Alltech National Horse Show - Here we come!

(Lexington, Ky.) - Equine Motorcoach™ is returning to its roots with an appearance at the Alltech National Horse Show in Lexington, Kentucky, October 30 - November 4. The all in one RV and horse transport that is now manufactured in the United States debuted at the National Horse Show in 2007 when it was held in Wellington, Florida. "A lot has changed since we started manufacturing these transports," said Tom Stinnett, designer and co-owner for Equine Motorcoach. "Our transport is now completely manufactured in the United States and the price point has dropped considerably. We have added several new features: Saddlematic 180, a separate bedroom, solar panels, heated floors, hay pods and user friendly controls. We are building 2, 3 ,4, 5 and 6-horse vehicles as well."
