Last Sunday, we moved Kid and Rupert to a new barn which is much closer to home. Our friend, Bethann, moved Big Red also. The horses have 40 acres to graze and run around on. The arena and round pen are very nice and I can't wait to ride in them.
The decision to move was a difficult one but barn drama and more importantly, horse weight issues ultimately made moving necessary. The horrible Texas drought has made forage in many places non-existent. The place we were boarding was no exception and the horses were losing weight rapidly. Our new place has been watering their pastures and it shows. The grass is green and apparently tasty. Kid was very clingy the first few days he was there but he is definitely over that now. I went to catch him yesterday and he was awful - pinned ears, walking away, etc. Didn't want to leave his grass.
Everyone we have met has been so nice and Lesley, the BO, has been so helpful. We can't wait to begin taking lessons again.
Saturday, we had blogging greatness visit us for new adventures with hooves. Details to come.
