They act like no one has ever shipped before and people eat it right up. It's pretty amazing.

She shipped in April for the Apple Blossom and she's going to ship again in November for the BC Classic. Shipping across the country twice in a year is a reasonable amount.
With regards to horses shipping in general, it really depends on the horse. But even if a horse was a great shipper, I probably wouldn't ship the horse across the country more than 3 times in a year.
With regard to keeping the horse in Kentucky for 5 weeks, if you know John Shireffs you wouldn't have any doubt that he would be uncomfortable with that. The guy is incredibly anal and wants to oversee everything. I don't think that's a negative. It's good that he is so conscientious.
