Importing a horse from Europe is a big decision, and we understand you have questions.
These are a few that are frequently asked. Contact Beata for additional information or with other questions.
It costs approximately $9,000 to ship a gelding to JFK Airport in New York City and $11,500 to ship to LAX in California. Mares and stallions incur additional costs due to extra quarantine periods. Expect to pay an additional $3,500 for a mare.
Yes, you and/or your trainer can try the horse in Europe before buying it. You are responsible for your own travel. Our partner will meet you at the airport or a designated location and provide transport to the stables for the trial.
Absolutely. We have veterinarians in Europe that have ongoing relationships with Equestrian International. We start with obtaining X-rays, looking them over and then scheduling a vetting for the horse with one of our experienced vets in Europe. After the vetting, we send everything to the client’s vet and wait for approval.
Flights are scheduled one to three weeks after the seller receives payment. Quarantine length and travel to your location also influence arrival time.
Equestrian International works with both professionals and amateurs.
