I am taking horses from Seattle to Nashville and would like any info on good or horse motels to avoid between here to there. Going from WA-ID-UT-WY-NE-MO-TN.

A lot of the Rodeo folks put their horses up at the Legacy Center in Farmington Utah (20 miles north of Salt Lake) as they work the rodeo circuit. It's right on I-15
It's a fairground, lots of stalls and arenas. I think it's $10.00 a night
I've also used the Fairgrounds in Laramie Wyoming. Again right along side the I-80 freeway.
Both of these are public facilities, So they probably don't get the cleaning attention that some private Horse motels get. But they usually have 100-200 stalls so you can find one that is clean.
I used them when I moved my horses from CA to TN in 2003. Every stop treated my back yard trail horses like they'd just won the Rolex. Great great folks out across this United States and the care and concern of the horse folks is right at the top
Something else to consider if you haven't already:
They are the AAA of the horse world only better. If you break down, they will not only find a place to do the repairs but they bring water for your horses OR will carry your horses to a place of safety until you can pick them up.
Best $198 I spend every year. That price gets me, hubby, both our trucks, the horse trailer, and the race car trailer fully covered better than Triple A could ever think of covering us Or it's $119/yr for one person.

I can recommend the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in North Platte, NE (308-520-3073) and DC Stables in Lexington, NE (308-324-6303). Here are links to some resources.

Another resource I use is County Sheriff Department in the county you want to stay. They have even got me into locked facilities late at night.
