Of the 10,000 elite athletes competing in the Rio Olympics, it's safe to assume none travelled here more comfortably and with more pampering than the 229 horses in the Equestrian events. These "equine athletes," as they are referred to, did not fly coach. They did not stand in long security lines, face flight delays or have to bring their own snacks on board. They flew here nonstop from Miami, London and Liege, Belgium, in customised stalls on 767 and 777 cargo planes that accommodate up to 34 horses per flight. The transport reportedly costs between US$20,000 to US$25,000 (NZ$28,000 to $35,000) per horse, and most of that is covered by the Olympic Organising Committee.

She is one of the reasons why coach John Anzrah was so desperate to travel to Rio even without accreditation. Given her name and current location, I think she is from the BaKongo people of Angola as opposed to the Bakongo of Zaire or Congo -Brazza
