I’m glad to say the horses had a better trip than some of the riders!

After two hours of sleep we left Georgia, and the flies, in a three-trailer caravan with vet Brendan Furlong following close behind.

We arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park around 8.30 a.m. After various security checks the horses were unloaded and in their stalls by 9:15. Dougie Hannum had done the most amazing job of preparing our barn. He repainted all our stalls with flags, banners and trunks galore, so no one can miss the Americans when they pass.
