Sorry about the poor quality picture - all I had was a cell phone for this photo-op!
I'm sure it's of no surprise that Gunner is now at Zoe's new home! They are going to try him out for 60 days and decide after that if he is going to work or not. My feelings won't be hurt if he doesn't work out and has to come home because...
Middle daughter and Gunner have been doing GREAT together!! Honestly, I was going back and forth on whether or not to go through with this possible sale but ultimately decided to do what I said I would do and bring him to Zoe's new family.
Sunday, as we were getting ready to load Gunner, Hubby was checking the fluids in our truck when he noticed he was low on brake fluid. He had some in the garage so he refilled it only to find it leaking near one of the rear tires. FANTASTIC. So he pulled the truck out from under the trailer and got the mini-semi. Once he had it hooked up, he noticed one of the trailer tires was low so he backed the trailer up to the garage and put more air in the tire. We had planned on leaving at 2pm but by now it was 3 pm. May not seem like much or a big deal but I'm the kind of person that HATES being late so this kind of stuff really gets my feathers ruffled....
Middle daughter got Gunner loaded up (he's super easy) and away we went. We found their house very easily - very nice, clean and safe environment for the horses. I was very pleased!
Gunner unloaded like a good boy and, surprisingly, was very chill. T's dad came to take a look at Gunner, I could see the excitement all over his face! I gave him the lead rope and he took Gunner for a walk.
While he was gone, T got Zoe out for me to visit with. She looks GREAT!! T has been riding Zoe everyday since she brought her home, which is exactly what Zoe needs and wants! It was funny hearing her tell me stories of their ups and downs - so similar to mine! We laughed about that.
T's dad turned Gunner out in their back pasture so I led Zoe over to "meet" him again. They nosed up did a little talking and then got down to the serious business of eating. It was good seeing them together again and I couldn't be happier with the home that they will have!
T and her family adore Zoe and her antics! They found out that she's very affectionate and sensitive, fast and powerful, and oh so beautiful! They said they've already had a few people offer to buy her - we told them we used to get that too. She's just one of those horses that stands out in a crowd!
Until next time,
Lynell
