It’s Boggle day 
? 4am and I’m wide awake! Cup of coffee and some Netflix I think, going for a “hike” this morning.
He does look pretty good doesn’t he, there must have been grooming him etc! I love that he’s waltzed through this whole thing with that bold little attitude of his.
As ESW said, he will be happy to run his new barn soon ?.

So excited for him to arrive! (I started viewing this thread thinking yay good luck bog but not too invested, but now I can’t wait to see him in his new home! He’s always been one of my faves, him and Mimosa!)

I don't have any...except for one that's kind of crap when he landed. That's what you get and pay thousands and go for one of the biggest names in the business (Dutta). I don't even know if my horse is out of quarantine. No PoC on a Saturday, no notification. About to call the layover stable and confirm that he's there.
They'll take your money and do "door to door" service, as in your horse will get there, but who knows when or how. ?

Anymore news where yours is CC, hard to interpret that photo, but he does look bright and interested though.
What's the ETA of Boggle - in UK time ...we are waiting (impatiently) !

Boggle eta 4 hours. So here’s an emotion I wasn’t expecting- I am nervous! I woke up this morning to a Wtf have I done spending so much money shipping my horse across the world and doing this to him when I haven’t even been here a week. And wtf am I doing full stop. That feeling has kinda gone but.. yeh I’m nervous. Nervous at what I’m putting him through and worried incase he hates it here or something happens and I’ll never forgive myself! Nervous about the barn and not seeing him daily (I’m in Idaho for two days next week). Just a mini meltdown really!
I think I’ll need a gin before he gets here. On a better note I went for a beautiful two hour hike this morning and just… wow.

Don't worry, you have just got a Boggle wobble!
It will pass once he arrives, just think how you would feel if you left him behind where you couldn't check he was getting your standard of care, and i am so jealous of your new riding country.

I think it’s a full on wobble as well as my housemates had some friends over last night (two couples) who were lovely but I suddenly got that super weird lonely feeling where everyone’s a bit different, no one knows you and you aren’t around people who know you inside out.
But I’ve been riding a week long high (bar Bog stress) so was bound to happen. All part of the journey, character building ?
For sure you are right and tbh I’d have been miserable without him. I can be without the dog (even though it sucks) but I can’t be without that damn horse! So if we go back again it’s nearly 40k well spent for.. mental health? Lol.

Mental health is priceless.

I think that is normal. Totally understandable to have some nervousness, it's a big change!
I'm so happy for you and Bog to be reunited though!
Mine is at a layover facility and I'm on my way up. Will stay at hotel overnight, then hopefully will be on the road with Ronaldo bright and early.

I could. It'll be really boring because he's barely 1.5 yrs old and mostly just doing some growing this winter. I do have 2 other horses to exercise though.

Can’t wait for Bog update. I’ve to get up early for a flight (a sin on a Sunday I’m sure!) so at least I have that to look forward to ?
In all seriousness, I’m excited for you and your doubts and feelings are all totally normal when making a big decision. I have every faith that you’ve made the right decision!!

Ronnie... I still don't know if he's a Ronnie. I'd rather a strong Spanish name, but he was born a Ronaldo. ?

Tbh other than unpacking my big box which is a ten min job there’s nothing I can really do! And I feel kinda shy and nervous haha! Just waiting for an update from the driver. Going to go to the store in a min and get him a bag of nice food as an extra thank you.
