Its a different kind of love. I assume how people have more than one child and love them the same.
Never thought I’d have another “Basil”. Cue… Boggle.

I would need his timetable. My middle agd, steady as a rock mare bolted the entire length of a bridlway and out on to a road, because Llama's had got in to the field next to the bridleway and follwed her going 'peep peep' like roadrunners!
Boggle looks amazing! Is that his drylot? that looks lovely comapred to soggy winter field!

Yep it’s all yours Boggle ? He’s so chilled!!! Thought he’d go nuts being turned out but nope.
Yes it is Cragrat, he will end up in a bigger one but seems happy enough tbh. I don’t like that their noses can’t touch but equally he’s a huge squealer and strikes out so I wouldn’t want him doing that through those bars.
In the summer they go into big grass pastures for a few hours at a time in pairs. We will have to adapt (probably more me than him)

Barn, tea room (lol- more like an air B and B) etc
It’s beautiful here in the hills. Fire risk is a worry though, this is very high on the concern list. But it is what it is.

Beautiful place! Lovely forestry.. Bog looks like he’s really enjoying soaking up the new sights.
Can we please have a video of you both passing the llama?! ?
”it is what it is” is an expression i first heard in the USA, and realised its used very regularly about the ‘stuff of life’ ? Youve picked it up quickly michen - well done..it will take you far! ?

The new place looks great! I'm glad that there's still good boarding options out there. I was beginning to lose faith after my search ? looks like some great riding spaces.

The dry lot looks much better than I imagined, the hay looks nice and Bog agrees. The whole place looks pretty nice to me…good luck with your first ride ??

Hahaha I’m scared for my first ride Bog is giving me the “look”.
It’s beautiful but hacking limited to 170 acres, you need to trailer to get to the amazing stuff but that’s ok, we are heading into snowy winter anyway!
he is currently seeing elk for the first time! Edited think they are just deer actually now they are closer ?

That looks such an inviting space to train in; I'd far rather that than some pretty clinical spaces I have used. Beautiful spot!!

Aw, so sorry to hear this. I literally felt my heart break when I lost a very much loved horse and I never imagined that any feeling or rapport could come close again. I have been lucky. They are all different though and it sounds like you need young Ronaldo to help you through this. You will have room to love him and it is possible that you will have another very special relationship too. Your youngster looks very classy - envious here!!

I was telling OH that we need to move somewhere when Ronaldo becomes a serious ridden horse because this place is so abysmal and really lacking. He's open to Denver ? and there is an airport there... (he's in aviation)

Think that’s only a 45 min ish hack though. But it’ll keep us going for now!

NC has some great areas. Another state toward the top of our "next move" list. Whereabouts are you visiting?

I could have moved to NC. Actually there in two weeks. Decided no as didn’t want the humidity and bugs! Plus… skiing!

If it makes you feel better I have zero hacking from the property where Ronaldo is. The place we were supposed to go to that closed had fabulous hacking. One of the only, if not the only, barns in the area like that.
Plenty of trails to trailer to though.

Hit a new level on the crazy scale there. Bear was in torrential rain. Bog was smug.

Wow, that facility looks absolutely amazing!!! I love a good steel fence. Also, the dry lot looks pretty flash, looks better than what my paddocks do in the summer! I love those huge trees. Gorgeous.
I'm sat in a shed currently out of the rain; it's 3am and I've just had a mare foal (everything went super) but I'm dreaming about dry fields, I can tell you!! Please keep the updates coming.
