Second Wind Stable is a concierge-style equine transportation specializing in door-to-door services, and private or semi-private hauls. I focus on your horse and not filling large loads. Our specialties are imports from JFK, and Newburgh, planned and emergent runs to and from veterinary clinics and hospitals (most commonly Cornell, Rood and Riddle Saratoga and New Bolton Center and our local clinics).

My experience includes a lifetime of having personal horses and owning and operating an 18 stall boarding facility until the transportation business grew and my focus changed to being on the road.. Also, I have 20+ years experience operating larger vehicles in the EMS and Fire service.

We provide our equine passengers travel in our beautiful, well maintained equipment. The trailer is a ramp load and also offers a front, forward ramp offload. We communicate with our clients including pictures, updates and ETAs throughout the trip. We can offer straight or a box stall depending on your needs. Depending on length of trip and horse needs, we have multiple options for layover barns to break up a long haul; however, our primary focus are trips within an 8 to 10 hour radius from the Rochester, NY area. All passengers are provided with unlimited hay and water that we provide unless there are specific needs discussed prior to the trip.

New clients scheduling non-emergent trips are required to pay a 20% non-refundable deposit.
Forms of payment include ACH transfer and Credit cards 3% fee added) through our quickbooks portal or cash, check, venmo and zelle.

Let's chat about horse transport. I get asked if I am a legit hauler because I charge a deposit for "most" trips. I say "most" because, emergency runs, I don't. For some of my very regular clients, I don't. My business, my rules! However, the reason I charge a deposit is because I block my time to dedicate to your job. I set up the trailer specific to your horse (box or straight), special hay if needed, I have to pay my "pit crew" at home to care for my personal horses while I am away. BUT, the biggest reason is because if other clients are part of your run, your cost is less and if someone backs out at the last minute, it shifts prices and often I end up eating that cost or I have another client that suddenly has to come up with more than they budgeted for. Running these trucks and trailers for a living is very different that having your own trailer for the occasional show or clinic or vet visit. We have to maintain commercial insurance (it's expensive and difficult to get), we have to maintain logs and paperwork for DOT, we are on the road A LOT, so there are oil changes every couple weeks, tires every couple months and, let's be real, horses are tough on things. We are often repairing or replacing hay nets, pads in the trailer, chest bars, butt bars, etc.
I am always happy to share names of clients for references. I take a lot of pride in caring for your horse and my equipment. All of it is important and expensive!
If there are other questions or you want to discuss other things pertaining to transport, let me know!
