Late last week, the first group of eight horses for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park. This first group of equine athletes will compete at the Games in the World Championship of Endurance presented by Meydan, representing Chile and Guatemala.

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 this week and will be in quarantine in Northern Kentucky.
