Q: What is Light Star’s strategy for coast-to-coast hauling, particularly regarding timelines and horse comfort?



A: Our strategy for coast-to-coast hauling focuses on direct routing with minimal stops to ensure efficiency and comfort for the horses. We utilize premium air-ride commercial tractor-trailer combinations operated by qualified driver teams. Horses have unlimited access to hay and water throughout the journey, and we provide thick, large-flake shavings to minimize dust and debris. Our team conducts hands-on care and continuous assessment of each horse, closely monitoring their condition during transport. We prioritize building strong connections with our customers to fully understand their needs and ensure a seamless experience.

Q: Should I send feed with my horse on the day of the trip?

A: Yes, you can send feed with your horse, especially if they are accustomed to concentrated feeds that include daily supplements or medications. Maintaining your horse's routine is important, and we strive to replicate their care as closely as possible during transit. We recommend reducing the rations and measuring them into individual baggies for accuracy, so drivers are not responsible for measuring. Label the baggies as AM and PM if there are separate morning and evening feedings, and ensure each bag is clearly marked with the horse's name. You can keep the baggies together in a small tub labeled with the horse's name for easy organization.
