Anyone have rough figures on what it costs?

I think you can find shipping around $5000. There are a few companies that do it. I have never shipped overseas, but was looking at a horse over there and that is the rough estimate I got.

I shipped a mare from Ky to Ireland two years ago and it cost around $12,000 altogether, what with air transport and local transport, etc.

The key in saving money is to be totally flexible on when she ships. If you don't have a schedule and they can slot her onto any flight where they have two horses on a three-horse pallet, you save money. But if you need to be here in two weeks to breed to a stallion, you wind up paying more money for the firm date.

Of course, you can wind up spending your savings in horse board while you wait.

I've used airequine.net and got pretty reasonable prices for shipping from Canada to the US, and from CA to NJ. They use Fedex a lot. I was very pleased with the staff and the care they took of the horses.
