I spent a chunk of my childhood on an air base in the great state of Illinois, now those winters are seriously harsh and without the skiing/scenery!? I remember siding down the ice on the garden and not being able to get back to the house.

Well, now I have to put you on UI because you mentioned winter. I'm in absolute denial of its existence and refuse to engage with those who mention it. ?

Last night it was - 7°C (WTAF) but this Saturday it will be 28°

??‍♀️

I do worry about frigid temps and ice storms. Fortunately a stable is available should I want to put my horse in one. Otherwise he lives out.

The barn where Boggle is heading feeds some kinda special/different mash when there is going to be a wild temp fluctuation.. can't remember what it was but I'll find out!

There are no barns that fancy around here ?

Maybe an hour or so away, closer to the city.

I think this BO would find me a bit much if I fed a mash, but I'd do it anyway.

Our barns are going to be on 2 different ends of the spectrum. Even though mine is "nice" for around here. Then again, I was mostly looking for a big field (this one is 30 some odd acres), 24/7 hay, water, and a nice herd with good fencing. Just for growing up purposes. They do have some small, newer, and well kept facilities though.

I also get a bit emotional when horses load. I think it is a throw back to those times when Granny horse took four hours to load or didn't load at all. ? I get flash backs to the sense of complete relief when all four hooves totter up the ramp!

Boggle being a Good Pony is a very sweet video.

I think it sets me off even more because he was SUCH a nightmare about travelling. Never to load but once on. Even a pro couldn't sort it out. And now I know he will be absolutely fine, because he's been taught that he's always going to be absolutely fine and once he realised that he never questioned it again.

He was such a little fighter when he arrived and had no faith in anything anyone asked him to do that he was suspicious of and now he is the kind of horse you would ride into battle. He has such utter trust when it matters despite being a sharp hot head. That said, a change in colour of the hedge along a canter stretch, not so much...

I can't believe how invested I am in someone elses horse who I've never met! I can't even imagine how you're managing a new job and tracking Boggle Airways at the same time. I was a nervous wreck when mine went on a ferry to get to me never mind flying.

I can't wait for him to get to you so we can have photos of Bog in his new home. I hope you both have an amazing time and great adventures together!
