I am new to this group. I have just bought a mare from Sweden who was covered by a Swedish stallion (Knast Halsnaes) before I bought her. She travelled through Sweden (11hours), then rested overnight, then by boat to Denmark (7 hours), then onto Germany where she rested 6 hours, from there she went through Belgium and to France and crossed the English Channel then travelled straight to Wolverhampton where she rested overnight, then onto the Scottish borders with another transporter and then rested overnight and then up to me in the North East of Scotland!! It was quite a trip which took 5 days altogether. The vet recommended to me that she be at least 40 days gestation before she travelled. I would also recommend that you pick a reputable transporter as this can make all the difference. My mare lost some weight during transport, but faired better than the other horses on the trip. Anyway, good luck! Linda Bain
