He looks great bless him I bet you can't wait to see him the yard sounds amazing he will love it.

I know I would be bricking it putting my horses on a plane I'm not a fan of flying myself I would be a complete mess.

Your so brave I can't wait until your both reunited.

Oh god I am. And I love flying. But I’m scared of shipping fever and that sort of stuff. It’s 2am here and I think I’ll just stare at this ?

I don’t think I ate anything other than a banana yesterday and a gin and tonic. The drama with his shared load being cancelled somewhat stole my appetite ?

Oh Bog you clever brave little thing. Can you believe that he used to be such an awful traveller! I think he looks ok, he was lean/very fit when he went so he’s not dropped off massively after 4/5 days.

Any annoyance at the extra £3,000 for a private load disappeared the moment I saw that video!

Is it weird that i welled up a bit watching that?! How good and brave he is! ❤

The scenery there is absolutely stunning, can't wait to see your hacking photos! ?

I’m such a big emotional sop watching videos of horses loading up like that, definitely onto planes but even onto lorries and trailers here. I think it’s that they have absolutely no idea what is happening or where they will end up, but they do it anyway because they are just beautiful souls. I was the same just loading my yearling up to go to hospital. His only other journey had been 2 days over from Ireland and yet even with his hind leg hanging off and hopping on three legs he just followed me straight into the box, purely because I asked him to.

I’d be jealous because I love the states, but it be been there and done it and I prefer life here now, so I’m trying not to be a green eyed monster! I’ll be following your adventures though. I show my baby Connemara pictures of Bog and tell him that’s what he could grow up to be!

I completely understand how fearful you must feel but the troops doing the job on the ground are real professionals and have vast experience in keeping horses safe. Once Boggle arrives with you, you will feel fabulous and he will be delighted to see you as well as delighted to have the whole of Colorado to take on lol!

You are right. I just need the overland ground transport bit confirmed. Like CC I am struggling with slow responses, half the info etc. I will be on the phone to them first thing (3.30 am here but can’t sleep).

plus I’m still shocked they thought him hanging out in LA was even an option for 10 days! And annoyed that I only found out from the USA end because I contacted them and specifically asked.

He looked like a little racehorse getting on there! An old friend used to travel with showjumpers when they were being flown all over the world and the team with them are total experts at their job. What a well behaved Boggle pony.

Do you have the Ap where you can follow a flight?

Also looking forward to seeing your new barn and watching him settle in. Is the £3k overland transfer from LAX?

So jealous that you have video! I don't even know if my horse still exists and where. ? He allegedly flies tomorrow.

Mine is a yearling and been such a little homebody previously, so this is huge for his little young self. I mean, he's trailered a bit previously (to the clinic to be gelded), but I've really turned his world upside down.

Bog looks good and ready for any adventure!

It’s making me even more emosh that HHO are interested enough in that pony to check his flight! He’s a lucky fella.

It’s my 31st bday tomorrow (urgh) best birthday pressie ever will be healthy landed Boggle ? it’s weird to be so excited to be reunited with him when I often spend up to a month away but having him here is just going to be so cool!

Already jelly of future pics of you and Bog with amazing Colorado scenery as the backdrop.

Also, he's basically a HHO celeb. I'm determined to meet him ?

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.
