Barney you're thinking the right way but you haven't factored in our quaint
quarantine laws on our island.

Horses, of which you seem to have plenty, are necessarily quarantined for 6
months before they can land. As a matter of idle fact - when Melbourne held
the Olympics in 1956 the equestrian events had to be held in (I think)
Malaysia to overcome this problem.

There are some exceptions/exemptions now with race horses and I guess we
could certainly classify yours as race horses.

I'll make some enquiries today.

Well done Barney.

Paul
