Export
Preparations
Depending
on the final destination of your horse(s), we will take care of all
export preparations, such as blood sampling, veterinary documentation,
custom papers and if necessary even certification by consulate services.
All quarantine needs are coordinated by us.
Different countries have very differing rules. Please
read the basic information for your desired destination below or just
contact us in order to discuss your requirements.
We aim to make procedures as easy and comfortable as possible for you.
In
some countries Receiving Agents may take over when your horse leaves
the plane.
Very close connections with long standing business partners exist in
Canada and the USA, Mexico, South America, Middle East, Australia and
South Africa, Japan and Indonesia.
However, we will usually remain your point of contact and monitor the
shipment of your horses till final destination.
ASIA
Nearly
all countries in Asia require negative EVA testing. All other preparations
for export are easy but vary to some extent depending on the horses'
country of origin.
Because
of differing EU treaties different regulations apply. Please obtain
specific and current information from us.
AUSTRALIA
Horses
for export to Australia have to undergo strict quarantine for 30 days
prior to departure. Stables have to be separate and acknowledged to
follow AQIS regulations. We can offer suitable stabling in our neighborhood.
During quarantine horses have to undergo several blood tests, with EVA
among them. Because EVA is rather common in Europe, it should be ruled
out before any other preparations are taken.
More
details and forms can by obtained from us. All tests should be coordinated
by us.
CANADA
All horses destined for Canada must return negative blood samplings
for infectious anemia by Coggins test (within 60 days) and piroplasmosis
(within 30 days). Prior to export horses must undergo quarantine for
a minimum of 30 days, to be certified by your veterinary official.
Mares
and stallions more than 2 years of age (731 days) must undergo a special
CEM testing of negative results within 40 days prior to export.
Within a period of 10 days three swabs must be taken three times: with
mares from clitoris fossa, medial clitoris sinus and both sides of lateral
clitoris sinus. With stallions samples must be taken from fossa glandis,
sinus urethralis and the surface of prepuce.
All CEM swabs must arrive in a refrigerated container at a certified
laboratory within 48 hours of having been taken.
Following
arrival and unloading in Canada all horses undergo a clinical examination
at the airport. They are then transported directly to quarantine stabling
at privately owned but certified farms.
Quarantine takes approximately one week for geldings and for stallions
and mares under two years of age (731 days). Several blood samples are
taken during this period.
Mares
and stallions over two years of age must expect a quarantine period
between 25-30 days (for mares) and 45-50 days (for stallions). They
undergo additional CEM testing.
For mares testing involves several swabs in the genital area. Stallions
have to cover two mares, obtained especially for that purpose, and must
undergo a special testing program together with these mares.
Further
details and forms can be obtained from us. All tests should be coordinated
by us.
MEXICO
All horses destined for Mexico must return negative blood samplings
for infectious anemia by Coggins test, for piroplasmosis and EVA within
60 days before export. Immediately prior to export horses must have
been in quarantine for a minimum of 30 days, to be certified by your
veterinary official.
Mares
and stallions over 1 year of age (365 days) must undergo special CEM
testing with negative results within 60 days prior to export. Three
different swabs must be taken with seven days between tests.
After
arrival in Mexico horses undergo a clinical check at the airport and
proceed to their destination.
More
details and forms can be obtained from us. All tests should be coordinated
by us. All samplings have to reach the laboratory within 48 hours after
being taken by a certified veterinarian.
SAN
SALVADOR &
COSTA RICA
Regulations
vary from country to country. However one requirement is common to all
- a negative result for EVA testing is an absolute must. All other necessary
testing is easy to follow.

details and forms can be obtained from us. All tests should be coordinated
by us.
SOUTH
AFRICA
Prior
to export to South Africa horses must undergo a complex regime of testing.
Because the timing of these tests is crucial we offer a "full service",
which involves boarding your horse at designated stables while all necessary
tests are completed. Preparation for export takes about four weeks.
During this time horses must be kept isolated.
Negative
EVA testing is one of the most important requirements for import into
South Africa. This should be ascertained before any other steps are
considered.
SOUTH
AMERICA
On receipt of your signed order we will prepare and then send to you
all necessary laboratory and veterinary health administration documentation.
We aim to make procedures as easy and comfortable as possible for you.
Regulations
vary from country to country. However one requirement is common to all
- a negative result for EVA testing is an absolute must. All other necessary
testing is easy to follow.
More
details and forms can by obtained from us. All tests should be coordinated
by us.
USA
All
horses must undergo standard arrival quarantine near the airport. This
will take 2 to 3 days in those cases where blood samples for infectious
anemia (by Coggins test), piroplasmosis, glanders and dourine prove
to be negative.
Blood sampling before export is not mandatory and in general positive
samples are not to be expected in horses from Western European countries.
There is, however, a fairly big risk of piroplasmosis positive testing
if your horse has travelled to Russia, Southern Europe or the South
of France. Pre-export testing is therefore generally recommended.
Mares
and stallions more than 2 years of age (731 days) proceed to CEM quarantine
after they undergo the standard quarantine described above. CEM quarantine
must take place at certain officially prescribed farms. Transport to
this location must be in a sealed vehicle.
Mares:
Within 30 days of export CEM swabs from clitoris fossa and clitoris
sinus must return negative. This testing takes about 14 days and is
repeated in the United States during further CEM quarantine. The quarantine
after arrival therefore takes at least 14 days.
Stallions:
Within 30 days of export CEM swabs from fossa glandis, sinus urethralis
and from the surface of prepuce must return negative. Testing takes
about 14 days. CEM quarantine within the USA is rather burdensome and
stallions have to cover two mares, obtained especially for that purpose,
and must undergo a special testing program together with these mares,
which takes between 30-45 days.
Further
details and forms can be obtained from us. All tests prior to export
should be coordinated by us. All samplings have to reach the laboratory
within 48 hours of being taken by a veterinarian.
