Hey there I had the horses trucked up to my bosses house yesterday! After a week or so of trying floating training and failing I gave in to my aprehensive worrying head and trucked them. As it was so far (3hr trip) I was fre.a.king out to go that far on my first floating experience. I will try later, for smaller trips!

Anyway, after delays, the truck finally arrived about 3:30. Champ got on so good! He hardly hesitated I think he thought he might be going racing again! Evie was...

Went up to check out the new area and even more in love with it (even though mum and dad making smart comments about us being hippies and it being so far out of town lol!). We went...
