But for all those of you who want to move to a different country, buy a horse abroad or go to international competitions it is important to know exactly which way of transport is the best and how to prepare for a long journey. <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Air, Road, Rail or Sea?<\/h2>\n<p>Horses can travel by<strong> air, road, rail, or sea<\/strong>. On long distances, they are most commonly transported by air, whereas horse trailers are the standard way to transport horses over short distances. Professional competition riders even own lorries that can fit many horses. In case your journey takes a short ride with a ferry, you may take your horse with you on a boat. There are many ways to transport horses, and we want to explain how exactly horses are transported and <strong>which form of transportation is the best<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Air &#8211; do horses suffer from jet lag?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Flying is the most common way to transport horses. But there aren&#8217;t planes only for horses. Instead, the animals are loaded into specifically designed <strong>air-stables<\/strong> that look just like a horse trailer without wheels. These air-stables are then lifted onto <strong>cargo planes<\/strong>. There are usually 20 to 60 horses on a plane. An air-stable can be divided into sections to take up to 3 horses. Size, gender and the class the owner has booked for his horse decide how many horses are put together into an air-stable. There are three different classes. In <strong>coach-class<\/strong>, three horses share in one stable. This option only works for smaller horses and ponies. In <strong>business-class<\/strong>, two horses share one stable, and <strong>first-class<\/strong> means that the horse has the air-stable on its own. Once all horses have been loaded, the air-stables are lifted onto the plane. There&#8217;s always a <strong>groom<\/strong> with the horses during the flight to feed them and give them water. Sometimes there&#8217;s even a <strong>vet<\/strong> to monitor the equines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But horses don&#8217;t suffer from flying at all. It is, in fact, the<strong> most comfortable way of transport<\/strong> as they don&#8217;t have to hold their balance actively. Therefore, they can sleep and eat as they would do at home. This is the reason why horses <strong>do not experience jet lag<\/strong> as humans do. It is their nature to take short naps instead of sleeping for several hours at once, which means they can get on with their sleeping routine on the flight.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alternatives to flying &#8211; can horses get seasick?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Road<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, you can travel on the road with your horse. But longer journeys are pretty <strong>exhausting<\/strong> for the animals. Accelerating, stopping and being chucked from one side to the other isn&#8217;t fun to endure over days. Horses <strong>can\u2019t sleep or relax<\/strong> when they are in a trailer or a truck. Yet, <strong>horse trucks are more comfortable<\/strong> as they are bigger and therefore steadier on the road. So, if you\u2019re traveling for more than one or two days, you should consider using a different way of transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rail\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Horses can, of course, be transported by rail. It makes sense to use the rail if the starting- and endpoint of your journey is near a train station. However, even if you\u2019re not particularly near a train station, you may consider traveling by rail as it is <strong>one of the most comfortable ways to travel<\/strong> for horses. There are <strong>no abrupt changes of direction, stops, or bumpy roads<\/strong>, and if you want to decide what\u2019s the best way to travel for horses, traveling by rail would come right after flying. You can even take your horse on the <strong>Eurotunnel<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traveling by sea is another option but for sure none you would want to consider and here\u2019s why. <strong>Horses can get seasick<\/strong>. They usually travel below deck, where due to lack of vision, the brain gets confused by the boat&#8217;s motion. It\u2019s just the same as for humans, and if you\u2019ve ever experienced this, you know how horrible it feels. For horses, seasickness can even get serious as they\u2019re not able to vomit. Instead, they suffer from <strong>colic<\/strong>. So, traveling by boat is not a good idea unless you lived in the 16th century and wanted to discover the new world.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>The best way to transport horses<\/h2>\n<p>The best and most common way to transport horses over long distances is definitely by <strong>air<\/strong>. Horses can sleep on a plane, and the steady noise makes them drowsy. Most horses are very accepting of the process of being loaded onto the plane, too, and only a few require mild sedation.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re worried about the environment and your <strong>carbon footprint<\/strong>, you may want to consider transporting your horse by <strong>rail<\/strong>. Being on a train is similar to being on a plane for horses. They don\u2019t need to hold their balance actively and can rest and even sleep while they\u2019re being moved.<\/p>\n<p>You may have realized that <strong>the bigger the vehicle, the better<\/strong>. So, the two-horse trailer you own is worse than a plane. Did you expect that? Also, <strong>horses usually board trucks easier than trailers<\/strong>. Trucks feel safer and more secure for the horse and the driver. But you don\u2019t need to buy a massive horse truck now. There are <strong>two-horse trucks<\/strong> that are safer than a trailer and more comfortable for the horses. In these small trucks, the ramp goes sideways, and the horses face to the back so that in case you have braking issues, the horses are better prepared and can just sit back. If you\u2019re traveling a lot with your horse, you may want to think about switching to such a truck.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve learned that horses don\u2019t experience jet lag as we do but suffer from <strong>seasickness<\/strong>. Consequently, traveling by sea shouldn\u2019t be an option for you and your horse. If you need to get on a ferry for a <strong>short time,<\/strong> that\u2019s not a problem, but don\u2019t try to get your horse from Europe to America by boat. That\u2019s more of an <strong>ancient practice<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shipping fever<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Along with traveling long distances goes the risk that a horse suffers shipping fever. This happens to approximately 10% of the horses and can appear whichever way of transport you choose. As horses usually travel by air, it typically occurs during a flight or a few days later. Therefore, the flight-grooms are well-equipped with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Sometimes there\u2019s even a vet on the plane. Nevertheless, it would be best if you kept checking your horse\u2019s temperature a few days after a long journey as shipping fever can occur post-travel and should be taken very seriously. If it is not detected early, it can cause death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The paperwork<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When moving horses abroad, the <strong>paperwork<\/strong> is the biggest part. Imagine you wnt to move your horse from Great Britain to the EU post-Brexit, the first steps you would have to take are contacting a<strong> shipping agent and an official vet<\/strong>. The shipping agent or transporter knows all about the right <strong>vehicle and transporter authorization<\/strong>. The official vet issues the <strong>export health certificate<\/strong>, and in case your horse is not registered, the <strong>government-issued travel ID<\/strong> as well. A horse counts as registered when it belongs to a recognized UK studbook or a national branch of an international body for racing or competition, for example, the FEI.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Ten days<\/strong> before travel, you must <strong>apply<\/strong> for an EHC. However, the actual work starts long before this. You have to check<strong> residency and isolation requirements<\/strong> as well as which <strong>disease tests<\/strong> need to be undertaken. The required documents and tests vary between countries and horses. Therefore, you should always read the guidance on the <strong>government websites<\/strong> to know exactly what is required for the export or import.
