Services
From professional transport to independent veterinary vetting — we organize everything safely and transparently.
Horse Transport
Transport
We generally only transport our horses for sale with certified, renowned and well-known carriers. All horses are accommodated in transit stalls during breaks in transport and can relax there in guest boxes. Of course, the horses are insured through the carrier during transport. The horses are driven in air-conditioned trucks specially designed for horses. The freight forwarders naturally try to make the transport as stress-free as possible. Upon delivery, you will receive the horse's original papers and any purchased accessories from the carrier.
Prices
The prices vary depending on the loading point and unloading point. We would be happy to obtain offers from various forwarders for you in advance. The contract is concluded directly between the customer and the forwarder and the amount is paid directly to the forwarder. The customer receives the contact details of the forwarding agent and can then arrange delivery dates etc. directly with them. Majestic Horses has no influence on the route, delivery times etc. A single transport can also be booked on request.
| Route | Estimated Price (€) |
|---|---|
| Within Spain | €300–€500 |
| Spain → Germany / France | €800–€1,200 |
| Spain → UK | €1,200–€1,600 |
| Spain → Scandinavia | €1,500–€2,000 |
Air Freight
If the horse is brought abroad by air freight, we will also work with well-known partners here and look for the best offer for you and your horse! We take care of all the necessary examinations such as the piroplasmosis test for export to the USA or Asia.
Transport Paperwork
We take care of the complete organization and preparation of the necessary transport documents – there are no additional costs for the customer. All necessary costs, such as for the preparation of the health certificate, are already included in the purchase price. In principle, every horse is checked again by a veterinarian 3–5 days before transport and receives a health certificate. This certificate is presented to the responsible veterinary office for the purpose of transport approval.
Veterinary Vetting (PPE)
General Information
Once you have selected a suitable horse, you may arrange an independent pre-purchase examination that can be referenced in the purchase agreement.
Our veterinarians can prepare digital X-rays, allowing you to request a second opinion from your own veterinarian. You may also speak with the examining veterinarian after the assessment. If you cannot attend, videos can be made of important stages such as flexion tests. You are also welcome to appoint your own veterinarian.

The Check (Stages)
Examination with the horse stabled. Behaviour and temperament noted. Eyes, nostrils, lymph glands, muscular development, spine, limbs, wounds, swellings, growths, scars and heat assessed. Walked on firm flat surface for regularity and signs of pain.
Trotted up on a flat, hard surface (front/side/behind). Turning and backing to assess limb movement. Flexion tests may be performed; results should be discussed with the vet as vigorous flexions can cause temporary lameness even in sound horses.
Ridden (or lunged if unbroken) walk–trot–canter. Vet listens for abnormal sounds and checks respiration and heart rate; heart and lungs examined after exercise.
Rest up to 30 minutes; heart and lungs examined again. Blood samples may be taken.
Trotted up again to confirm soundness after exercise. Vetting results recorded (pass/fail) with abnormalities noted against intended use; further tests may be recommended depending on findings and buyer preference.
Digital radiographs as requested (standard or extended series).
Blood/drug screening on request.
