So I found a great place where she would live out in a really large paddock with shelter. They agreed to turn her out each day and even set her up on a plan to have her grazing time gradually increased each week while she got used to the grass.
She settled in immediately. I have to say, this horse has an enormous sense of adventure! She took the move with such good spirit. Always interested in the night's location, never stressing. She really was a good traveler (despite not drinking in the trailer). I'm sure she was happy to stay put though!
Right off the bat it seemed like she was gaining back any weight lost on the drive. We waited about a week and then started slowly back into a riding routine. (Both of us were out of shape since June didn't allow much time for riding.)
Our favorite thing was this huge grassy field. It was the best place to ride. Plus with the heat and humidity, my only choice was to come close to sunset and the light actually made for a well lit area to ride even after it was fully dark.
Welcome To The Midwest! A Week Ago It Was Hot And Humid And Tonight It Is snowing! I Always Feel Bad For People Who Come From Places Like California To Here Cause It Has To Be A Rude Awakening.
ReplyDeleteYes, people are always shocked that we moved! We at least knew what we were getting into, the poor pony though had no warning and no choice!
