Below is a quick explanation of why I do not haul between the months of September and April.


September through October months are Flood season for most of my routes through Canada.

November through April months are way too cold,  snowy,  and dangerous for long haul transportation of live animals in a trailer.
I have personally been out in mid-April and have been through temperatures ranging minus 20 degrees fahrenheit in the Yukon Territory.

Heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures are only a portion of the problem for this time of the year.
March through sometimes early May is Avalanche season for many parts of the roads.  I have also seen these covering the roads with no way through during late April in British Columbia.

This is not to say that floods,  mud slides,  forest fires,  and other natural disasters do not occur during other parts of the year,  because they often do.
  Mid-Summer 2011 there were road closures due to forest fires started by lighting strikes,  and in August of 2011,  I was caught in road closures due to flooding.
Nature can not be predicted to it's fullest,  so it is good to know your horses will be onboard with an experienced,  prepared livestock transporter.
