More than 500 horses competing at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, will pass through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (it’s actually in Kentucky) en route to the Kentucky Horse Park. 

The European and British competitors will fly into Cincinnati from September 16 to October 1, where they’ll do their mandatory quarantine time at a temporary quarantine facility at the airport. (Cincinnati is not a regular quarantine facility.) They they’ll be vanned to the Horse Park, which is approximately a 90-minute drive to the south.

Earlier this week, before horses began to arrive, WEG organizers held a brief tour of the quarantine facility for media. For those of us who couldn’t be there, they released this photo of the stabling area. (Let’s hope none of the occupants is overly rambunctious, judging from the not-too-sturdy look of these tent stalls.)
