Two competent and knowledgeable drivers accompany the horses on all European journeys and can be contacted 24 hours a day. On board cameras monitor the condition of the horses at all times, allowing the drivers to react quickly to any problems that may occur. Feed and water is carried on board and special dietary needs can be catered for.
