I'm looking for someone to go to Indiana and bring a horse to NY?. I've never done anything like this but I'm curious to know how much it would cost to hire someone and do it vs. doing it myself.

A rough guess would be $800-$900 for that distance.

There is a website - uShip - that you can get quotes from and book shipments. Works like eBay... you put in the details and various shippers bid on the job. You can accept a bid, but are not obligated to choose a particular one (or any of them). I just booked a shipment using the site and it worked out pretty well.

I shipped my horse from Pennsylvania to South Carolina. It was around $1200 I believe. With BrookLedge Horse transport, a big semi-rig, and my horse had a box stall in the back of the rig.

I also used them to ship two horses from Ohio to PA, can't remember what I paid then, but it was reasonable.
