FW: [RC] horse boarding in Tripoli, Libya? - Mike SherrellGood point. Bringing a horse back from Mexico entails 2 weeks' quarantine in a government facility in LA, near as I could make out from the government websites. Nixed a trip I had in mind.

There is another consideration. Even assuming that you want to take the horse to Libya, this sounds like a military tour - maybe 2 years? What about bringing the horse BACK? There are diseases which may preclude being able to re-import the horse, if the horse has become a carrier in the meantime. In that case, I would rather leave the horse behind in the US, rather than leave it behind in Libya... On Aug 27, 2008, at 12:48 PM, Maryanne Gabbani wrote: Nope. She's absolutely right to try to nail down as much as possible before going. Simply showing up with a horse at an airport in the Middle East is seriously not advisable. You have to have an address for quarantine and kilos of paperwork. It's fairly easy for the people taking their horses to Dubai because the hosts there run the country and have put the word out to facilitate everything. And "everywhere else in the world" doesn't necessarily have farms and ranches that you'd just want to put a horse on. We have some nice Arabian stud farms here but they wouldn't take in a strange horse, nor would I necessarily want to have my horses there. 99.99% of all the horses in Egypt live in small boxes rather than paddocks or, heaven forbid!, a field. Put a horse with your average farmer in Egypt and kiss it good bye. Horses here are either put in little boxes or tethered to stakes on "farms"...which here can be as small as half an acre. Maryanne who has a "big" 2.5 acre farm and even paddocks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
