RD Heartland Hauling is two close friends from Adams County, Indiana. Diego brings the horse experience, Rinor brings the driving experience. We both drive, and Diego handles the horses — and we both care about getting your horse there safely.
Fully licensed and insured, with active interstate operating authority — hauling our home region of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Illinois, with long-distance runs across the Midwest and East Coast. Book your trip and we’ll lock in your date.
“From pickup through delivery, this company was exceptionally reliable, professional, and communicative. … I would use them again without hesitation.”
“I was impressed with the quick communication provided every step along the way. … Both gentlemen were so kind and really cared for our horse.”
“They even had scheduled stables along the way to allow my horse to stretch her legs. … 10 out of 10 service.”
A lot of haulers know how to drive. Far fewer know how to load a nervous horse, read the signs of stress, or handle a layover the right way. We do both.
Diego brings years of hands-on experience hauling and handling horses, plus a real reputation in the local Adams County equine community. Your horse is led on and off the trailer by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
Rinor has box-truck driving experience and is a steady, reliable driver who’s comfortable behind the wheel for long stretches. For a horse on the trailer, that means smooth acceleration, measured braking, routes that skip rough roads, and trip timing built around the animal — not the clock.
You get pickup confirmations, on-the-road updates, and an ETA when we’re close to delivery. No silence, no surprises — just the kind of communication you’d want from someone moving your horse.
Quick, careful hauls across the Midwest and East Coast. Vet visits, trail rides, sale barns, new homes — same-day or next-day available.
Time-sensitive transport timed around your event. Early pickup, direct routing, calm handling — so your horse arrives at the gate fresh, not frazzled. Return haul available same day.
Split the trip, split the cost. If other owners are hauling the same direction on the same day — including race-day trips to the same track — up to three horses can share one trailer, and everyone saves about 20% off the mileage rate.
Show transport, sale prep, mares with foals, recently injured or recovering horses, or first-time travelers — we tailor the trip to the horse.
We operate out of Berne, Indiana — our home base — with full interstate service across Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Illinois. Licensed and insured — USDOT #9630252 · MC-82548913.
