"China's horse industry is good and growing, and every year we export a bit more horses," said Peter van Nieuwenborg, export manager of Horse Service International, a Dutch company which has been engaged in transporting horses from Europe to China for two decades.
"It takes still a lot of time before the horse gets to China, but those are the rules," added Nieuwenborg. “At this moment we don't face any major difficulties in exporting horses to China."
