Welcome to Carousel Trails
I’m Ian Macdonald, the Owner and Operator of Carousel Trails Equine Transport.

MC: 1605809
What can you expect?
As the owner and operator of Carousel Trails you can expect that I will pay close and personal attention as we work together every step of the way – from booking your horse’s ride, to ensuring you’ve checked all the boxes for the needed/proper travel documentation, and for whatever else may be needed to safely transport your horse to its new destination, and new owner.
Whether it’s your first time transporting a horse, or just your first time with Carousel Trails, I will let you know what to do and when to do it to ensure everything goes smoothly for you and your horse.
What I do
Horse transport across the continental United States.
My home base is in southern Arizona, and I transport horses pretty much anywhere in the continental United States.
I offer different options, all with the goal of providing you with the most economical and efficient transport for your equine friend.
Whether you have a horse going to a new home, a whole herd being relocated, or you are planning on going to a show, or any other transport need, I can help you.
How I do it
Long haul small loads coast to coast.
Horses have hay and water in front of them at all times. I stop every 3 to 4 hours to replenish hay and water and take the opportunity to provide nose rubs and some love.
I plan on covering an average of 600 miles per day and stop every night so that horses and humans get adequate rest.
What you get
Reasonable rates and great service.
You will get professional and personalized service for you and your horse.
I work hard to provide a high-quality experience at an affordable cost. I keep my rates affordable by running efficiently. I do not cut corners to make a fast buck!
Communication is very important throughout the booking process, pickup and delivery and, of course, on the road.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, you can call or text me.
