Area VI FedEx’s Their Horses to Lexington

By Pat Kennedy

The journey for the Area VI team horses to Lexington, Kentucky for the 2011 Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships officially started on Saturday morning at 2:00 AM with a road trip to LAX. At 3:45 AM the crew met us at the FedEx loading area to help get things in order for our 6:00 AM flight. We quickly realized with all of the AREA VI equipment in one place, WE HAD A LOT! They managed to squeeze it all in. Once everyone was loaded, the two horse containers with three horses each were connected and towed to the tarmac to load on the Jet.
