I have been offered the most wonderful retirement for my old boy, as a companion to his field and stable mate. Problem - field mates owner is moving hundreds of miles away. It is so kind of her to offer to take my boy with her, I am so, so very grateful. The journey will involve a ferry trip of 12 hours, then a 2 night rest before a short drive to their destination. R had very acute, severe laminitis last summer, and I am worried that the stress of the trip may bring on another attack. Anyone had any experience of travelling a known laminitic? He is usually a good traveller. I will only be able to visit him roughly twice a year, and I cannot shake the feeling that I might not see him again. My friend helped me nurse him throughout last summer and I have every faith that she will look after him as I would, but the worry persists. Any advice welcome. Thanks.
