oh my, shows how long it's been since i kept up with what the team does!!!
Used to be charters...from the companies that fly racehorses.
I didn't know the Team flew all the horses, just the jumpers.....I seem
to remember some of the dressage people having to make their own
arrangements........but again, it's years since I was involved in the horse
world!!!
