ENDURANCE & PARA FLIGHT UPDATE: It is now 16 hours since we left our Melbourne stables. Just departing Singapore on the second leg of our journey to the WEG. All horses are good, eating and drinking. Pascal (IRT expert groom) was busy adjusting stalls to let the horses put their heads down and eat from the ground and stretch a little. Julia and Kirsten have been caring for the VIPs. Worldwide PB the superstar from London has a special diet and is getting lots of attention. Hatero is a real cool dude and Comedian lives up to his name. Contraband just has not stopped eating and drinking, is such a nice horse, Shania was a little nervous but has settled in and next to Charlotte is very happy. Charlotte has done plane travel before and is more interested in the menu on offer. Hard to get apples past Comedian. This next leg is 6 hours, 10 minutes to Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, expected temperature on arrival is 45. The planes cargo is full on this sector. London Heathrow and then Normandy is still a long way off. From Peter Toft
