Moved Truman to his new barn this morning, Its a nice place and wonderful owners.
Very down to earth clean and no nonsense!
He was wired coming off the trailer but alot of that was a MINI in a round pen at the edge of the driveway. LOL
We let him have a spin in the indoor, to get the steam off. Some lovely extended trots that I sure wish I could have gotten in the Dressage ring!
he went out in a big paddock next to 5 geldings. to socialize over the fence. They were unimpressed with his stallion yells and pawing. But he never ran like a loon, after a few he wanted in with them. I am so happy that he can once again have friends and be a horse.
And did I mention over 50 acres of land and trails to boot??
And today it is 60 degrees and all is good in the world.
That was a huge worry off my shoulders! I of course forgot the camers, could have gotten some snazzy pics of him in all his glory. Owner said are you SURE hes 20?? :lol: :P

What! I did not know you were moving him. I really only peruse the Hay Loft so I am often out of the loop! How did this come about? Are you going to ride him? Inquiring and caring minds need to know! :hug:

Steph.. (Gunnar) I have always wanted to move him to a place that I could afford. If there had been other horses at friends place I would have stayed... maybe, BUT I am so happy because now I have acres and acres of trails and an indoor and outdoor, big pastures, I mean BIG, and friends for him.
He settled in beautifully. I have not seen him this happy in well almost 2 years!
Does my heart good, and its 12 miles from home and I adore the owners!
I cannot tell you what a weight is off me.
MUST take piccies! :) :P :)

That sounds perfect Sanny. Is this the barn that was going to move? This will be great for while you are at Rolex, I had been wondering who was going to look after him while you were gone. And now you will have some folks to ride with. Way more fun :clap: So happy for you both :cloud9:

No this is another barn, one that is much closer to home and much nicer.
And this morning I am happy to report barn owner said he acted like he had lived there forever, he now has a 32 yr old paint with him until another horse leaves in the big pasture then he will be with them.
He walked up to get his carrot when I was there and his eyes are soft again, no more white showing. HE always looked stressed when he was alone.
I feel so relieved now! And next week we will start to ride again. its beautiful now but I figure he can relax and enjoy horsey heaven.. Or Equine Eden as it is aptly named! :cloud9:
