Steady moves into the new place tomorrow. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Letting control of even part of his care is going to be very difficult and worriesome for me. I think I am more worried about boarding than I would be about sending my kids to daycare(something I have never done and can't imagine having to). Someone mentioned that I was brave for allowing someone to share my horse but that honestly is the least of my worries when it come to letting go of complete control of his feeding, handling, turnout, blanketing and every other aspect of his care. Good thing it is less than a 10 minute drive from my house I am going to be a complete stalker.
Not your average OTTB given another chance at a new life and a mostly average busy Mom who never gave up on her dream to ride again. An unlikely pair at an unlikely time, learning to event and loving life!
I completely know the feeling! I just moved my girl to a new barn today, and I'm relieved its over! Moving horses is stressful:( I'm sure everything will go smoothly, but good luck!
ReplyDelete10 minutes away will be a comfort - you can check on him anytime. Excited that you will have an indoor to train in for awhile!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Kelly! :)
