(Louisville, Ky.) - The first-ever motorized RV and all-in-one horse transport arrived at its home in the United States in Louisville, Kentucky just in time for the Kentucky Derby. Founded by co-owners Tom and Carolyn Stinnett and Julie Calzone, Equine Motorcoach caters to very active horse show participants while supporting equestrian efforts nationally and internationally.

"From the grounds of Windsor Castle to Louisville, Kentucky, we did it!" exclaimed Carolyn Stinnett, Equine Motorcoach principal. Stinnett traveled to the Royal Windsor Horse Show in England in 2006 with her friend, Julie Calzone. The women discovered this new type of horse and people transport at the show and along with Carolyn's husband, Tom, created a manufacturing company to produce their Equine Motorcoach.

The trio combined their expertise in the RV and horse industry with a high quality European product that was refined by Lehel Coach Builders in England. Tom and Carolyn own Stinnett RV, one of the nation's largest independent RV dealers, which is located in the Louisville area. Tom is the Co-Chair of the GoRVing national promotional campaign and he sits on the Board of Directors of the RVDA, the United States' RV dealers association and was inducted in the RV Hall of Fame.

Julie Calzone owns a national advertising and public relations firm, Calzone & Associates. She competes and breeds dressage horses, hunter/jumpers and thoroughbred racehorses. Through Calzone Sporthorse, she is marketing cutting and reining horses in Europe.
