He’s Back!

Shane Rose’s star Virgil is home safely thanks to our air freight partner Equine International Airfreight (EIAF). The recent winner of the Blair Castle (CIC3 *) leg of the Event Rider Masters Series in the UK enjoyed a comfortable long-haul trip after being served by first class grooms that attended to his every need.

And by all reports, he was a pleasure to have on board.

“Virgil was an absolute model horse for transportation. He loaded onto the aircraft in London without fuss and settled in comfortably, eating and drinking regularly on the long flight to Australia.”

“Once landed in Melbourne, he walked out of his air stable, was checked by DAWR Officers before being loaded onto a truck to Mickleham. His behaviours and demeanour throughout the journey matched the class of horse he is,” said EIAF’s Managing Director Cameron Croucher.

An Australian reserve at the 2016 Olympics, Virgil was precious cargo and owners Shane Rose and Michelle Hasibar are pleased to have their champion back home safely. Virgil returned to his Australian home Bimbadeen Park in NSW on Saturday.
