Not all horse transportation companies are created equal. MCK Truck N Train is family owned and operated for more than five years. We strive to treat every customer as a friend or neighbor and their horses as we would treat our own. We pride ourselves in offering world-class shipping with a hometown feel and treating our passengers as the most precious cargo – never a number.
When you have one, or maybe just a few, horses to ship, this is our most economical option. We create weekly routes, picking up and delivering multiple horses as we go. This allows you, and all the other customers on that load, to share in the overall cost of the trip.
MCK Truck N Train vans can be privately chartered to ship your horses on a specified date and timeframe, anywhere in the country, with no other horses on board. If your farm is attending a show, or you need to arrive on a specific day, MCKcharters may be the perfect option for you.
A Special Shipment is the same as a private charter with the exception of specified dates. Flexibility in dates allow us to keep rates considerably less than a charter shipment, while still meeting your private horse transportation requirements. Ask us about our horse training & racing service.
Low stress weekly routes for maximum comfort
MCK Truck is fully equipped with large vans and smaller horse trainers (shuttles) to transport to and from barns, layover facilities, tracks, airports, and other long or short-distance locations. All scheduled routes originate from our horse transportation companies home office Summerside PEI. We ship all across Canada.
The best care in the business
To achieve the best traveling conditions possible, we stop every 4-5 hours while on the road to check the horses. The drivers will physically get in the back to make sure everyone is handling the trip well. It is at this time that hay nets may be refilled and water buckets offered or topped off. If we noticed that a horse is not drinking as we much as we would like, electrolyte paste is administered and a close eye is kept on its condition. If a problem should occur with a horse, a vet is contacted at once. The owner is notified as soon as the horse is stabilized.
