This could have been a real disaster, and set back a lot of my clients' moving plans!

But thankfully, the superb construction of the 4Star trailer held up to the whole weight of this tree that came down on it after the last big storm. The wood actually had a big dent in it where it rested on the corner of the roof, but there wasn't a single scratch on the trailer!

Thanks for making such a quality product, 4Star. My faith in my equipment has been strengthened, if that was even possible.

Hi everyone! We have a trip planned to the Milton, ON area at the end of this month and have room on the return portion to the Ottawa area.

Please pass it on and give us a call at 613-407-4452 if this helps with your moving plans. 😊

We're also doing a trip to St Hy, QC this coming weekend and have a box stall available between July 22-24, with the date still flexible.

Thanks! And enjoy the great haying weather that's finally arriving. 😉😊

Our hearts go out to all the people devastated by the floods this spring, and especially now in Eastern Ontario and Quebec.

With many of our clients on the eastern side of Ottawa and Gatineau areas where the worst damage is hitting, we want to offer what we can to help you through this.

If your horses are in danger or distress in the flooded areas, please call us. We'll do what we can to move your horses to safe, pre-determined spots. When you're losing your homes and farms, the safety and cost of moving your horses should not be weighing you down.

Take care everyone.

Happy Easter everyone, and especially all of our very loyal clients!

We are planning a trip to the Richmond Hill area at the end of April, 2017. If you have anyone needing a trip coming or going from the Ottawa area, please give us a call at 613-407-4452. We have one box stall open going west and two coming back. 😊. All the best, Sue

Weather permitting, we'll be headed to the GTA next weekend, Nov 25-27th and have one box stall available each way. :-)

Oh my heavens...the 25th! We know what that means....four weeks to find that perfect pony for your favourite niece, nephew, grandchild...oh heck, spoil yourself this Christmas. 😊😊😊

Hi everyone! Sadly I've discovered that some messages that clients have sent have been disappearing into a separate 'other' folder and have randomly popped up weeks, months, even years later.

It upsets me to no end to have new clients think I am ignoring them.

Please spread the word, and if anyone doesn't get a reply fairly quickly, please call or text me at 613-407-4452.

Thanks for everyone's ongoing support and faith in our care of your babies. All the best, Sue

A number of our clients have asked why we are named Helios. Being a visual artist as well as loving my transport business undoubtedly may have contributed to the reason sounding airy-fairy, but here's the background. :-)

Years ago I fell in love with driving my horses, especially the sport of Combined Driving, much moreso than riding. When searching for a name for our new little farm in Merrickville, we came across the story of the Greek God of Light, Helios, who drove a chariot with three horses (or four, depending on the source) across the sky, bringing the sun and light to the earth.

I hoped my art would bring brightness to peoples' lives, and the three horses in my barn fulfilled the rest of the image. (See, I warned you it would be flakey!)

We carried the name forward to our Horse Transport business, hence the flames incorporated with the horse's head for the logo. And no, to answer a few people, it wasn't meant to indicate that we drove like stink. ;-)

So there you have it, the rest of the story. :-)

On our way to Bolton, ON, north of Toronto tomorrow morning. If there are any last minute needs to go in either direction from the Ottawa area, please send a text to 613-407-4452. :-). It has been one of our busiest routes lately!

We've had the opportunity to give some private loading and trailering lessons for our clients recently.

Some are lucky enough to have gotten their own trailers, but are a bit intimidated by how much they have to learn about the whole process. Others are keen to learn how to load their ponies quietly and consistently.

Like everything to do with horses, there's a lot to learn to stay safe with both horses and humans. Discovering that there is a handy gadget to help change a trailer tire with a horse on board is one of those things that is better figured out sooner than later (in the dark on a busy road....horrors!!)

Or perhaps you have a reluctant loader, and your stress level rises as the moving date for a show or vet visit gets closer. We are happy to provide practice sessions at your convenience, either as a private session, or a clinic for a group at your barn.

If you're interested in brushing up on any of these skills, please give us a call/text at 613-407-4452, or send us a message here or via email, [email protected]

We promise to make loading and trailering a much more relaxed and safer event for you and your horse(s).

All the best,
Rob and Sue

We will be making several trips from the Ottawa area to Milton (May 6) and then King City, NW of Toronto later in May. If anyone is interested in a trip in either direction, please give us a call/text at 613-407-4452 or send a message here.

A full trailer is a happy trailer (and more economical!)
