The horse rescue is successfully moved to the new location. Although the stress of moving is over, this is a temporary location. This year we will be focusing on paperwork and grant information in order to secure a permanent location.
Most of the horses loaded in the horse trailers without a problem. The last 2 had problems loading. But after much patience and diligence the hardest one went in. I tied her rope to the inside of the trailer and every time she made a little slack on the rope I'd tighten the rope. Being careful not to get my fingers involved in any kind of knot or loop as I tightened the rope. The first rope was cotton with a heavy duty clasp, so when she argued with the rope, she broke it. Then I got out my nylon long rope with a heavy clasp and it worked. she tried to fight it, but she was not fighting me, she was fighting herself, and in the end, she went in and I undid the rope and let her go in and out freely several times. Hopefully next time she has to trailer she'll be happier about it. Just thought I'd share the experience.
All the horses are shedding now, and most are muddy from rolling in their new pastures while the ground was wet. The white horse were nicely groomed, manes brushed out and shiny when we got them to the new location, now they have mud balls in their manes and are so brown and white they look more like paint horses. LOL...
Have a good day everyone!
