Awww, he's a beautiful horse. You must be thrilled! How long does he have to stay in quarantine?

Good for you! That is exciting...I can't imagine having to wait that long with my horse in another country. He is beautiful!

He will have to be in quarantine at the airport for three days, and then a further 3-4 weeks at a CEM testing facility.

aww, he's a real gentleman, I think I'm in love! :3
I'm glad he finally made it to you, and I hope those weeks will pass quickly and soon enough you can reunite, not only with him but also with your mare and fiance

Thanks everyone! I am glad I am not the only one who is utterly inlove with this fine gent.

He will be standing at stud in 2013! So keep him in mind if you are thinking about breeding your mares

Wow, he's stunning! Drat, I wish I had caught him whilst he was still over here... Then again my mare is 16 and an ID cross with no papers, so I've no idea if who she's related to.

If I may ask, how much did he set you back? Plus all the transport/etc? He's so stunning.

You're shipping a mare and your fiancee across? Make sure to give him haynets and water and rope toy so he doesn't get bored!

Congrats! Glad he made it there safe and sound and that you'll get to meet him soon.

We will be looking into frozen semen for shipping in the future, but I know that it will involve him participating in more quarantine type tests.. So we shall see how work intensive, so there is still a chance he can be used to breed in England!

All in all from our location in England to here the transport was around $20,000, so 13,000 GBP roughly. And we didn't buy him, he is ours

!

...but no one could afford to buy him now.. His price is priceless!

And don't worry about fiancé.. We will drug him

.. And as far as our mare, that is the scariest trip, as she is preggy! So will be on tender hooks for that one!!

We have already met, just a matter of getting everyone settled at the new place, I have two Tb mares who are dying to meet him.. They just don't know it yet
