How much to haul a horse?

We just sold a horse and the buyer wants us to haul him. How much should I charge to haul him 900 miles round-trip? Thanks in advance

Welcome to DTR, where in Cen. Tex you located? As far as charges I would say a minimum of $1 a mile.

The horse is going to Lockney (near Lubbock). Where are you in our great state?

Post it on Uship under livestock and let somebody else haul it . Almost all bids for hauling horses are under $1.50 a mile 1 way .
