If you are wanting to travel your own horse abroad, we will happily apply for the export licenses and health certificates for you. We can also supply you with a groom/driver for a complete package. Our ferry freight charges are extremely competitive and we will arrange overnight stabling for your horses while you compete on the continent.

Local journeys and UK Horse transport incorporating yard and house moves

Trips to the gymkhana, pony club, clear round jumping, or vet's are often the horse owner's or their horse's first experience of travelling. LOC International Horse Transport understands that no matter how long or short the journey is, it is important that the experience is a happy one for all.

So whether you or your horse are first time travellers or seasoned professionals, use LOC for your short haul, local trips.

We can transport your horses and all of your other animals and belongings as a complete package. Our sympathetic approach to a hectic situation is where LOC International Horse Transport comes in to its own. Our knowledge of the equine and logistics is at the forefront of every trip that we make and in combination with our expertise and experience of transporting horses minimises the stress to horse and owner alike.

Every horse is an individual and will be treated in this manner when in our care.
