Horse shipping price?

Question

does anyone know the shipping price of a horse from USA to the middle east

Answer 1

ALOT... but i wouldnt recommend buying a horse from the states... the horses generally arnt up to the standard of the uae... so try getting some thing from there... i'm in Australia and i wouldn't import anything from the states... if you want an import try japan or macau... there are some nice youngsters going through the sales there at the moment...

(costs for importing will variety as you country will have quarantine fees and times so not only will the freight cost money (maybe a few grand) you will need to pay for vetting, travellers, sedation, quarantine before it leaves the states... then all the vaccinations it will need when it gets to the middle east and then all its papers to allow it to move freely once there) its really not viable for a race horse... unless its a stud or mare you can breed from... and transporting a horse that far can ruin it.. it may never race again... or injure its self or cause a mental problem... or respiratory or heart murmur from the sedation... )
