See full version: What’s The Best Way To Transport A Horse Overseas
With advances in modern technology, the advent of the internet, and cheaper fights the world has become a much smaller place these days, that is until you decide to take your horse overseas. There are a number of ways a horse can travel overseas but the most popular way (and the best for the horse) is by plane. This is because horses can suffer from seasickness but, unlike us don’t get jetlag. They’re also able to sleep during a plane journey. more
While cats and dogs are able to take medication to help them deal with seasickness sadly there’s no pharmaceutical option for horses. Instead, you can use things such as lavender oil to help keep the horse calm. You can either use a diffuser, spray a little in the trailer or try rubbing some on your horse’s halter. Research carried out at the University of Arizona showed that lavender can help to lower a horse’s heart rate and help to keep them calm.
By far the most common way that horses are transported overseas is by air, it’s quicker, safer, and better for the horse than any other method of transportation but how do the horses actually travel?

Exploring the vast world away from the safety of your home can be better done with a trusty companion by your side, like a horse. You may be able to jump on any horse in the wild, but taming it and making it your own requires patience and can lead to unlocking unique actions. Horses spawn in plains and savannahs in a variety of colors and once you’ve found one that you’d like to tame, your next step is to mount it and get thrown off a couple of times in succession until you see hearts over the horse meaning it has been tamed.
After you’ve found a saddle for your steed, you can ride it anywhere you want. Riding a horse means faster traveling speed and bigger jumps than the player, helping you navigate the world easily. And while it can still be ridden in 2 blocks deep water, anything more and the player is automatically dismounted. The perfect solution to carrying your horse over a span of deep water is to use a boat. You can either tow the horse behind the boat or have it sat in the boat and use the lead to tow the boat yourself.

Moving horses from place to place is recorded to occur as far back in history as 3,500 years. At that time, horses were transported by sea and either were confined in boxes to the bowels of the boat or placed in slings on the deck of the boat. Even then, it was noted that transport was a stressful event that came with inherent health risks, and with a high mortality rate in horses shipped below deck. (Boats of that time were assumed to have extremely poor ventilation below deck.) It was noted that horses shipped on the deck, in the open air, survived the journey better than those below deck. In addition, it appears that the first reported research regarding horse transport was performed by General William Carter of the United States Army Veterinary Corps. Carter, who was in charge of transporting the Army’s horses to the Philippines by sea in the early 1900s, experimented with various methods of tethering. Carter’s studies led to the discontinued use of slings for the support of horses in transit. There is an excellent series of drawings depicting the early sea-transport of horses on display in the museum at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. [links]

Loading is considered to be one of the most stressful aspects of transportation. more
Answer
Unless you fall into one of the exemption/exception provisions and be able to verify that you should be included in the exemption, you must be able to present to the officer a card or certificate that indicates that you have completed and passed a NASBLA approved boating course, or that you have passed the equivalency exam. here
Answer
It applies to public waters of the Commonwealth. This includes the river systems (both fresh and tidal water), the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay, waters up to 3 miles off the Virginia coast, the Virginia portion of any lakes shared with an adjoining state, and most of the lakes wholly located in Virginia. It should be noted, however, that there are some lakes in Virginia that are not public (Lake Caroline and Lake Monticello for example immediately come to mind) and the requirement would not apply on those lakes. Boaters should check with private lake authorities to determine if there are requirements for the particular private lake. The law also does not apply to private lakes and ponds on personal property.
Question 13
What’s the penalty if I do not comply with this law?
Answer
No – you must participate in the training program offered by the boat or jetski rental business. They will provide you with the documentation you need to comply with Virginia’s education requirement. more
Question 1
I have heard that the 2007 Session of the Virginia General Assembly passed a law that will require Virginia boaters to take a boating course. Why does Virginia need this law?
