Why buy a UK-produced showjumper for the Belgian market
Belgium is a powerhouse of jumping breeding, home to the BWP (Belgian Warmblood) and Studbook Zangersheide, and it sits on the doorstep of the French sport-horse world. Buyers here judge horses on scope, blood and carefulness, and our UK-produced jumpers are brought on to satisfy exactly that. Sourcing from the UK simply broadens the field of well-produced horses available to Belgian riders and dealers.
Importing a sport horse to Belgium — the real logistics
Since Brexit a UK horse enters Belgium as a third-country import, and we manage all of it. We arrange the pre-export veterinary inspection and bloods, register the move on TRACES NT, obtain the export health certificate, and book an EU-approved transporter. Belgium is a short road-and-Channel route from Kent, so horses typically arrive within a day or two, cleared and door to door.
How Horses Smith works
Belgian clients commonly begin on video with honest commentary, full veterinary history and pedigree, and are welcome to ride and try in Kent. Independent pre-purchase vetting by a veterinarian of your choice is always encouraged. We then handle export paperwork, customs and white-glove transport to your yard, and stay available for aftercare.
Prices in EUR on application. Horses measured in centimetres (hands in brackets).
