Did any one take there horse from u.k to Perth?
Hi, every one
Me and my family are moving to Wanneroo WA end of next year and are looking in to the price of bringing my cob with me, had him since he was a baby so really dont wanna part with him aahhhh. Please if any one has succeeded in this mission could you let me know how much it cost to have them transported. Also what the going rate for livery is, i know its called agistment thats about it. Many thanks and sorry for my spelling

Hi
Well, that's a first from my point of view....don't think anyone has asked about taking their horse before! I am sorry though as I really don't know. Hope you get some answers though!

Didn't Janeyray bring hers over? I'll go look.
Edit: No she didn't. It was Whiskey I was thinking of, Janey left hers in the UK.

If you do bring your cob, use IRT. They are the best.
I brought my horse out in 2002 and used IRT. I'd worked in the bloodstock industry so I knew how good they are. They are fab.
However, I REALISED it was wrong to bring my horse here and sent him back in 2003. He is now settled with family.
Think hard about it.
It is not the same as UK
It is harder.It is different. Horses are not viewed as worthwhile like they are in the UK. Vets are lovely but lack experience. You are the vet.
Having said that, you'll meet the people you need to and if you are commited to Aus maybe your horse should come with you but think of the horse first as it is so different! Pet plan insure here now, farriers aren't as good (I've gone barefoot) It' is NOT their fault and Iam happy with mine. It is just different. Does your cob suffer in a UK summer with theheat? Well think hard when there is 40 degree summers adn they're only getting hotter. Just think it through. Not trying to put you off but it is a slightly different ballgame down here.
