I have a little Paso Fino in Puerto Rico that I would like to bring to Florida. He weighs about 1,000 lbs, is 14 years old and in very good health. I have not been able to find any kind of estimate on how much it would cost to fly him in to the Miami Airport from San Juan, and don't know where to start searching for information. Does anyone know or have an idea? What documentation and blood tests does he need to have done to be able to enter Florida? What company can I contact to fly him in? How much would quarantine cost? Does anyone know how the quarantine station at the Miami Airport works? How long are geldings held in quarantine, on average? Can I visit him at all while he's there? (I thought not, but I've heard of quarantine stations where you can actually go and ride, but this one was in Ocala.) Estimates are fine, if anyone out there has transported their horses between San Juan and Miami. I just want to have an idea. Thank you!

here is some website on some company that transport horses horseair.com and their phone number is (787) 876-7740. and if you go to http://www.equineinfo.com/services/internationalhorsetransportation.htm this would tell you some of the requirements.

You may want to get in touch with this farm. They are a quarantine station and seem to have a lot of information regarding importing horses there in Florida. Good Luck

Lots of paperwork, lots of money, and patience. You'll need vet checks on both sides, usually it's around $6000 for shipping, and depending on where and who your horse is coming from is how long it will be in quarentine.
I've shipped Peruvian Pasos before, it's not fun, but if you have a quality horse... well worth the wait.
