Well, now I decided to get the horse, I had to provide for him......
So I went of to the local sale and bought 40 bales of horsehage.. £200 just the tip of the iceberg...
Next was bagged feed, Non heating, Electric fencing, fortunately we have some left over from the pigs.. and clearing his paddock...
A week of preparations soon fled by... the day he was due to arrive Wales and Lake Vyrnwy were hit b 78mph winds.... not a good day to move my new love in a borrowed horse trailer.. So had to postpone for a day... £30 of diesel to come and go, and Kiah and there groom Amy Skillfully loading him, It was official I had a horse...
Ever so carefully we drove home, so excited, watching for every bump in the road... I had decided to unload him about a mile from home and walk him the last stretch to tire him out before we put him in his new field....
Unloading...
Gingerly we opened the back door, and carefully backed him out.... he was rather stressed by the journey and on his toes, he look all around him, and I swallowed down my fear and walked him home through the forest, half way you could see him relax, he still was marching and had no time what so ever to chill and take it easy, he was no plod, so eager to go, go, GO!!!! Very wound up and intense...
Arriving...
We carefully went past the digger, the flappy old sign, suddenly I was seeing though horse eyes again, seeing all potential horse dangers and freaks....
He was ok but a bit freaked by the scrap of of a yard, and looked at the German Shepherd... Put him in his field, where upon he didn't wont to be left... every time one of us walked off he wasn't having it...he threatened to jump out, we took time and slowly moved away one by one... until just I was left with him... sitting on a chair chatting to him, he still didn't want me to go, so I brought him his hard feed and gently eased away.... Off we went to return the Trailer...
We left him to settle ... night night horse...
