Bring horses To Qatar

palomino's picture

Hi
I am really looking for as much information as possible.
To cut a very long story short my husband and I and my 6 year old son are coming out to Doha hopefully next month this will be our 4 visit to my husbands family there and every time we have been we just love it so this time while we are there my husband will be looking for a job and we are hoping to be moving there for good in the very near future. I have two horses that I really cannot leave behind as I want them to come and live in the sunshine with me.It is going to be a very costly and I should imagine stressful but I am willing to put them through it if I know they will have an excellent life there.
My two horses are
My 24 year old part bred Arab gelding who I have owned for the last 18 years, he is an excellent allrounder but very highly strung and needs a very experienced rider but he really enjoys being in work he hates the cold weather so I am sure he would be more than happing with the drastic change in temp to what he is used to.
My second horse is my 3 year old Palomino part bred Arab stallion, I have owned him since he was 5 months old and have had a very succesful in-hand showing career together over the last few years and we used him last year for stud work and he proved to be very popular I will be starting to back him so we will then find what sphere we will be taking for the future.
Ok here I go with my questions.
I have looked into the transportation side of things which really seem pretty straight forward but are rather expensive we are looking at around 32000.00Qr per horse but that does include there 7 day quarenteen in Doha.
Is there a choice of livery yards there and what is the quality of service of different yards?
Is full livery available which as every thing included Ie: feed, forage,mucking out, turning out and groom?
Would the yards be willing to accept a stallion(a very very well behaved one)?
What would a rough price per month per horse cost?
What quality of service to farriers offer?
Are equestrian supplies easily available?
Can horses be ridden on the sand dunes?
Can you ride anywhere or are you restricted?
Are there any shows for the breed of horses that I have?
How much for a set of shoes?
So sorry I will stop here but these are just a few of the questions that I have as I really want to find out if what I am looking at doing with my horses is realistic.
Thank you
