What to do when the unexpected happens
What Qualifies as an Emergency
- Evacuations: weather, fire, barn closure, unsafe conditions
- Stranded travel: failed transport/ride, unexpected seller/buyer timing
- Vet-directed relocation: move to clinic, quarantine barn, or safer housing
- Short-notice family moves: owner illness, housing changes, deployments
If you’re unsure, text us—we triage fast and tell you what’s possible.
