Why buy a UK-produced showjumper for the UAE market
The UAE has a thriving showjumping scene built around the winter season, with major fixtures in Dubai and Sharjah and a strong field of competitive riders. A UK-produced jumper suits this market because it is brought on carefully and honestly, ready to step onto the Gulf circuit. Sourcing from the UK gives Emirati riders and stables access to well-produced horses with clear provenance and the option of complete discretion.
Importing a sport horse to the UAE, the real logistics
Importing a horse to the UAE requires an import permit, compulsory equine influenza vaccination, and full health certification, all of which we arrange. Horses travel by charter air freight from the UK, with a short period of controlled stabling on arrival as required by the authorities. We coordinate the permit, the pre-export veterinary work, the flight and the arrival logistics so the horse lands cleared and cared for.
How Horses Smith works
UAE clients usually start on video with honest commentary, full veterinary history and pedigree, and WhatsApp is our primary, fastest channel for response. Independent pre-purchase vetting by a veterinarian of your choice is encouraged, and a visit to Kent is welcome. We then manage the import permit, charter air freight and discreet white-glove handling to your yard, and remain available for aftercare.
Prices in EUR or USD on application. Horses measured in centimetres (hands in brackets).
