International horse transport

[crystalrocks]

Does anyone have any experience of international horse transport? How to arrange it and how much it costs? I may be travelling to Sweden and have the opportunity to take my horse with me but it would be very dependant upon cost, any advice/information appreciated

My little Falabella went off to France with Parker's, they were excellent.

John Parker international took my guys to France from Essex and then brought one back. They are fantastic and very reasonable on price

Thanks, never done it before so if I can find someone who can travel him who isn't too pricey I'll hopefully be able to take my horse

When I was looking at possibly importing a friesian from holland the prices for transport to mid england was around £500 or so

Parkers have been excellent for us.

I used John Parker for a France to England trip. They sorted all the paperwork etc i just supplied address details and payment. Great service from them and a nice calm looked after horse despite delays on the crossing.

I was looking for prices to Europe. A friend told me she exported one from Central Scotland to Belgium for £400 and another to central France for £1,000.

The first was a 5yo Highland and the second a yearling Highland.

That may give you some idea. Both by John Parker.

LOC are brilliant, really lovely people and excellent horse care. They sent me pictures and texts for 4 days when mine came over from spain to uk.
