I moved CC today. The move was supposed to happen on Friday, but, like so much in my life these days, things weren't up to me. But this last minute change in plans actually worked out better for me. For one thing, CC is out of that awful environment and I can relax about her circumstances. At least to the extent that I am comfortable the new place will be so much better. Certainly CC and her buddy Reba, the mare she's been sharing paddock space with who also moved to the same new barn today, seem quite comfortable in the new place. All that good hay they got the minute they got there did the trick. Along with enough good quality, clean bedding that didn't choke us from too much dust. And then they got to go out to their new paddock. Still no grass to graze on, but the new barn manager understands the importance of good quality hay in the paddock. I'll be away this weekend but by the time I get back, she should be settled enough and have enough good food in her belly that I can start working her again. There is no indoor arena at this barn, but they do have a nice big round pen which will be safer for our first under saddle experience together. And the barn itself is airy, clean and pretty dust free. The property butts up against a state park, with direct access to all those trails. Can't wait to get her under saddle!
Giddy-up!

Thank goodness she's out of that crummy environment and into a much nicer one! And bonus for her barn pal to be there, too! :)

She already looks like she's getting settled in. I hope it's a good a place as you hope it'll be.
