Tips for a successful export
Good preparation is essential for a smooth export process. Below are some points of attention for different categories:
Foals
Foals must be at least five months old before they can be transported. It is important that they are accustomed to wearing a halter and being handled. Transport together with the mare or a ‘buddy’ is preferred. In addition, timely vaccinations and blood tests are required.
Three-year-old horses
Allow young horses to get used to transport and new environments. Ensure they are in good condition and at an appropriate weight. Consider additional supervision during the flight and take out suitable transport insurance.
Sport horses
Clearly indicate in advance whether the horse requires special care or feeding. Horses2fly ensures that the horse meets all veterinary export requirements. Certified grooms supervise the transport, where extra rest, space, or a stopover (in case of road transport) is possible.
Pregnant broodmares
Transport of pregnant mares is possible under certain conditions. In consultation with the veterinarian, a safe schedule is determined, with the welfare of both mare and unborn foal as the priority.
Worldwide destinations
Horses2fly provides transport to various destinations worldwide, including the United States, Canada, South America, and Asia.
