Question

How much is it to ship a horse from Israel to (Boston)?

Answer 1

2000 dollars!!

Answer 2

To give you a rough idea, a friend of mine moved to BC, Canada from UK. She paid just short of $20,000.

I thought she was insane, her horse wasn't anything special, but she'd had it as a weanling and was very attached to it.

Hope you have deep pockets!!

Good luck!

Answer 3

You're really asking the wrong people. How would we know how much something like that costs? You'd have to ask for an estimate from whatever company would actually be doing the shipping.

Answer 4

first the flight or ship fees, then the quartnee fees (i do believe its 2weeks to 30 days, and you have to pay for everything while the horse is there).

then there's the vet check bill.

you also have to consider how closey the govt would look at a horse from the middle east, even if it was from israel.

there lots extras, but my friend when we were in grade school got a horse from europe, cost of the horse/bringing it over here, over 50,000(and closer to 75,000). she was daddy's girl, go figure.

i couldnt give you a cost for today, but b4 you go buy the horse go read the govt's rules on bringing horses into this country from others. (each country has different rules, ie if i wanted to bring in a horse from europe, middle east, central america..ect) so google boarder policies and things like that till you find the exact rules you're looking for. (also consider asking a lawer do to all the paper work(pay for it of corase). much easier)

Answer 5

I agree with Sov!! Only one way to find out for sure is to call a shipper. No one on here can give you a price that 100% correct. So save everyones time & just call.
