    Was she CB or WC? Do the horses really not get whacked around too much in transit from seahorse source? Mine are in the mail right now and I'm a nervous wreck because I've never ordered livestock online before.

    The horses I believe were net pen raised.
    As for seahorse transport, horses travel from Australia to Canada in about 28 hours and survive just fine so yours should do just fine, especially because they are coming from Seahorse Source.
    I wish we had a breeder/supplier like that in Canada.

    No they don't ship to Canada. They have enough sales just in the US to place what they breed now.
    Also, because of US and Canadian laws, paperwork is extensive with cities permits and agriculture permit required before they can be shipped.
    I believe the US government also only allows shipping them out of a few select ports of exit meaning sometimes even more shipping costs.

    Oh, I didn't even think about that. My horses are here and in the tank. They are eating like pigs already. Once I find my camera I'll take some good pics but for now you'll just have to wait (sorry Luna)
