Tim Oltmann knows his way around heavy cargo. As managing director of a logistics company specialising in project cargo, the Transport Overseas Group, he has also recently established close business contacts in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). So far, this has mainly involved rolling units and metro wagons, which the Bremen logistics service provider has already shipped there in large numbers.<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the year, the entrepreneur had a new idea. \u201cMy travels have shown me that the Emiratis are true horse lovers and that equestrian sports are very popular there,\u201d he tells us. \u201cHowever, the climate in the UAE makes breeding difficult \u2013 it\u2019s just too hot for pregnant mares.\u201d This is why most of the horses sold to the UAE are bred and trained in the UK and France, and sent over there when they are around three.<\/p>\n
Oltmann believes this should also be possible in Bremen and quickly bought two dressage horses that are now being professionally trained. His interest is not only sporting and financial. \u201cHuman-equine interaction, how that bond develops, I find that exciting,\u201d he explains. Oltmann quickly added more animals \u2013 now he has eleven. \u201cFour are broodmares, two are show horses and the other five are very young. Two per year will be trained for equestrian sports.\u201d<\/p>\n
Things are set to begin in April this year. \u201cI want to present the first horses at a show here in Germany,\u201d he tells us. If things go well, he will sell them to Dubai in October. When the German season ends, the Emirati season is just beginning. He constantly keeps his contacts in Dubai informed on how training is progressing. Emirati demand for sport horses has increased recently \u2013 riding horses are even more sought-after due to the pandemic, as many leisure activities were temporarily banned and people are more interested in outdoor sports than before. This has made the prices correspondingly high.<\/p>\n
If he can sell a horse in the UAE this year, Oltmann can count on the expertise of one of the few Wildeshausen logistics experts to specialise in horses. After a thorough medical examination and a two to three-week quarantine, the horse is flown from Amsterdam to Dubai by cargo plane, accompanied by a human escort.<\/p>\n
To ensure the long-term success of this venture, Oltmann recently bought a farm with three hectares of land and 20 horseboxes near Bremen. \u201cThe Emiratis have never experienced such green pastures,\u201d he smiles.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the UAE has long since become synonymous with a top equestrian event by hosting the \u2018Dubai World Cup\u2019. Who knows? Maybe there will be some German racehorses there in the future. If this is the case, Oltmann will, of course, transport the animal cargo weighing around 800 kilos himself.
