Parker County, Texas  ·  24 / 7 Dispatch

Dead horse removal,
dispatched around the clock

A winch-equipped truck, a driver who has done this hundreds of times, and a straight answer on timing and price before we roll. Serving every road in Parker County.

What happens when you call

Three questions, then we dispatch

When you call (817) 668-3935, we ask for three things: your gate code or an on-site contact, your road type, and where the horse is on the property. That determines the rigging we load and the route we take. You get an ETA before we hang up — typically 1.5 to 3 hours for Weatherford, Aledo, and Azle, and up to 4.5 hours for far western Parker County.

A mature horse weighs 900 to 2,200 pounds. Moving that safely takes a winch and a flatbed rated for the load — equipment most properties don't have and most haulers won't send at 2 a.m. We carry both on every call, every hour of the year.

Recovery from any terrain

Stalls, ponds, ditches, wooded back lots, gated pastures off FM 920 — the recovery site is rarely convenient. We winch from where the horse lies to the truck without tearing up your property, and we close every gate behind us. If the ground is soft after rain, tell us; we plan the approach differently.

Removal alone, or removal with cremation

Some owners want removal only. Others want the horse brought to our facility for private or communal cremation with ashes returned. Both are one phone call — you decide when we talk, or after pickup. If your vet is involved, we coordinate with the clinic directly.

We also handle cattle and other large animals with the same equipment and response times.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast can you get to my property?
Weatherford, Aledo, Azle, and the I-20 / SH 199 corridors: typically 1.5 to 3 hours. Springtown and north Parker County along FM 920: 2 to 3.5 hours. Mineral Wells and far western Parker County: 3 to 4.5 hours. We give you an exact ETA before the truck leaves.
What does dead horse removal cost?
Cost depends on your location within Parker County and whether removal is combined with cremation. Call (817) 668-3935 and we quote the full price on the phone before dispatching — no surprises on arrival.
The horse is in a stall / ditch / back pasture. Can you still get it?
Yes. Every truck carries a winch rated for draft-size horses and we recover from stalls, ditches, ponds, wooded lots, and gated pastures. Tell us the road type and approximate location when you call so we bring the right rigging.
Do I need to be there when you arrive?
No. Many owners prefer not to watch. A gate code or an on-site contact (barn manager, neighbor, vet tech) is enough. We confirm completion by phone or text.
Can you pick up from a veterinary clinic?
Yes. We coordinate directly with equine clinics across Parker County. If your horse was euthanized at a clinic, one call to us handles transport and, if you choose, cremation.
What should I do while I wait?
Keep dogs and other livestock away from the horse, cover it with a tarp if you have one, and avoid moving it — a mature horse weighs 900 to 2,200 pounds and dragging it without equipment risks injury and property damage.
