pony express

we had many questions while watching the game. besides wanting to know the names and numbers of the players we wanted to know the rules, when you're allowed to switch horses (which is done without even touching the ground) and how are the horses transported?

my curiosity got me to google how the horses are transported between countries. (yesterdays game was England vs. Brasil).

the horses are put into special crates that are then placed on a plane. their care taker gets a seat next to them.

check out the photos of the pony express....
