Creech
Horse Transportation, Inc., formerly known as Creech Bros.
Horse Vans, Inc., was started in 1965 by Charles L. Creech.
Charles Creech purchased
his first 9-horse van in 1965 from Clark Prather after being
approached by fellow saddlebred horse trainers and exhibitors.
The trainers approached Charles about buying a large trailer
to haul their entire stable to shows. Charles enjoyed hauling
horses himself and he took his next step by purchasing his
second van from Anheuser-Busch. The van was previously used
to haul the Budweiser Clydesdales.
Charles was later approached
by a local trainer at Fairmount Park Race Track. He was interested
in having the horses he trained hauled to different race tracks.
This is how Creech Bros. Horse Vans, Inc. got involved in
hauling thoroughbred horses. Creech Bros. Horse Vans, Inc.
starts growing from there.
In 1978 Creech Bros. Horse
Vans, Inc. bought Dunmeier Bros. in Plain City, Ohio. Dunmeier
was an Ohio based horse carrier at the time and had the necessary
authority Creech needed to transport in the eastern United
States.
In January 2005, Creech Bros.
Horse Vans, Inc. changed its name to Creech Horse Transportation,
Inc.. This name change came about because some people thought
Creech Bros. Horse Vans, Inc. built horse vans instead of
hauling horses. The name change turned out to be a very positive
move.
In March of 2005 Creech Horse
Transportation, Inc. bought Hudson Horse Transportation, Inc.
in Ocala, Florida. This merger enabled Creech Horse Transportation,
Inc. to serve all of Florida, up and down the east coast as
far north as northern New York as well as Kentucky and all
states in between along the I-75 corridor; also the greater
Midwest to Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, and California.
Creech Horse Transportation,
Inc. is a third generation business and has been a member
of the National Horse Carriers Association since 1974. Creech
Horse Transportation, Inc. is here to accommodate all transportation
