Why Use Southern Cross Horse Transport?

Twins, Greer and Danielle Butcher need to transport their show jumping teams throughout Australia for regular competition. They understand the special requirements for transporting performance horses. Their horses arrive at events unstressed, fresh and ready to compete.
At Southern Cross we ensure every horse receives this same level of care.
