Argh I dunno lol

My old YO had a Dutch Warmblood but in shows etc she was down as a KWPN. She cost a bomb and had been imported as a 6YO the year before she bought her, think she paid something like £7000 for her so maybe she was pink papered..?

Re: Has anyone imported a horse from spain
KWPN is an abbreviation for the Royal Dutch Warmblood Studbook (Koninklijk Warmbloed Paardenstammboek Nederland) and horses registered with KWPN are known as Dutch Warmbloods.
There are a number of reputable companies who will transport horses. Many advertise in the equestrian press and they will take good care of your horse along the way. Best to pick a few, get some quotes, then ask for references.

Unless you have a spare £16,000 + and then in case that shipment goes 'wrong' another spare amount for another horses, seems like something the general public could not afford, especially for just a general riding horse. I guess stallions and horses that will make the money back competing.
Well to import my boy the horse cost £4500 transport £750 Export papers £90 and his 5 stage vetting £160 Roughly

I paid in euros (5280 Euros)

so just under £5500 and thats is cheaper than buying the horse i want in the UK.

5 stage vetting in my area is £500
Valanita and Nakeshamoon like this.

Re: Has anyone imported a horse from spain
yes i have as i had spanish horses for dressage for a long time but i dont like importing from spain as sadly too many have health issues due to the way they live and are treated in spain, ive had 3 with knackered legs and all imported ones had various intolerances to things, not to mention they were ridden in a horrendous false frame, in draw reins etc and were hollow as anything!

I will never import again and will only buy PRE's as foals/yrearlings from uk studs.
