Where is this pony and where does he want to go?
I don't know where he wants to go, but he's gonna have a birthday before he gets there, if somebody don't load his little ass and get him to where he is going.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Christ, he could die of old age while everybody worries about all the legal liability BS. We've got guys going a lot of directions and maybe we could get him hauled, because I guarantee none of them give a rat's a$$ about the what ifs and none of us are going to let our lives be controlled by worrying about a bunch of crap like that.

Thanks for all the concern about the pony! I just got back into town from a Labor Day trip with my own horses so I have not called to check with my friend about if the pony got delivered or not. I spoke with her before my trip and she was going to try and deliver him yesterday if she could get in touch with the buyer. He was to be delivered from central GA to south GA; Savannah area. I'll check and get a status. Another friend was willing to take him on Sunday if they could arrange a delivery.

if you and your friend are close then trailer the pony if it has not been done yet. the trailer company near me charges $1.10 loaded per mile $1.00 empty true friend help each other if they can

I am on the site u-ship all the time bidding on hauling things and the way I figure my bid is by the total distance of the trip (if you don't have a back hull you would figure it for 520miles)divide it by your fuel mileage and then take how many gallons of fuel you will use and add 15 to 30 gallons extra times the price of fuel 10 to 20 cents higer than actual this gives you a little extra cash. If you have a smart phone I recomend down laoding gas budy it tells you the price of fuel in the town you select in order from lowest to highest for what ever grade you select. Just how I do it and a tool to help you figure it hope it helps you.
