Meet your driver and owner of Eastwind Stables Horse Transport - Tanya Balmes. Being an EC Certified English Coach, I understand the importance of providing quality service and ensuring the horses are provided with the best possible hauling experience. Being in the horse industry for almost 25 years, I appreciate each owners individual needs and expectations. The name Eastwind Stables was my facility I operated for over 10 years. The transport became a part of Eastwind Stables in 2008. In 2011, the facility was sold but I kept the Eastwind name and continued with the transport and free lance coaching. I am more then happy to help people with anything I can - this includes finding another transporter if I am unavailable. Please review some of my references below.

"How about a post of how wonderful Tanya is? She's hauled my boys several times now and is always fantastic. She takes great care of the horses and is very accomadating to my last-minute frantic-mom stuff. I never worry about my boys when they are in her care. Her rates are always reasonable too. Definitely my first choice for hauling"
"I would never consider using anyone other than Tanya. She is fantastic with the horses or pups she hauls for me and is a great person to boot. Never enough time to visit though."
"Tanya did a wonderful job hauling my Rusty up to the Caribou from Oliver. Her trailer is gorgeous and roomy and a great lady that I felt totaly comfortable with sending my boy off to his new home. And i might add I am really picky and would not hesitate using her again!!"
"Tanya is amazing! All of my previous experiences with horse haulers were the same - my big TB doesn't load well, so by the time he is in - it's slam the door and get moving. He gets stressed and is always a mess upon unloading. Tanya's approach was different - calm and patient - and within 10 minutes, he had quietly loaded into her trailer, and remained calm while we loaded some hay. Amazing! Upon arrival he unloaded like an old pro - and hadn't even broken a sweat! He's never had an experience like this before - which is why I'll never use anyone else to haul my boys. I know they're safe, and well cared for with Tanya!"
"Last summer / 09, my daughters horse was transported with Tanya Balmes. Tanya was so caring for the horses' safety, cautious on the road with other traffic, not to have the horse any more fearful during transport and spent time teaching my daughters horse how to load without fear. We are SO THANKFUL to Tanya! I would not hesitate to transport with her!!"
"Thank you so much Tanya for transporting my newly purchased horse. Your excellent communication, great service and willingness to accommodate my requests was greatly appreciated. You were quick, prompt and your prices very reasonable. You will be the first person I recommend when needing a horse shipped and I would hire your services again without reservation. It was a real pleasure meeting and working with you!"
"I have used Eastwind Stables on 2 occasions now and Tanya has been the best! My animals arrived very relaxed and content! I also received a call from her once the horse was aboard with an ETA. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone wanting transport, be it a long or short haul. Keep up the fantastic work Tanya!"
"I highly recommend employing Eastwind Stables for ANY horse hauling! Tanya is honest, fair and genuinely cares about her precious cargo! She will always be my first choice to move a horse because it means peace of mind."
"I had my gelding out for training and I was unsatisfied with how that was going and I called all over to find someone to haul him home. Finally I got ahold of Tanya and she was great. She went to pick him up, made sure he was fine and let me know right away. She took the horse back to Eastwind Stables until her next trip to Quesnel. She sent me photos to show me that he was safe and put my mind at ease. He was then hauled back home to Quesnel and was in good shape when he got here. Tanya is very experienced and I felt so comfortable knowing my horse was safe. I will now contact Tanya for all my hauling. When I had to sell a horse, Tanya explained to me about Capri Insurance for the horses safety and helped me sure the horse was fully covered before he left my place...thanks Tanya!"
"The truth of the matter is that we only trust Tanya and no one else. When we had to move our horses across Western Canada, we talked to alot of haulers but found them lacking knowledge of horses. Luckily, we stumbled across Tanya's number and didn't look back. She answered all of our questions and was very patient. She was able to move our horses at a difficult time of year over a long distance, have them arrive at our property safely, in good condition and and unstressed. She organized our haul and accommodations for the horses quickly and when she was thrown curve balls en route, she able to adapt to new circumstances. 2 of our horses are difficult to handle but Tanya and her daughter, Alyssa, handled them beautifully. Having had a bad haul experience, its a relief to know that we can trust Tanya to put our horses first, before her own needs. If you love your horse then choose Tanya as your hauler. We will definitely use Tanya's services again."
