Answer 1

A few facts about importing horses:

It is very expensive (a lady I know was quoted £7500 to fly her horse from UK to Aus)

If the horse becomes ridiculously stressed in transit they are euthanized (this happens more often than you think)

I personally don't think it's fair

Anyhoo - http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Agricu...

Answer 3

well i know a place in California that will ship horses.  they are called Jet Pets. i see horses coming from there all the time. but i don't know how much it would cast. i think it depends in the different situations. but i would call them if you want price's. but i think it will cast about 5,000 dollars but i really don't know. they are over by LAX airport. if you want any more information you can email me at [e-mail] i hope i helped Sabrina

Try the clydesdale breed society

If you are able to give a horse a loving home, how about rescuing one of these - you might find a percheron, if not a Clydesdale. There are plenty of these animals already here in Scotland.
