Why buy a UK-produced showjumper for the Turkish market
Turkey's showjumping scene is expanding quickly, with strong national circuits in Istanbul, Ankara and along the coast, and rising demand for rideable, competition-ready horses. A UK-produced jumper fits because it is brought on patiently and honestly, ready to step into Turkish classes. Sourcing from the UK gives Turkish riders and stables access to a deeper pool of well-produced sport horses with clear provenance.
Importing a sport horse to Turkey — the real logistics
Importing a UK horse to Turkey means meeting Turkish import requirements, and we manage the process. We arrange the pre-export veterinary inspection and blood tests, obtain the export health certificates required for Turkey, and handle customs. Horses usually travel by air freight, or by road via the EU for some destinations; we coordinate the route, documentation and timing so the horse arrives cleared and well.
How Horses Smith works
Turkish clients typically begin on video with honest commentary, full veterinary history and pedigree, with a yard visit to Kent welcome at any time. Independent pre-purchase vetting by a veterinarian of your choice is encouraged. We then handle export paperwork, customs and white-glove transport to your yard, and stay available for aftercare.
Prices in EUR or USD on application. Horses measured in centimetres (hands in brackets).
