks and gratitude to the both of you and your driver. The horses arrived safely and I couldn’t have been more pleased with your services. The driver kept in contact with me and took great care of the horses. He was polite, very personably and helpful during delivery. I will definitely use your services again and will recommend you to horse buyers who need shipping.

Thanks again!

Hi there!

John Boy arrived in Maine this morning in wonderful shape, after a couple days on the road from Arkansas. He stepped off the van acting like he came from the next town over instead of almost 1600 miles! Big thanks to your driver, who clearly knows and cares about his equine passengers and can really maneuver that big ol' van. I couldn't be more pleased with your outfit, from start to finish. Everyone involved (the seller, and the stable manager here in Maine) give PPH highest marks.

Thanks,

Laurel M.

Hi Marshall!

Sorry it took me this long to write. My girls got home in perfect shape, I can't thank you and The driver enough for the great care they got.  My two very in foal shire mares had a true stress free ride, all 1000 miles seemed like nothing with a whole trailer for them, perfect beds and constant care. It was a huge adventure for them since they were going from Nebraska to Mexico City, and you certainly made the difference for them!

The driver put up with all my calls and was nothing but kind and understanding. I will certainly contact you guys again!

This is " Marty " A beautiful Oldenberg Gelding...
Marty traveled with us from Vermont to Colorado and was a guest at our farm for two days while waiting on his owner to arrive in Colorado... He was a very well mannered boarder.

Hi Marshall,

Our Mare is wonderful!! She is glad to be off the trailer and on solid ground. We're all getting use to each other. The driver was a really nice guy. He was genuinely concerned about her and the length of time she was on the trailer. If we move this summer to K.C., Mo. we will be calling for you guys to do our transporting. We have 3 shires all together, So we will be in touch. Thanks for everything! Angie

Thanks for your excellent care of my filly, Jamaica. I was impressed with the driver as you could readily see that he cared about Jamaica and her welfare came first. She arrived in excellent shape. It is nice to have someone who cares about horses transport your horse. Also, the driver is a down to earth, sociable and likable and we visited like we had always known each other. I will recommend you to those I come in contact with and you can be sure I will use your transportation to haul any of my horses that I need transported in the future. Thanks again. Marcus

Hi Marshall
I have to tell you i was more than impressed with how you run your business. You were there for me when i needed you to get my colt and you guys even waited around on the coggins. He arrived to me in excellent physical and mental shape and i am so happy with him. I am impressed with your driver The driver and would like to thank him for taking such good care of him and keeping the trailer so clean, and also for making sure he had fresh water and hay. The trailer was very nice and the boxstall was perfect. I have also never had a shipping company call me 2 x a day to give me an update and i have to tell you that was very refreshing knowing where my little guy was. I will definitely be passing your phone # on to others.

Hi Marshall and The driver

I just wanted to thank ya'll for everything. Ya'll were great to conduct business with but more then that ya'll are wonderful people. The driver was great with Caballo, though Caballo was suppose to have been weaned before the pickup he was not so right off the Dam onto the trailer he goes just to travel over 1000 miles, talk about stress. The driver did a great job and Caballo arrived home in great shape.
Again I just wanted to thank you.
Susan / Chesapeake, VA

Marshall,

Thank you so much! I believe the gentleman that delivered the horses was The driver...if I am mistaken about the name I am sorry.. and he did an awesome job! His patience and kindness to the girls was evident the minute they popped out of the trailer happy and wanting to play. Thank you so much again!

Snippet is an 8 mo old Palomino colt was with us from MO to FL - is pictured here with his new family who are enjoying him immensely.

Hi, I just want to thank you for delivering my new horse to me in excellent condition. I was very happy with your services. The driver was great, I do believe he went beyond his job to make sure that all went smooth for us. Faith arrived earlier than expected and in great shape. I can't thank you enough, I am extremely happy to have my new horse home and your company made her trip long trip from Kansas to California comfortable and easy all around for her as well as us. Thank you so much.   Brenda C

Hi Marshall, 

Very professional operation you have there! The driver was a really nice guy and the horse arrived safe & sound.

Thanks, Stacey W.

I just wanted to thank you for having The driver bring my beautiful new mare from VA to SD in wonderful condition ! She wasn't remotely stressed from the long trip and I am certain it is because of The driver's TLC.  I really enjoyed working with him and your very professional operation. I got exactly what I was paying for - a transporter that was not as focused on getting my horse there "fast or cheap" but instead focused on her comfort, her legs and her general health. After paying for a good horse I don't know why anyone would risk not paying for a transporter that is concerned about taking care of the horse's health above all else. These people know horses and they know how to get them where they are going in good condition. I would recommend them to anyone and when I need to do this again I won't look anywhere else.
Many Thanks, Amy & Lacy :)
