International Horse Transport
Buying a horse internationally should feel clear, structured and achievable. Warmblood Horse Sales supports buyers not only in selecting quality horses, but also in understanding how those horses can safely and professionally reach their destination worldwide.
Trusted Transport Partnership
Warmblood Horse Sales has worked alongside John Parker International for over 20 years, building a long-standing relationship based on trust, professionalism and successful international horse transport.
This experience provides buyers with confidence that transport arrangements are supported by a proven and reliable network within the equine industry.
John Parker International also operates with integrated veterinary support, helping streamline the export process and ensuring coordination between transport and required veterinary procedures.
Professional Transport Process
International transport involves far more than moving a horse from one location to another. It includes veterinary preparation, export documentation, customs clearance, regulated inspections, careful handling and coordinated logistics.
Working with experienced specialists ensures that each stage is handled correctly, helping to maintain horse welfare and reduce uncertainty for buyers.
Buyers are free to arrange their own preferred transport if they wish. Warmblood Horse Sales can assist by connecting clients with trusted transport providers, or work alongside existing agents and arrangements already in place.
Example UK to USA Export
A recent professional export quotation for one registered horse on a shared load from Liverpool, UK to New York (JFK) totalled:
£7,275 GBP to JFK airport
This example included road transport to Europe, pre-export veterinary testing, export documentation, customs clearance, border inspection, stabling, airport transfer and airfreight.
Due to ongoing global conditions — including fluctuations in fuel costs, airline availability and international logistics — transport pricing can vary significantly over time. Prices should be treated as a guide rather than a fixed quotation.
After Arrival Costs
Costs after landing in the USA are separate and may include import permits, quarantine, onward transport, customs processing and applicable tariffs depending on the horse and final destination.
Important Information
Transport information shown is based on example professional quotations and is provided as a guide only.
Final costs and arrangements may vary depending on horse age, sex, destination, veterinary requirements, quarantine regulations, airline availability, customs charges and global fuel conditions.
Warmblood Horse Sales is not a transport carrier. Transport arrangements can be coordinated as part of the purchase process, either through trusted providers or in line with the buyer’s own preferred arrangements.
