After the luxury of 1.5 hours of sleep we are back on the road with ITD (Road Transport Inspection) officers to check on transports leaving the Skaryszew horse market. We witness cases of too big animals transported in too small lorries, trailers in bad technical condition and problematic international transport that leaves the market without proper documentation (it was impossible to obtain the documentation at the market). ITD impose fines, we will be writing complaints to relevant authorities. The highlight of the day was the transport of horses belonging to cavalry re-enactment group, returning home after a show. We were very happy to see calm horses transported in an old, but well-maintained truck.
