How much it costs to trailer a horse from California to Colorado?

Ally: How much does it cost to have a horse trailered from California to Colorado?
My old horse trainer bought my horse off of my before I moved from San Diego to Denver. She still hasn’t paid me the money she owes me for the horse, so I’m going to take her back (it was in our contract that if at any time before I got paid I wanted the horse back, she would have to give her up without any trouble). I moved during summer, and I still don’t have my money, so I want the horse. How much would it cost to have a horse trailered from San Diego to Denver?

You can look up on line livestock haulers. I bought a horse in Calif. and had it brought to me in Wa. for about $ 400.00

But the real problem will be picking up the horse. No hauler will do it if they have to fight with who has it. You should be the one to go get it, with your contact in hand.

If /when you prove ownership:(your contract)
Will the trainer cooperate with the vet tests and the brand inspector?
I paid $ 630USD for shipping a horse for a client from Sacramento to Denver,but had all the papers: Required For Colorado:You will need these Papers:
++Brand Inspection(proof of ownership& history) $ 75.00 a MUST HAVE You get two copies, oen for your driver or agent one for you to keep.Takes a couple weeks for travel over 75 miles.
++Health Certificate ( licensed Vet)*Check expiration, $ 45-90.00
++Coggins*check expiration,There is a 24 hour test for extra costs, but not admissible in CO. $ 45.00
Vet fees and transport:~$ 750.00-800.00 Nationwide Transporters
““““““““““““““““““““““““`
You MUST have a horses “brand inspection”, which is a history of ownership in legal format. Even if you choose to drive the horse yourself, this is a huge problem: as unless you can get all the vet papers and inspection done, you won’t make it across the border to Colorado.There is a livestock inspection at all points of entry.

Remember: in most California barns, if you are delinquent in your feed and board for 90 days the horse belongs to the barn “owner”. Make sure there are no leans for damages,vet fees,worming,grain,etc before you roll.
