Horses Arrived in Amsterdam

We are happy to announce our most recent shipment to Amsterdam went very well.  Many thanks to Toni, Bjoern, Jean Jacques, Jerome, Elodie, Sylvia, Petra and Alberto for sharing your amazing horses with us. It was a pleasure working with you and your horses and we look forward to future shipments.

 Thanks also to Lori and Tom Cochran for taking good care of the horses on the trip.  We appreciate you!

For those of you who are new to international shipping, you may have noticed that we frequently write about shipping horses to Amsterdam or Luxembourg - or for the UK, you might see us mention Prestwick. You might wonder why we only go to those countries in the EU.

 It is not that there are so many Dutch, Luxembourgish or Scottish importers.  It is that there are only certain airports that have facilities for horses.  The major airports for horses in the EU are Schiphol in Amsterdam, Findel in Luxembourg, Charles De Gaul in Paris and Frankfurt Am Main in Frankfurt.  In the UK, it is Prestwick in Glasgow, Scotland.  Among these, the least expensive flights from the USA and the least expensive ports of arrival for airport handling and customs costs are Schiphol and Findel.  So we fly the horses into those major ports.  After customs papers are cleared and the horses have been checked by the port veterinarians, they are loaded into horse vans and go by road to their final destinations.  For example, in this most recent shipment to Amsterdam, the horses went to Belgium, Germany and France.  None stayed in the Netherlands,

We are gathering horses now for our next shipments to the EU, Qatar, Kuwait and Dammam, Saudi Arabia.  Spaces are available in each group and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  Reserve your space today by emailing us at ez2spot@hotmail.com.  Let us know if you have any questions.  We are always happy to help.
