And I suppose I need to start thinking about the shipping too. Suggestions? Anyone coming this way? I'd use a commercial shipping that came recommended, although it would be nice to glom onto a trip that maybe was already coming up for Devon?!

I board relatively close to Devon, PA (about 30 minutes outside Philadelphia in Mullica Hill, NJ). No need to coordinate with the Devon dates, just thought that might mean there was a trip already coming up.

Remember, no horse is perfect, if he's sound and has been sound that says alot. I think a review of the horse's health history (vet recs) tells a better story - but it's not usually provided.

My point is - If he's young, sound, and healthy, with a good mind and willing attitude - and YOU CLICKED - well, I think the deals done. So here, congrats! :rose:

He is owned and has always been owned by Dr Flynn. This horse has had impeccable care and has a great health history. All should go great for the vetting.

Yes he is! Plus, you know he's 7 and green, not doing the regular workings or something as a 4y/o so he hasn't been pounded on. He is so gorgeous, I am so excited for you.

Thursday is just around the corner :) :one: :clap: :cheer: :hug:

Yay! Congratulations - he is really cute and what a big boy! I love his sweet face, too! I used McLemore's to haul my horse across the country, if you find that they are on the east coast soon, I would use them over any other shipper, every horse gets a box stall, air ride trailer, video cameras in the stallls so they can see the horses while they are in the cab - and they are the best people too! When my yearling got off the trailer I had so many people tell me how great she looked for having come all that way, of course my haul was light years longer than what you want to do but still keep them in mind!

Hooray, hooray! :clap: :clap:

And a big dose of :luck: :luck: :luck:

I know exactly what you mean about being on pins and needles. When I vetted Rudy a couple weeks ago, I was convinced he was going to fail. Every time I started thinking about scheduling the dentist or the farrier, or what blankets he was going to need, I wouldhave to rein myself back in so that I would be prepared if he didn't pass.

Good PPE vibes coming your way!

Oh yippee for good weather...

I have been on pins and needles and trying NOT to think about the PPE until Thursday because otherwise I am a mess :)

I miss him. Is it weird to miss a horse you don't own (yet).

Alas, I could only go down to VA for the PPE if the PPE was on a weekend. The vet didn't have weekend availiability this weekend, and I think I'd die of longing if I had to wait longer than a week. So Thursday it is and I'll have to just be sitting here in PA waiting for the call.

Good luck w/ the new horse!
