Just wondering. Is it like dangerous to ship horses?? Are they on an airplane or boat?
Answer
From the U.S., horses are usually flown from Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Lexington, New York or sent via trailer to Canada and flown from there. They are loaded into an aluminum crate that is very similar to a straight load horse trailer or a semi-trailer. Each crate can hold three horses so shipping three at a time is the most economical method. A handler usually travels in the crate with them in the area in front that would be the manger in a walk-through two-horse trailer or the space between rows in a semi-trailer. Once they're loaded the crate is placed in the cargo area of a plane using a fork-lift. The previous poster is totally wrong about quarantine in the UK - even dogs no longer do 6 months under the PETS scheme. The horse usually does about a month's quarantine at an approved facility in the US prior to shipping, documents are then issued and the horse is transported to the UK. The horse has to have a passport to enter the UK which is a recent thing. Post transport quarantine in the UK is for up to a month at an approved facility. The total cost just for transportation, quarantine, paperwork etc is around $10,000 plus the cost of the horse.

Shipping a puppy from Nebraska to Houston Hobby Airport?
RM
Does anyone know where in the Houston Hobby airport your pick up shipped animals and the process?
Answer
Call the specific airline and ask for their policies. You might also be able to look them up online. When I shipped a dachshund through Hobby years ago, he arrived on the baggage line (in his crate). Watch the weather though; they won't fly them if its too hot (specific temps are given in the regulations, it can vary depending on the airline) and it can't be too hot anywhere the plane touches down. Look for a direct flight preferably counter to counter. Bring your photo I.D. a secondary form of identification and be at the airport at least an hour before the plane is due to land. Again depending on the airline, they may hold your pup until he recovers from the flight. When you arrive at the airport, go to the baggage counter, tell them you're waiting on a dog and if your puppy doesn't show up ask someone to go check for you in person. Keep asking until they do it. Bring some cleanup supplies, wipes and towels, a leash, collar and plenty of water.
