How should I determine if my horse(s) should ship in a single stall, stall & 1/2 or box stall?
A number of factors go into the decision of what size stall to ship in. The most common accommodation is the stall & 1/2. Traditionally, average sized horses of any breed or gender can ship comfortably in that configuration. Smaller horses can and do ship in the single stall on some occasions. Certain situations, however, are not open to conjecture. Pregnant mares, mares with nursing foals, unbroken weanlings and fractious or high strung horses all need to ship in box stalls. Horses shipped in box stalls arrive fresher and are less inclined to have any health issues related to shipping. Please refer to our FYI page for additional information about the advantages of box stalls.
