Eurotunnel open to horse transport

In a new service launch March 1 by Eurotunnel in conjunction with Peden Bloodstock, horses can now travel in their own horseboxes, accompanied by their own grooms on the 35-minute trip. In addition, Eurotunnel has vets on standby for emergencies.

This new transport option is an alternative to the standard 90-minute ferry ride and is expected to cost about twice that of a ferry crossing.

Peden Bloodstock specialises in the movement of large groups of competition horses to and from major international events such as Olympic Games, World Championships, and Regional Championships.
