All horses exported by sea are subject to the same prescribed conditions. These include veterinary examination before shipment and regulations as to accommodation, feeding, watering and attendance during the voyage. A number of show jumpers and hackney horses have been exported under licence but I am not in a position to indicate the age ranges of these horses.
