Per MG Horse Transport: founded by Mervin Glick in 2014. Located in Trenton, Kentucky. Per the company: experience and reputation to safely transport horses "whether it's to a show next door or all the way across country."
Per Mervin's posture: "Horses and horse transportation are Mervin's passion and it shows. It would be hard for any transportation company to have more 5-Star reviews than come in regularly for MG Horse Transport." Goal: provide a more personalized experience for horses + clients, with the most luxurious ride in the latest custom-built equipment possible.
Per MG Horse Transport: from the instant the truck arrives, every detail of the transport experience is attended to. The process:
Per MG Horse Transport: yes — every trip is monitored live in the truck via full-color cameras in the trailer. Per the company: "It provides the opportunity to ensure the complete well-being and safety of each horse during the entirety of the trip."
Real-time camera monitoring lets the driver respond immediately to any concerning behavior — vs. transport companies that rely only on periodic stops for visual checks.
Per MG Horse Transport: absolutely. Per the company: "It is not enough to merely make sure your horse is eating, drinking and moving normally — our professionals are trained experts recognizing not only obvious needs for veterinary care but also indicators of stress, dehydration, colic, and other potential transport-related issues."
Per the company posture: trained-expert observation is the differentiator vs. drivers who treat horses as cargo rather than as living animals with stress responses.
Per MG Horse Transport: yes, absolutely. Per the company: "We will speak with you directly for all necessary details on your horse! Whether it's a million-dollar show or racehorse or a priceless family pet — every single horse is different."
The team likes to discuss each horse's needs directly with the client so they can:
Three voices from the source on long-haul trips:
Mike Hartong (VT to KY, ~1000 miles): "Mervin is pleasant, professional, experienced, and reliable. Our horses traveled from VT to KY and arrived in excellent shape and as though they had only been on a 100 mile rather than a 1000 mile trip!"
Ashley Block (Utah to Maryland, first-time transport): "This was our first horse transport so we had no idea of what to expect. Mervin was very responsive to all of my questions. His team seemed compassionate and caring toward the horses. We received daily texts and photos as our horse traveled from Utah to Maryland. He arrived earlier than expected and kept us informed the whole way... his prices were very competitive. Both barns (pick up and drop off) are experienced and were very impressed with MG."
Alicia Roberts (PA to FL, 3 horses): "The communication was great from start to finish. Pick up was able to be ahead of original schedule. No long unknown wait time with MG unlike some other big-named haulers. I got updates on my horses as they made the trip and they arrived happy and healthy to our new home."
Three more voices from the source on demanding-buyer use:
Laura Grahl: "WOW! Cannot say enough about them! My horse arrived in great spirits, their truck and trailer immaculate, and he got there faster than even expected! Every bit of the process was stress-free and easy, and even in the uncertainty of these days and travel! I will never use any other service for hauling!"
Tara Barksdale, Northern Lights Ranch (breeding facility, primary hauler): "MG is our primary go-to for hauling... they have hauled our horses coast to coast, stallions, mares, mares/foals, weanlings. They follow what we ask and know we require only clean loads arriving here at our breeding facility. They are legal haulers and horsemen. We use them whenever possible. I have kicked a lot of haulers right off my property and am VERY particular about who hauls in and out of here. MG is our go to."
Candi Johnson (filly transport): "The best experience I could have asked for! All questions answered and great communication. My filly arrived in outstanding condition. Professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high quality safe transport for their horse."
Per MG Horse Transport: "Every horse owner knows that horses know when they are being treated well — even pampered. MG Horse Transport wants to make your horse's time in transportation as luxuriously comfortable as possible, so that he or she arrives, happy, well and ready to enjoy life."
Per the company on pricing: "Our pricing is reasonable for the outstanding service we offer."
