Miriam White
Owner, Operator, Equestrian
“I am fortunate enough to have the best drivers in the industry working with me. Everyone is involved in animal husbandry in some form or fashion. Being familiar with and having worked with horses and other animals is key to being a successful candidate for our company. Becoming comfortable driving rigs sometimes takes time, but we are happy to train. Everyone drives and everyone works with our animal passengers. Safety is our top priority. ”
The faces behind the wheel.
