The most compassionate
way to say farewell.

Call Equine Solace at (817) 668-3935 any hour. We are a dedicated equine removal and cremation service for Parker County — not a general pet crematory. Our winch-truck team dispatches from the area and covers Weatherford, Springtown, Azle, Mineral Wells, Aledo, and all surrounding rural roads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays.

Call us first. While you wait, keep other animals away from the area and note the location on your property so we can plan access before we arrive. If your horse was under veterinary care, let your vet know — some owners want a necropsy before transport. You do not need to move the horse yourself. We bring the equipment to recover from any terrain, including stalls, pastures, and gated fields.

Yes. Horse cremation is legal in Texas and does not require permits from the state or Parker County. It requires a large-animal retort — a specialized cremation chamber sized for equines — which standard pet crematories do not operate. Our facility is purpose-built for horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys of all sizes and breeds.

Private cremation means your horse is cremated alone in the retort chamber. The ashes — 100% your horse's remains — are returned to you with a cremation certificate. You can keep them in an urn, scatter them on your property, or have them incorporated into a memorial keepsake. Communal cremation means your horse is cremated alongside other animals. Ashes are not returned individually. It is the right choice for owners who do not wish to keep the remains.

Response time depends on your location. Properties in Weatherford, Azle, and along the I-20 and SH 199 corridors typically see us within 2 to 3 hours. Springtown and north Parker County along FM 920 run 2 to 3.5 hours. Mineral Wells and the western county edge take 3 to 4.5 hours. We give you an accurate ETA before we leave — not an optimistic estimate.

Most equine vets in Parker County — including practices along the Mineral Wells Highway and the I-20 corridor — do not handle removal or cremation directly. They can euthanize your horse on-site, but transport and aftercare are typically arranged separately. We coordinate directly with veterinary practices across Parker County. If your vet performed euthanasia at your property or at a clinic, call us and we handle pickup from either location.

Texas does not have a statewide ban on burying livestock on private land, but Parker County has rules around proximity to water sources, property lines, and burial depth. On large rural tracts it is often permitted; on smaller suburban-adjacent lots near Aledo or Azle it becomes more complicated. Cremation avoids those logistics entirely and is the most practical option for most Parker County horse owners regardless of acreage.

Yes. We work directly with boarding operations, training facilities, and equine veterinary practices throughout Parker County. Weatherford's concentration of cutting horse trainers and performance facilities means we receive regular calls from professional barns where the owner is not on-site. We coordinate pickup with barn managers and clinic staff, handle all transport documentation, and keep the owner informed through the process. Call us or have your facility manager call (817) 668-3935.
