We had Bill Meyer of Carisbrooke Farms (bill@carisbrookefarm.com) haul our 3 yr old from Maryland to NM and our weanling from Ohio to NM in December. The girls rode in a box stall trailer and were very well cared for. They walked off the trailer looking fresh as daisies and that was a very long trip. I can't recommend Bill enough if you have to trust your Friesian to be hauled across the country. Bill has Friesians and understands them. He's who we'll use if we move any of our Friesians across the country.

Subject: Re: [Friesians] Question - Horse transporter

This summer I used Bill Meyer to transport my gelding from Colorado to Pennsylvania for combined driving training, then back again two months later. Eli did great - Bill doesn't tie the horses, Eli was transported loose in a box stall.

Eli had to go to a farm in the absolute middle of nowhere in northeast Pennsylvania and Bill got him there safely. For the return trip we had a bit of a scheduling conflict and I checked with several other carriers about shipping my horse home. Bill was the only one who would go there himself, everyone else wanted to have a local hauler pick up Eli and bring him down to a bigger city, since the farm was so far upstate and imbedded in the hills, so I used him both there and back. Bill found the tiny little town of Foxburg and got my horse in and out of there himself. I was very pleased with the level of service and care he gave my horse and would definitely use him again.

I also like that Bill has Friesian horses himself. I felt comfortable with Bill and would certainly use him again. Here is his contact info:

Bill's cell is 612-750-6778

Good luck!

Re: [Friesians] Recommendations for Transport & Insurance Anyone?

Hi Leslie,

Bill Meyer of Carisbrooke Farm Friesians 612-750-6778 or 651-439-3137. He is a very reliable horse hauler. If you can't get him at one number just try the other. He hauled Liske across country, I very highly recomend him.

And I use Markel Equine Insurance

Tam,

Bill Meyers of Carisbrooke Friesians is a very reliable transporter. He is on the road right now, but if you email me privately I can give you his phone number. He owns a number of stallions himself.

I have used Bill several times myself. He was wonderful with the horses and kept in touch with us so we were always well informed as to where he was.

And to add something else: When our gelding came out of quarantine (in Feb.) there was supposed to have been a blanket with him, but if he did have one, it never made it out of quarantine with him. Bill tried very hard to shop on the road for him, but couldn't find one to fit. So......he used his own personal rugs for him. He also arrived in our area very late at night so kept him at his own house until he could deliver him the next day. All way above what he was obligated to do!!!

When he picked up the filly we had just purchased he asked us if we had seen her in person. No.......we bought her from a video.........So, he said then we wouldn't know if he swapped her out for another Friesian and kept her. He certainly helped our nervousness over our unseen purchase!

ROFL .. Loved that story! That is so BILL! He's a great guy! He and Vicki have the stallion I know called "Milan" .. who was in training for several years with a friend of mine here in Florida called "Doina Fischer" (andalusian/lusitano rider/trainer) .. anyhow Milan performed with us at the National Horse Show! He is a beautiful boy!

Bill or Vicki can be reached at 651-439-3197 .. and for hauling you can reach Bill at 612-750-6778 .. those were the last numbers I had for them...
