Shipping a Horse to China

Have you ever gotten nervous trailering your horse to Rock Creek or Kalama Horse Camp? I'll admit it ... I have!

So imagine what it must be like to transport your horse to China for the Olympics. These multi-million dollar horses are transported 1/2 way around the world, and then expected to perform in top form.

PRI Internationals The World had a great radio program about this very topic (Aug. 1st - about 42:45 mins into the program for the GeoQuiz).

219 horses from 48 countries make their way to Hong Kong for these Olympic events. So what exactly does it take not only to get the horses to China but to keep these horses comfortable and in top shape? Did you know this process starts at least 67 days prior to the Olympics?

To find out more information, take a listen for yourself. It's truly an amazing undertaking.
