We arrive on time and unhurried, learn your horse from your team, and load with patience — never pressure.
Premium equine transport — across Europe
Every journey, handled like the horse is our own.
Appelman Transport moves sport and leisure horses across Europe with air-ride comfort, climate control and experienced horsemen at every mile.
The calmest mile is the one the horse never notices. That is the standard we drive to.
A horse reads everything — the brake, the bend, the temperature, the voice at the ramp. We build every transport around that sensitivity, so what arrives is a horse that is settled, sound and ready.
From a single foal to a full stable move, across one border or six, we treat each booking as a private commission rather than a load on a manifest.

Onboard monitoring
Live cameras let the team see every horse at every moment of the journey.
Comfort
Padded individual stalls
Non-slip flooring and generous, partitioned stalls give each horse room to balance.

Experienced grooms
Horsemen who read the small signs and adjust the plan before they become problems.
Trust
Tracked & insured
GPS-tracked routes and full transit insurance, with updates whenever you want them.
Where we go
One continent, no awkward handovers.
From the Dutch heartland we run regular routes through the Low Countries, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and beyond — single horses sharing a well-planned route, or a private journey arranged around your dates.
Tell us where the horse is and where it needs to be. We handle the route, the rest stops, the paperwork and the borders, and keep you informed from ramp to ramp.
The promise
“Where sport and passion travel together — and arrive unhurt, unhurried, unchanged.”
