IRT, a global leader in the transportation of horses, is celebrating 50 years of pioneering success in the air freight business.

Founded in Australia by Quentin Wallace, IRT now maintains offices in five different countries and employs better than 100 people globally.

“For over 50 years now, our view has been to treat horses under our care, as if they are our own,” said IRT Managing Director Chris Burke. “Safety, compliance and operational excellence is first and foremost in everything that we do. Our clients trust us with the transport of their horses and everyone in our team is dedicated to ensuring the safe arrival of each and every horse under our care, to its final destination.”

In celebrating its own achievements, IRT is also recognizing 'under-the-radar' contributors: the grooms, loading staff, airport operators, veterinarians, and owners and trainers who have turned to IRT for their transport needs.

Added Burke: “Without Quentin's vision and, the dedication of all of the staff and people connected with IRT throughout our 50-year journey, we wouldn't be able to celebrate such outstanding success.”
