A variety of different Australian horses are purchased from Singapore investors and annually a cargo plane with up to 50 horses are flown from Sydney Airport to Manilla Airport. The horses range from race horses to miniature ponies to Clydesdales. A mission like this takes meticulous planning. Cameron from Equine International Airfreight won’t let one piece of incorrect paperwork stall his mission. Each horse has its own documentation, if one paper is scrutinised by customs it will mean game over for the mission. Even the custom designed horse crates are scrutinised by officials. The final veterinary checks are undertaken by a government vet at quarantine and the horses are washed prior to the trip. The first leg of the journey is a one-hour drive on a convoy of four semi-trailers moving from quarantine to the airport. But no matter how careful Cameron has been with his planning, there are things beyond his control. A late truck driver means hitting Sydney peak hour traffic. The plane transporting the horses is delayed offloading its cargo. A horse crate is placed incorrectly in the cargo hold and a horse that refuses to enter his crate.
