I contracted with Zeigler livestock transport in Britt Iowa to haul a mare to Tularosa NM in early Feb they were 4 days late picking her up, kept her on the trailer for 3 days without unloading her, poor feed and little water. The quoted price was $640.00, when I got the contract they wrote in $680.00, I paid it as it was too late to find another hauler as this mare was only a couple of weeks away from foaling. The mare was picked up in Iowa on Sunday Feb. 28th and delivered the evening of March 3rd. He was abusive to the mare in unloading, shouting profanity, after she was unloaded he wanted to clean out 3 days of manure in my front yard and I asked him not to, He then started yelling more profanity and said he was going to charge me $100.00 more, I asked him to leave and he started threatening me, I had to call 911 and have the Sheriff come to take care of the situation, they did and He has since attempted to charge more money on my credit card. I would highly recommend Anyone using this service to investigate it before contracting with this company, which I failed to do.in summation in my view this company is very unprofessional, dishonest and should not be in the business of transporting horses.
