Transportation Services

Three core services. One trusted team.

Most jobs we handle fall into one of three buckets. Each one is priced individually based on distance, timing, and any special handling needs — but here's what each service typically includes.

Service 01

Airport Horse Pickup

The full white-glove airport transport — we coordinate directly with the cargo handler at SJU, BQN, MAZ, or PSE, receive your horse at the cargo terminal, walk them off the jet stall, complete customs and health-paper verification, and load directly into our trailer for delivery to your final destination.

  • Cargo facility pickup at all 4 PR airports
  • Health certificate & import paperwork check
  • Post-flight hydration & rest stop
  • Final-mile delivery anywhere on the island

Service 02

Farm & Ranch Transfers

Local horse hauling between farms, ranches, veterinary clinics, and boarding facilities — the everyday work of moving a horse from point A to point B across Puerto Rico. Most transfers within the northwest region finish inside 90 minutes; longer hauls to the metro, south, or east coast are scheduled in advance.

  • New purchase delivery to your property
  • Boarding facility changes
  • Vet clinic & farrier visit runs
  • Retirement & rescue relocations

Quote turnaround: 24 hours or less.

Service 03

Event & Show Transport

Transport to Paso Fino competitions, equestrian events, photoshoots, and scheduled trail rides across Puerto Rico. We do same-day round trips for local events and multi-day logistics for bigger shows, including layover care and return-trip coordination so your horse arrives ready and comes home safe.

  • Paso Fino shows & competitions
  • Editorial & client photoshoots
  • Fiestas patronales & parades
  • Trail ride group logistics

Book 1–2 weeks out for show dates.

Transport Pricing

What affects your horse transport quote?

Every horse transport job in Puerto Rico is quoted individually because distance, timing, and horse-specific needs all matter. Here are the factors that go into a typical quote so you know what to expect.

Distance & Route

Short runs around the northwest (Isabela, Aguadilla, Rincón, Aguada) are our most affordable. Longer hauls to San Juan, Ponce, or the east coast involve highway time and are priced accordingly.

Number of Horses

Single horse transfers are our standard. Multi-horse hauls to the same destination are quoted at a reduced per-horse rate since we're already on the road.

Timing & Urgency

Standard scheduling with a few days' notice gets the best rate. Rush jobs, weekend pickups, or airport cargo that needs immediate retrieval are priced with a small premium.

Horse-Specific Needs

First-time travelers, horses that need extra loading patience, or horses with special requirements (bandaging, shipping boots, medications) may require additional handling time.
