I am soooo proud of my boy

[NoviceNic]

Today was moving day. I couldnt of picked a worse day to move Captain to his new grazing. The wind was gale force and torrential rain. I could of turned back and tucked him into his nice 5 star hotel we had just moved from but I knew everything would be ok.

I thought he would be a git when I got him off trailer and suspected he would drag me over to the other new field mates. Did he??? No he just walked off and put his head down to eat the grass and ignored the ladies prancing around.. I popped him onto his grazing and am a happy bunny. We have the luxury paddock with its own shelter from many trees and own private picnic area and bench. :D

The mare and foal next door are absolutely besotted with the new handsome boy. Cute foal piccy dont you just want to take foaly home.

Captain tested the internal fencing and it isnt working so he may be joining the others for breakfast. :p

Then as I walked away he decided to do a "look at me I'm gorgeous" shot for the camera. It had nothing to do with the ladies next door honest.

Went back down this afternoon and a family friend has his bow top on the field at the moment so got invited in for coffee. John is going to take Jasmyn and I for a drive with his cob Danny. :D

I have to say Captain is a star. He has only jumped a little once whilst I have been with him and that is good as the weather is WILD. Fingers crossed he doesnt pop over to play with the foal next dooor through the night...

Very wild NN.:rolleyes: As bad here. I'm really pleased it went so well for you. Like the bench.:D I think you're right, hew may well have moved fields by morning... by dint of a shimmy underneath the off electric fence.;)

[cloang]

New place looks lovely, Hope you and Captain are very happy there

[Purple Hugs]

Bless him! he must trust you as knowing what's best :)

And he'll get a shock in more way than one if they turn the fence on! lol

You'll be getting confused over who's who there soon though! :p

[Whatanejit]

Fantastic news NN - delighted for you all!

Captain is such a stunner - his mane looks to have grown a little from the trim last month.

Love the caravany thingy!

Fingers crossed he is a good boy and stays in his own bedroom tonight;)

You probably won't relax totally tonight but better than last night.

*exhales* phew, what a relief! What did we tell you?

It sounds like the folk are friendly as are the horses, what could be nicer. You'll be a more relaxed owner/rider and he'll be a chilled out horsey. Brilliant stuff hun, I'm happy for you :D

[redcedar]

Well done Nic!

He looks very happy in his new home :)

Superb, great news NN! Love the pics, handsome Captain and sweetest foalie :)

hey, when we come up for a geekmeet can we ALL have a coffee in the caravan?:D

Here's to happy times at your new yard!

[CurlyWurlyRach]

aww! what a BEAUTIFUL boy NN!!!!

[VickiGG]

thats so cool NN. Looks like there is lots of nice grass and cute horsey friends for Captain. How cute that they are all paint horses!

[Clare-22]

So pleased it all went well :D

[domane]

Yeay! Mega-huge sighs of relief from you NN... if he copes THAT well with a move in such adverse weather conditions, he really is a little star isn't he.

Great news... :)

Well done, and I see Captain is now surrounded witm more beautiful coloured cobs now.

[NoviceNic]

Captain is the fourth colured cob up there. Love colureds now I am surrounded by them, this is heaven. :p

Went up this morning and he was still on his paddock. Yay:D OH came up with me and we officially moved in with a brand new storage container, 2 patios chairs, 2 cans of lager, wheelbarrow and poo fork. As OH was erecting the box he managed to break to lock.:rolleyes: NN to the rescue and I have to come up with an ingenious plan to be able to lock it. Captain was groomed, primped with smelly stuff and is looking good for the girls next door. :cool:

RI's gelding was moved onto the field today. A handsome 16 2hh Chestnut Irish Draft. Boy are we going to look small next to him when we hack out together. :o

I was tempted to ride Captain but I didnt put tack in car. I wanted to let him settle. Must pop it in tomorrow as the sun will be out. Fingers crossed the wind dies down a bit. :(

LD - I will book the Bow Top for a geek meet.. We could have a sleep over, room for 1 and 1/2...:p

[Sparkie]

Aww bless. I just want to take them all home with me... On second thoughts, Misty would really not appreciate that, Ellie would quite like a few more boys though! :p Hope you two are both happy there, Captain looks settled already!

[jenren!!]

Brilliant! :D

[Dummer&Drummer]

excellent hope it works out for you x i never realised you were thinking of moving actually, sorry been busy digging out of a hole ;) x

[Imp]

How's things Nic?

I re-read this post after D&D posted and realised you offered LD a 'sleep' over... I originally thought it read 'sheep over' - thought it was a private joke so didn't question it :rolleyes:
