Just loaded up a horse that is positive 45 days in foal today and therefore ready to leave the farm and head home and it hit me… transport! Don’t think I’ve got that listed as a possible job – terrible!
If you love travelling and handling horses and like the idea of getting about the country and viewing different places, then perhaps you should consider getting into horse transport.
Granted, you’re going to need truck/semi license but that may be your only prerequisite. Take a look at http://www.transportdrivertraining.com.au/.
The transport companies I’m familiar with in Australia include:
Livestock
Goldners
Carmody’s
Victorian Horse Transport

Ask the Farrier says
I know many people here in the states who make a living in the horse transport business. It’s really rewarding and if you like driving and horses, its a natural fit!
