The transport of horses by sea must be planned carefully to ensure that the horses will keep fit. These horses are not only top competitors, but also worth of enormous amount of money. Finnlines’ long experience is an asset especially when these type of horses are transported. Some horses are relaxed travellers, others may suffer from stress during the passage.
