Airport Horse Transport in Puerto Rico
Professional horse pickup and delivery from every major Puerto Rico airport — from San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International to regional airfields on the west and south coasts. We handle the cargo handover and safely transport your horse to any destination on the island.
Flying a horse to or from Puerto Rico?
Shipping a horse by air to Puerto Rico is one of the most common ways buyers on the US mainland bring horses into the island — and shipping a horse off the island follows the same process in reverse. Once the horse arrives at the destination airport, it needs a local ground transport provider to handle the cargo pickup and deliver the horse to its final destination.
That's where we come in. Barefoot Riding PR provides professional horse transport from all four Puerto Rico airports capable of handling equine cargo. We coordinate with cargo handlers, manage the handover, and transport your horse safely to any farm, ranch, boarding facility, or event venue on the island.
