Having just gone thru some of the outrageous new tricks of importing horses.
My 2 cents are
Make an appointment with your U.S federal vet.
HAve you coggins & intenational health certificate ready.
As the horse is your own you will probably not need a broker.
You will probably be charged a 60 dollar entrance fee.
Now breeders in Canda
Beware & be ready. It is not as easy as it used to be to export horses .
It is much easier to have the new owner pick them up. As they can get by
with a one time only permit. Not always possible tho
So for exporting horses we now need to have a SCAC #, bar codes, paps,
prearranged import papers all ready, the process takes several hundred
dollars and about a week, a broker can be useful.
Otherwise pay the price to a company that has it all together.
You don't want to be caught unprepared
Good luck

You will need the neg. coggins and the Health Cert., you have to make the
border crossing from 8or 9am until about 3pm, and only Mon--Fri (make sure you
don't have a holiday in there) then you will be given instructions to go to
the Fed. Vet on the US side (normally the vet is just off the border
crossing), however, since this is your horse and if you are doing the
transporting yourself, you may not have to go to the Fed. Vet. You really
cannot make an appt with the US officials, you will have to have papers
(registration) on your veh and the trailer to show them at the border,
normally you will have to go inside the USDA office and they will have some
questions for you and some paperwork, I don't think you can get the paperwork
ahead of time either. Ok, you may have to get a 'broker' to 'help' you get
through this part, but like I said, if you are transporting your own horse
this usually doesn't apply....it depends somewhat on where you are crossing,
who is on duty, what they requiring that day.....
I am giving the info on crossing the Blue Water Bridge in Michigan to/from
Canada. Good luck and enjoy your horse! :>)
