How long is the quarantine if I purchase an Australian horse and want to bring it back to the UK or anywhere in Europe?
Horses leaving Australia bound for the UK need to do a pre-export quarantine in Australia for 30 days. During this time they will have some routine blood tests. This quarantine can often be done at the seller's property if they adhere to AQIS's criteria. A day or so prior to departure the horse will move closer to the airport for a few more health and well being checks to make sure he is in peak condition to travel.
