It’s moving day

Moving my 13 yo Connemara mare to a new yard today.
She can be quite a nervous pony, so I’m worried about how she will handle the change (which won’t help in the slightest ?‍) Thrives on routine, so I’m going to focus on keeping a nice tight routine for her.
Any words of wisdom/ good vibes appreciated. Wondering if I should have a brandy for breakfast!!!

Hope it all goes smoothly.
Other than that - she has got you there so she will be fine.

Good luck

She’ll probably be fine. I moved mine to a completely different area after 6 years at one yard. I thought she would be really unsettled but she just took it all in her stride and hacked out like she’d been there for years.
Enjoy your new yard x

Ime, if you move with her, she will be fine. In fact it helped to settle our first Appaloosa mare when we moved her from the first yard we had her on, whwte she was a nightmare, to another one. It was as if it reassured her that we were still looking after her.
Good luck!

I recommend you put her on aloe vera juice for a month, to help prevent ulcers from the stress. I use 50ml a day on every move like this.

Thanks! Aloe ordered, absolutely trying this as she’s been very much on alert all day.

Thanks everyone! We made it. The day ended in A&E with my daughter. Perhaps I’ll have that brandy for supper!

Hope your daughter is ok ?

 

[PotofEarlGrey]

Thank you, yes, she’s doing well now.

I hope that wasn't a horse move related incident! Glad she's ok

Many thanks for your ell wishes.

The Aloe arrived today (thanks to the wonders of Amazon Prime) and I added the juice to her evening feed. Thanks so much for mentioning this, it's not something that I've heard of before.
