Woohooo, Top is leaving the barn in town. He is moving closer to home. There is an opening at a boarding place near my pasture and barn. It seems great. Top will have a shelter and large pen. It is probably 200 x 150' pen. All lovely green grass.
I went with Blueheron today looking for places to board her horses. They only had one opening. Blueheron said, "This would be perfect for Top." I was hesitant at first. I've been pricing gravel, and trying to figure out how to get him home. This will at least buy me time to figure out a good set up for him at home. I don't think he'll ever be able to function in the general population of the pasture. I could be wrong, but I don't really want to risk injury to him, or any of my others. He really has no herd sense.
I am going to try and get him moved tomorrow. I have to check the weather. I don't want to have to haul hay in the rain.

Oh, I hope it works out for you both!
scritches to the big boy.
HP- I hope things are looking up and that Top enjoys his new home. He is a lucky boy that he found you.
It's a good place, with very kind and interesting people, and it's right around the corner from the pasture. Very cool! How serendipitous, eh? lol. I love how things work out like that.
Getting ready to head out. An old student is hauling Cami and Top home. I have to get hay and grain for Top. I'll grab his tack and some brushes and blankets.
I'm actually kind of excited. lol
Top is moved. He really likes this place. Mr. Chill. He wouldn't even move out of the way of the tractor bringing in his hay. Not worried about a thing.
How was he in the trailer, HP? Did he get all anxious this time?
He actually was really good in the trailer. He wasn't even sweaty. Pretty cool.
Top has the same demeanor at this new place as he has up at Carrie's, I think. He's pretty pleased with the whole move, it seems. Very cool.
OH, that's so great to hear!
He really didn't like town much, did he.
I know how he feels:)
Very, very cool!
Yay foro Top, hopefuly that will take some pressure off of you as well
Sounds like Top knew this move was a good thing... Funny how they sense this stuff.
Great to hear he will be closer to home. That's always a good thing.
Congrats HP, you sure have done a marvelous job with Top. How very cool that he's making moves without freaking!

Snuzzles up to GL's fire and brings snacks...
Listens to crickets chirping and cicadas (sp?)
