Elise’s guest today is Sabine Grebe, Lufthansa Cargo’s Animal Lounge Chief, at the Frankfurt International Airport in Germany.   As the gateway for most horses going into Germany and Europe, as well as those leaving Europe for international travel, Lufthansa Cargo’s Frankfurt Animal Lounge handles horses of all breeds, disciplines, and training — from elite FEI and Olympic equine competitors to wild Mustangs, fresh off the range.  More than 2,000 horses are transported in and out of Frankfurt every year — and, in addition to that, Sabine and staff are also taking care of over 15,000 pets, 80 million fish, and 150 zoo animals... including tigers.   From riding in full cowboy regalia in a Bandera, Texas, Memorial Day parade to providing meticulous and knowledgeable care for all of the animals in her charge, Sabine's story is fun and fascinating. So, if you've ever thought about shipping a horse by air — even if you're just wondering how it's done — this is the episode for you.   Topics of Discussion: [:45] About Elise’s guest today, Sabine Grebe. [1:18] Sabine shares the story of when Lufthansa handled a herd of wild Mustangs coming from the U.S. into Germany.
