How the horses travel to the FEI World Equestrian Games™ | Tryon 2018 

The horses are generally very chill on board. If there are grooms travelling, they check the horses during the flight ever so often together with the loadmaster (if any on board).

That’s when you thank your sponsors lol

@@harinu9339 wealthy sponsors/parents lol

Hiii what airline do you fly them on? What other costs are there? How to the horses take the pressure change and take off? How much food and water do they get? I would like to know as much as possible about the process as I need to ship my horse from Spain to South africa.

Much like any plane crash?

You have a bigger chance getting struck by lighting than getting in a plane crash

I know, its just a thought 👌

Kain but no one survives plane catastrophe

Dark Emporer Actually, a lot of people do. Depends on the pilots.

No in-flight movie tho

Yeah bc walking a horse on a airport runway is always a brilliant idea !

Wie will man sie dann auf langen Strecken transportieren? Oder sogar zwischen den Kontinenten? Mit dem Schiff würde es Tage dauern.

There are natural ways to calm a horse ie using a humane twitch. Drugs not permitted for sport horses, but yes a horse will be put down if necessary, not with a bolt gun but with a needle.

When I shipped my Morgan from the US to Europe I had to sign off on them being allowed to either euthanize or tranquilize them. You can't tranquilize a horse in flight because the air is so thin anyway, they end up not getting enough oxygen. But you usually only ship top trained horses anyhow.

Why? THey were chilled and arrived safely.

Sarah Gilles The stress

they were chilled

henriette oakheart and? what about the pressure?

pressure? Air pressure? How do you think humans survive

Whats the point of your message?

So i guess you'd leave your own horse behind if you'd have to move.Or proabably never participate in competitions.Just because omg its so cruel to do this to horses.I don't think its cruel at all,its one way to transport your horse overseas.You can chose to go by boat fine by me but thats gonna take a month instead of 9h btw :) 9hours is a piece of cake from a horse's life, not to mention they're being treated well in there and given food.

You can hear at the documentation there are climate at 14-17 degrees Celsius which ist hot at all...

+Naila MM yes it is. doesn't matter it's bad

I get you are trying to be nice but these horses love competing and traveling and it’s not cruelty would you stop your horse from doing what he/her loves. This is not hate I just wanted to share my opinion but it’s 2018 so...... I guess opinion sharing is illegal because you just get hate oh and I subbed to u

They sometimes feed them apples on the depart , for the ear pressure.

It’s a 9 hour flight they don’t need that much food

I was thinking same. Disappointed there was no in-flight footage. The take-off in particular would have been interesting to see. With the steep ascent, I wonder if they load the horses facing backwards?

@@albertoc2046 they have constant free choice hay. Most travellers do.

@@polomare2027 Great point!! What direction are they loaded. How do they handle the air pressure?

It's just a portable stall. Maybe not as large as what these horses are used too on a daily basis, but if they can ride in a trailer I don't think they really care.

These horses are used to stalls and long journeys in lorries, so they are not claustrophobic, especially as there are several of them in the containers, which reassures them! No horse is born claustrophobic, it becomes so if it has been mistreated or if it has had a traumatizing accident. And everything is meticulously prepared in advance so that there are no worries during the journey, sometimes painter's tape is put on the leg protections, because if they slip or come off during the journey it will be complicated to put them back. And the video is about horse travel, there are millions of other horse videos on RU-vid if you want to see some

It is interesting how they transport the horse...but how must the horse lie down... walk around when in that small area...and remember it is for 9 hours sometimes longer...

Skye Rall They need to be tied down for their own safety. It would be a disaster if a horse would freak out and have enough room for an example to rear and get their foot caught to something. Horses sleep standing up most of the time anyway and It doesn't harm them.

Skye Rall It’s literally the same thing as a trailer, some people drive all the way from ( exemple ) Germany to Sweden and that takes way longer all tho you can take small breaks and stop att horse hotels when you are driving.

Skye Rall Humans sit for long hours on international flights confined to an increasingly smaller space (size of seat, leg room), with the ability to go to the restroom as needed. Not a lot of difference.

Kain ummmmmmm plane

Thousands*

Oh, they know

Katie 10 Carpe Diem! If you aren’t traveling enough, then change that!!!

THEN GO TRAVEL THE WAY THEY DO.

This is N.C. THE Royal family of Dubai has horse farms there so they probably didn't have to fly any horses from home

Heddy St George Sheikh Hamdan and the UAE team took 10 horses from Dubai to NC for the Endurance Championships. His horses have their own Emirates aircraft that they share with Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin stable.

Rebekah Bridges-Tervydis That was not the PURPOSE of this particular video. There probably IS a video that looks at the trip from the point of view of the grooms, vets, and other care givers. Maybe someone is doing an in-depth study of the entire process following the horses from when they leave their home stable, throughout the trip, during the competition, and the return trip. In reality, this kind of thing happens literally all the time. There are competitions all over the world where horses are transported. There are equestrian events at every summer Olympic Games. It you are inferring that the horses are mistreated in any way, you are way off. They will not drug THESE horses because these horses are accustomed to this kind of transport. Drugging them might make them more likely to “lose their balance.” This is NOT a once in a lifetime event for the horses or the people. As far as “corporate protocols,” these horses are not owned by profit making corporations. They are are owned, tended, trained, and ridden by individuals, sometimes several individuals because of the expense. These horses cannot win competitions unless they get the best of everything all the time. I used to have show dogs, Standard Poodles. My first champion LOVED everything about going to a show. The preparation, the travel, the shows (where dozens of people petted and kissed her), everything. How do I know this? When she “retired” from showing, I had another dog I was taking to shows. She knew what was happening as I made preparations for the trip and got really excited. When I left without her, she was so let down. When I got home, she would ignore me for a couple days.

How about, "it's none of your business" what goes on with people's personal horses that are preparing for competition?

Jen Springer : So snotty. It was a fair question. FFS you are wrapped pretty tight!

There's very little chance of them being sedated with veterinary sedation unless absolutely necessary. These horses must NOT have sedation in their blood during the competition and most take a long time to finish cycling within the body so would make them not eligible to compete

LucyBluePaddy thank you for your answer. NOW that’s interesting that there can’t be sedation in the blood of the horses. Thanks again!

Emma Robloxgood ngl that would be a very repetitive job, your probably not allowed pet the horses..

Emma Robloxgood : Good luck getting to work with horses in the Emirates. It is a Muslim country. Girls are not treated equally.

Zero Hedge not entirely true for the ex-pats. Quite a few ex-pats work there.

Es ist jedenfalls ungefährlicher für Pferde als mit dem Hänger zu fahren

Das gleiche wie bei Menschen...

Amazing!Sorry just the fact I have a palomino Welsh b too!

You are wrong
