With the continuing fluctuation of oil prices, and thus gas prices, it is necessary to get quotes from horse transporting services at the time of wanting to ship your horse in order to be most accurate. I recommend contacting the seller if you are buying for recommendations.
And for sellers to encourage buyers to look into the matter and compare prices and services.
The following I have used to find estimates--this does not in any way serve as a recommendation
of any of them.

Sample estimate:
On 1-5-2005
To ship TWO horses (one over 5, another 2-3yo, mare and gelding) from Winnipeg, Canada to
Dallas, Texas, price quotes ranged from $1400 to $1650 for the two horses.

NOTE: This is not a recommendation of any of these services by L.Robinson, agent. This is simply provided as a very efficient way to get some transport information quickly from several
sources.

L. Robinson, agent recommends:
To discuss this matter with the seller or buyer. Sellers generally have
transport services that they have used over the years and trust. Buyers may have
their own resources too. Comparing prices can save you money, however be certain the services are ones that will care
well for your horse.
Personal recommendations that reflect recent useage are most useful generally.
