WHAT WE DO

Interstate Horse Transport

Goldners specialises in direct, overnight, interstate services. We connect Gold Coast, Sydney, Scone, Melbourne and Adelaide 2-5 times per week.

In order to ensure that your horse travels as smoothly as possible, Goldners takes the most direct routing possible. We recognise that the longer horses are on a truck, the more disruptive travel can be. We schedule transport with this in mind to benefit you and your horse.

On longer journeys, horses are rested at least every twelve hours, and receive feed and water at our stabling complexes.
