Import & Export Quarantine

Our farm is a U.S.D.A. approved equine pre-export isolation quarantine facility as well as a C.E.M. quarantine facility for mares and stallions. We are conveniently located on I-75, between the Miami Import Airport and the Tampa/Sarasota area.

Quarantine Stalls, pastures, and treatment area are fully separated from training and therapy areas and boarding stalls. We will never board more than 3 quarantine horses at a time, therefore horses and owners will be able to enjoy the tranquility of our beautiful natural setting. Quarantine visitation is permitted at the discretion of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Orange Clover Farms.

 

C.E.M. Quarantine Services Include:

Quarantine board in hurricane safe concrete stalls with stallion doors, automatic waterers, overhead fans, fly-control system, StableComfort seamless stall mats

Quality feed and hay

Daily turnout in individual grass pastures with automatic waterers and hay stations

( Stallions: Lease, quarantine board, and breeding of two test mares )

Owner will pay Veterinarian directly for all required C.E.M. cultures and procedures.

Owner is responsible for State of Florida Veterinary fee.

Quarantine

All horses permanently leaving the United States are required to undergo 30 day pre-export isolation quarantine.

All mares and stallions more than 2 years of age (731 days), entering the United States, are required to undergo quarantine and testing for Contagious Equine Metritis. C.E.M. quarantine must take place at an officially U.S.D.A. prescribed facility.

Please contact us directly or through your shipper for set up of the required quarantine procedures for your imported or export horses.

On receipt of your signed contract we will prepare and then send to you all necessary laboratory and veterinary health administration documentation. We aim to make procedures as easy and comfortable as possible for you.

All horses must undergo standard arrival quarantine near the airport. This will take 2 to 3 days in most cases. We will then organize the transport to our location in a sealed trailer.

Mares:  Will undergo several cultures and testing.

Stallions:  Stallions have to cover two mares, obtained especially for that purpose, and must undergo a special testing program together with these mares.

*Regulations concerning import regulations and other mandatory requirements are subject to change without notice from the local authorities; therefore we will provide current guidelines at time of order.
