WorldRides Video: Equine Airlift Unloads Precious Horses in Hong Kong
This narrationless video was spliced together by the Hong Kong Jockey Club so you can all see how the horses are off-loaded from the cargo "stall" containers and immediately transferred to waiting air-conditioned horse vans.
The footage was shot on one of the first flights and shows the Dutch dressage team horses arriving. (You know that, from reading this blog, because you can see the orange t-shirts!)
The process is still going on! The man in the blue shirt and khaki pants is Martin Atock, the transport mastermind for airlift managers Peden Bloodstock. I wonder if Martin has been kicked yet...
