International Transporters

[Baudelaire2014]

Hi all, i'm looking for someone to move a pony from the UK to Canada, and have come across a company called LOC.
Has anyone used them and can offer any opinions please?
Or can recommend anyone else?

Google returns several possible options, but i prefer to go on recommendations where possible 🙂

Please feel free to pm if you'd prefer.
Thanks in advance!

LOC are a reputable company. I used Peden's when I flew horses from the US to Ireland many years ago.

We always used Gillies for transport to Newmarket then Pedans for the onward trip to the US for the Shetlands we sent out. Always topnotch care.

ETA are excellent but the others mentioned above are equally reputable.

I have used loc to transport from Spain to the uk, they looked after my stallion very well and sent several text updates along the journey to let me know how he was coping with the travel he arrived calm and looked well considering he had come from Malaga I would definitely use loc again.

I've used LOC three times - each time they've been great.

LOCs every time. They brought my Spanish horse to UK and the care was exemplary. The office staff are friendly and helpful and transport crews are brilliant.

Parkers & Peden for USA, Aus, NZ & those sides of the pond.
For anywhere in Europe and mainland onwards then add LOC to the list too

I used Dutta Corp. to move my horse from the US to the UK. They flew her into Amsterdam and hooked her up with Parker's to travel to Kent. I was very happy with both of them. The only thing I was unhappy with was the shipper that then moved her from Kent to Durham, because they said they don't give hay on board due to risk of colic (new one on me, whereas not giving hay definitely increases your risk). So the horse spent seven to eight hours on a lorry with no hay. I would not use that shipping company again.
