Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this horse shipping cost calculator?
Our calculator provides estimates based on current industry standards and averages. Actual costs may vary depending on specific carriers, fuel prices, and unique circumstances. We recommend getting quotes from multiple providers for precise pricing.
What factors most affect horse shipping costs?
Distance is the primary factor, followed by the number and size of horses, type of transport (ground vs. air), seasonality, and any special handling requirements. International shipments also involve additional customs and paperwork fees.
How far in advance should I book horse transport?
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall). For international shipments, allow 8-12 weeks for proper planning and paperwork processing.
What documentation is needed for international horse shipping?
Requirements vary by country but typically include health certificates, Coggins test, import permits, and sometimes quarantine arrangements. Always check with the destination country’s agricultural department for specific requirements.
