Welcome to 4 Rail Horse Transport
Reliable, Safe Transporting for Your Equine Friend


Paul,
     I apologize for this being way overdo, but I again just wanted to thank you for taking such great care of my horse Destiny.  I was really nervous about having a person I had never met take my horse across country, but you really gave me no reason to worry. And I appreciate you not getting upset when I called everyday.  Please feel free to use my name and number as a reference, I would be glad to talk to your potential new customers.  If I ever move her again, I will certainlly call you.  I was just amazed at how perfect she looked and acted when she got here.  I really can't thank you enough for taking such excellent care of my baby girl.  Thanks again!  :)

Dear Paul,
 
Sorry it has taken me this long to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for the wonderful service we received in transporting our horse from Washington to Ohio.  You know we had a horrible experience before with our other horse so were very  relieved to have things go so smoothly this time.  We were also very happy with the fair price you charged for MUCH better service that we received from Grand Champion Transport.
 
Commanche arrived in good shape and much quicker.  We appreciated the easy contact with you and the updates on his condition.  We're thankful he was let out of the trailer each night and got to stretch his legs.  It was nice to have a smaller transport trailer.  It was also great that we had a company that didn't cart him all over the country to pick up other horses.
 
We would highly recommend your services to anyone who wants to have a horse transported!!!
 
Thanks again!

Hi Paul,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for hauling our senior gelding home. (Florida to Utah) You took such great care of ! He actually arrived looking better than he had when he left. I know this was a hard trip for you both. I really appreciate your efforts to keep him as comfortable as possible while in your hands. I wish you would have accepted some reimbursement for the bute you gave him to be comfortable with his arthritis during the trip. You showed how much you really do care for these animals. I definetly recommend you to anyone who needs a horse transported. You were always in touch, and let me know what was going on. I knew you would be great from the first call we had. I am SO glad I went with you. I could'nt have asked for a better hauler! Thank You so much, Elisa                                    2/16/09


Paul,

 Thank you for all your help during the recent wildfires here in San Diego.  Paul came in from Arizona to assist us, San Diego was not even on his route this trip.  He had hauled a horse for my trainer Mikey Harchol a few months ago and contacted her to offer his assistance when he heard of the fires. Paul not sure if you knew, but 4 Rail Transport was the only hauler mentioned on our local news as donating his time and rig to haul horses out of dangerous areas to safety. 

Paul spent several days with us to assist us in the evacuations.  Paul kept up everyone's moral up with his incredible stories. Thanks Paul for rescuing the horses in Valley Center and other areas!   Paul even made one trip to rescue a cat out of an evacuation area.

I cannot speak highly enough of this individual and his dedication to horses and people.  If I ever need to transport a horse again, I would not hesitate to use Paul's services.

Dear Paul -
My family and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us evacuate our horses and taking them to a safe place.  How incredibly generous and kind to volunteer to help during the so. California fires.  How fortunate for us when you arrived at our home.  You are a gift to us and to others.  Hope to cross paths again someday on better circumstances. Again, thank you, thank you for all you have done - we all are doing great - including horses and dogs!  XOXO Jody, Steve, MaKayla and Mariah Markey from Valley Center, California
 
 
 
 
         Count me as a referrel for Paul. He hauls the way we would if we could.  Paul stayed for a day and a half with us, with horses from all over and Florida.  They looked great, and reloaded happily.  That tells a lot about the hauler.  I will use Paul again without question.  He is a really nice, respectful guy and really funny to talk to.  Thanks for a great job.  You affirm the belief that there are really good people out there.

Dear Paul,

Thanks for doing such a great job shipping 2 of my horses to their new buyer.  It was a long trip – from Michigan to Las Vegas which isn’t easy when one of the horses had special needs which you accommodated wonderfully and without a fuss.  The layovers you do on a long trip are so beneficial to the horses so they can rest and arrive in good shape at their final destination and quite frankly surprised me as you don’t hear of it often with horse transport companies.  And I liked your rig – nice and new and tall to accommodate the 17h horse without a problem.

Thanks also for keeping in contact with me both before and after the pick-up so I could rest easy that the horses well being well cared for.  And thanks for not getting annoyed and always sounding cheerful when I called you incessantly and way too much to check on the horses during shipping!

Feel free to pass my phone number along to anybody who is looking for a reference on your wonderful service.  I would not hesitate to use your great service again.

Sincerely,

Vida Svabas

Hello Paul -
I just wanted to thank you once again, for all you have done to help us out!
You have undoubtedly gone "above and beyond" in many ways, and it is so
appreciated.  Not only caringly and carefully hauling my 5 yearlings across
the country once in the dead of winter and through some bad weather, to a
new home that unfortunately turned out to be a disastrous mistake.  But then
also helping me recover them so we could get them quickly moved to safety
another state over, with a great couple you recommended that could care for
them while we re-grouped and figured out what to do next.  And if that
wasn't enough, you hauled one of them again to a new buyer a few states
away, and now in the sweltering summer heat, you have returned my last 2
stud colts home, another 2000 miles, safe and sound, happy and healthy and
looking great. 

My young horses have been very well traveled and cared for in your capable
hands and top notch rig!  They thank you, as do we, for all your help over
the bumpy course we all traveled with this little "learning experience" -
that thanks in great part to you, turned out much better than it might have
otherwise.  I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone, and
in fact continue to, and will many times more in the future, I am sure.  You
have been a life saver, thanks again for everything!

Hi Paul –
it was a real pleasure to finally meet you personally here in North Dakota after entrusting you with my special friend to be transported by you “sight unseen” from California.
After traveling over two-thousand miles during the intense summer heat, my travel inexperienced, 90 days pregnant APHA mare came off your trailer just as if hauled only for a few hours; in excellent condition & spirit, still pregnant, happy & content.
As a former breeder, trainer & exhibitor of AQHA/APHA show horses with multiple World & Res. World Champions, State & High Point Champions, shipping broodmares nationwide to be bred to the leading stallions, I must say that your services topped all the rest. Your professionalism as a horseman and driver combined is the “stuff it takes” to be good at what you do – always friendly, with excellent communications and care for your entrusted horses during the long, long trip.
Thank you so much – you are the “bestest” and will have my recommendations any day!  Angie King, ACCS Impressive Quarter Horses

 
Dear Paul,
 
In my wildest dreams I never imagined that transporting my mare from California to Minnesota would go so smoothly.  I am ever so grateful for your expert handling of  Khartoum  AKA "Queen Kong".  You are a skilled horseman and expertly handled a nervous 17.3 Holsteiner with little trailer experience.  She arrived in Bemidji, MN healthy, happy and relaxed. 
 
Your years of experience has found just the right balance of covering the miles and allowing the horse to rest, relax and rehydrate.  I really appreciated your constant contact during the trip.  You are fun to talk to and kept me informed every step of the way. 
 
Thank you for being such a great person.  By the way it looks like the nickname "Queen Kong"  may be around for a while.  
 
If you ever need a reference please don't hesitate to contact me.

Paul Lynch of 4 rail transport delivered my weanling filly to me in perfect condition. I was worried about her 1500 mile trip by an unknown carrier but put my faith in him anyway. When Mr. Lynch arrived and my filly got off the trailer I was amazed at how good she looked. He earned my loyalty from here on out. I will certainly use him in the future

Hi Paul, 

Here is the wonderful man who transported our baby when he was just six days old!

I also attached them!

 Quote from Kim Dilworth, Camel Owner. “When we heard baby Moses was coming to live on our farm we need someone to transport him who was not only very reliable but also who could bottle feed and love our camel along the long road trip. He was just six days old and could not nurse from his Mom so he was weaker than most new babies and needed special attention. Paul took such good care of him by giving him his bottle every three hours and also by calling us and letting us know he was eating and seemed to be doing very well during the stressful trip. We appreciate Paul and his traveling caravan for animals of all kinds!”

 Thank you for helping us Paul! We look forward to seeing you again.

 Paul,  this is Aimee Gilmore, you hauled my new geldng, Eye Glass Special , aka Oz from Minnesota to Florida.

He arrived in great condition and settled right in.
Thank you for taking such great care of him for me.I have recommended you to numerous people already and will continue to do so in a heartbeat.
I will contact you if I ever purchase another out of state horse,which is more than likely.
Oz is adjusted great, has been freeze branded,microchipped and is shedding in buckets to a beautiful red..just a great gelding.
Thank you again!!

Dear Paul,   

       Just wanted to say thank you again for bringing “Gunner”  home for me,  I was very apprehensive having him hauled to Vermont from Texas by a complete stranger!!!  but it made me feel better knowing I could call you anytime for a progress report. Even the couple of times I  had to leave a message, you called me right back.

Gunner looked great after his long trip, I was also impressed with how relaxed the other two horses you were transporting looked, when you got to my place.

It was very obvious to me that the horses and their well being come first with you, if ever I need transportation  in the future, you will be the first I call.

Take care,  Barbara  Watts

Paul,

Thank you ever so much for hauling my 2 mares from California to Colorado.
After our first conversation on the phone,
I had the utmost confidence in your ability to care for my horses on this
trip. They arrived in fabulous condition, it was
as if they had just traveled 40 minutes down the road! I truly believe you
have mastered the balance of getting the
miles done during the day, while providing the horses with a long enough
overnight stop so they can rest, relax, stretch
their legs and rehydrate.

I trust you 100% with my horses; not only is your truck and trailer
amaculate, you have the knowledge and experience
to ensure the well being of the horses in your care. You will be the first
person I call next time I need any of my horses
transported.

Paul I can not thank you enough - you really are a true horseman!

Kindest Regards,

Iain Holmes

 

Thank you for taking my boys (geldings) to Minnesota!  Both Tim and Grayson trusted you immediately, and seeing them at ease made me feel SO relieved.  My customer was pleased with their condition when they arrived at her farm.  The fact that your handling and care could make or break my reputation was certainly on my mind.  I am recommending 4 Rail Transport to all of my customers.

Dear Paul:

Thank you for your expert care in bringing my daughter's pony safely all the way from New Jersey to Maine in the August heat and traffic.

This is our first pony, so it was our first experience with horse transport.  You made it go very smoothly. Thanks for your patience with all my questions, for the guidance about PayPal, for the name of a reputable insurer and for the info about health certificates.  Your willingness to add us to your schedule, your comittment to keeping your word on the delivery date,and your keeping inclose contact by cellphonewere greatly appreciated. 

These days it's hard to know who to trust, so if anyone wants to hear from me about how professional and reliable 4 Rail is, have them give me a call. 

Thanks for everything!  Alison Wholey

P.S. Pirate is working out great, my daughter is practically living by his side, and we'll send photos of both soon

 

Thank you from the bottom of our heart Paul for delivering "Biscuit" to us. We were scared to death for him to be transported from Georgia to New Mexico. You put our minds at ease and delivered him happy and healthy. You have made a certain young man EXTREMELY happy. We could tell by looking at our horse what good care you took of him on this very long trip. You were always so pleasant and friendly even after a million phone calls from us during the trip. We would recommend you and your service to anyone wanting to transport a horse anywhere in the US. Thank you very much for all your kindness and generosity with us and our animal. May the Good Lord Bless you a million times over.
 
Sincerely,
The Starritt's

Dear Paul,
 
I wanted to say Thank you so much! I was impressed after our first conversation. Every time I had any questions or concerns you were always there to answer the phone. I was so impressed with your kind and savvy way with my horse. Not only did he have very little exposure to trailering, he had been traumatized less than 36 hours before from Hurricane Wilma and he loaded with comfort and ease! You took wonderful care of my baby all the way from south Florida to our new home in Arkansas. Thank you Paul. You have my full recommendation to anyone who needs their horses trailered anywhere. Take care!

Dear Mr. Lynch,

I want to thank you again for the safe delivery of my three Oberhasli goats.  They made the roughly 900 mile trip safely and with little stress, and I greatly appreciate the care you took with them.  They have settled in nicely; you would think the trip was just a walk in the park for them. 

I will be happy to recommend your service and you may use me as a reference.

I apologize for not extending any hospitality to you.  I was so excited to see my "babies".  Later it occurred to me that you might have liked a cup of coffee or a chance to use my restroom or something.  I feel like we gave you a bum's rush and I am sorry for that.

You did a good job of carrying my precious cargo all that distance!

Best wishes,

Laura Garcia

Hi Paul,

    I just wanted to thank you again for transporting my 5 year old Quarter Horse gelding from Wyoming to Vermont.  Foster arrived calm and healthy.  He was not dehydrated, and I was really impressed that he didn’t drop weight.  I was also really impressed with the way you handled him.  After getting off the trailer, he walked calmly to his stall and started eating and drinking normally.  2200 miles is a long way to transport a horse, but thanks to your care he arrived in perfect condition.  Another thing I really appreciated was the fact that you were always friendly and cheerful when I called you on the road to check up on him.  You never made me feel like I was being a nuisance!  Thank you so much for your excellent care!  My experience with you was 100% positive, and I will contact you if I ever need a horse transported in the future.
