Re: warning ...bogus horse transport co.

I just hate to not hear both sides of the story...
And I hate slamming.
Blue Ribbon Horse Transport picked up my weanling last fall when no one else
would.  They were extremely nice and absolutely first class.  I could not
see how they could afford to run such a rig (only carries 4) and not loose
money.  They were also extremely expensive, but it was unlike any other
transport I have seen.  The horses have their own 8 x 8 stalls!
The drivers said they were the best to work with.
I don't know if they are now going under or what, but unsolisted slamming is
not cool on ridecamp (didn't we just go through this...another disgruntled
employer?)
I'm sorry, but not getting paid is not reason to ban the transport from
states.
Maybe there is more to the story.
