With just 14 days until the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, the first group of eight horses arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park on Friday afternoon.
This first group of equine athletes represent Chile and Guatemale and will compete at the Games in the World Championship of Endurance presented by Meydan. The horses have been quarantined in Miami since their flight to the United States and have traveled via trailer to Kentucky. While the athletes are not arriving with these horses, this first group of equine athletes arriving to the park signifies that the Games are getting underway!
The first of the horses from Europe will be arriving next week and will be in quarantine in Northern Kentucky.
