About us

A transport company built on horsemanship.

We did not start with trucks. We started with horses — and that order still decides everything we do.

Our story

From the stable, to the road.

Appelman Transport grew out of a life spent in and around the arena — training, competing and caring for sport horses at the highest level. Moving horses well was never an afterthought; it was part of looking after them properly.

Over the years that experience turned into a simple conviction: a horse should arrive in the same condition it left, calm in body and mind. Too many journeys treat the horse as cargo. We treat the journey as part of its care.

Today we move sport and leisure horses across Europe for stables, breeders, dealers and private owners — combining genuine horsemanship with equipment and routes built for comfort. Every booking is handled personally, by people who would be just as careful with their own.

What we hold to

Four things we will not compromise.

i.

The horse first

Every decision — route, pace, rest — is made for the animal, not the schedule.

ii.

Calm over speed

We move smoothly and patiently. A horse that travels relaxed is a horse that arrives sound.

iii.

Quiet discretion

Confidential, careful movements for valuable horses and the people who own them.

iv.

Straight answers

Clear plans, clear pricing and honest updates from the moment you ask.

The people on the ramp

Horsemen first, drivers second.

The most important equipment on any transport is the person at the ramp. Ours are experienced with horses of every temperament — they know when to wait, when to reassure, and when to simply give the horse a moment.

That judgement is what separates a smooth journey from a stressful one, and it is the part of this work we are proudest of.

Let's plan a journey worthy of your horse.
