Altair, our new mare, has spent the last three weeks in quarantine in the UK. This morning she was loaded onto the plane and, along with another PRE mare and foal owned by NSW breeder Michael Rodriguez, is now mid-air! They are due to arrive approx 12.00pm tomorrow (Saturday 29th).
Altair will be held in quarantine at the Eastern Creek station until late September. After this she will be transported to our property and remain there in quarantine until one month after she has foaled (she's due late April 2010). Our plan is to hopefully use the last of our frozen Clasico MAC semen on her late next year.
The photo below was taken the day she arrived in the UK after her three day truck ride from Spain.
