As you all know today was our yard moving day - well it has been a mad day to say the least & not all went particually to plan! :unsure:
So got up early, went and collected a van from work, that they had kindly lent me for the day.
Went up the yard and got the boys booted & suited! :biggrin:
Excuse the awfull bandaging - I havent found any cheap sized shetty travel boots :giggle:
He is looking moody because he had just had a big full on braty strop about being made to stand still for more than 2 seconds! :redcarded:
Mr Finnley looking smart in blue
Then New YO appeared with trailer, he was really nice & friendly! :dance:
Perry pretty much loaded himself, he cantered up the ramp leaving me dragging behind looking pretty shell shocked!
Finnley surprsingly decided that he didnt fancy going anywhere and it took a good 15mins of pursausion before he gave in!
What me? Awquard NEVER! :angel:
Followed the ponies all the way back to new yard, at traffic lights we kept calling finns name out the window and he was neighing back to us!!
Leaving old yard...
We got to new yard, put them in the boxes, had a grand tour and were told how it all works.
Our stables are rarther nice! Am very pleased!
The main stable block is on the front of the yard and we are tucked away at the back, quite pleased we are in a nice little quite spot!
They have also built us a little store room, its so cute! Its like a little wendy house hehe with lights & power point for our kettle!
Our little wendy house thingy...
Finn looking pleased in his new pad...
They have made Perry's door lower than finns so that he can just about pop his head over
The Boys view from theyre stables
All seemed to be going swimmingly, we returned to old yard to get another van full of stuff, im ashamed about how much crap i actually own.
Anyway then this happened
We were sitting in a line of traffic, i suddendly heard a squeeling of tyres looked in my mirror to see this big toyota van screeching towards us smoke coming from the tyres.
Never experienced anything so scary, it was vile seeing it come plummeting towards us so quick. He was going at around 40-50mph whilst we were stationary.
Both me & OH are in agony with back pain, neck pain now. So trip to A&E for us tomorrow.
I feel terrible because work had specially let us borrow this van and look whats happened
The back of the van is totally smashed up, the windscreen totally smashed - all the contents in the back shot foward into the front when he hit us.
So most of our stuff is still at old yard, and i only have my car to get it all back. Its going to be a long day tomorrow carting stuff back and fowards
Anyway made it back up the yard this evening and they seemed happy enough. They have to stay in till Monday morn because of been wormed but quite happy with there hay & dinners.
Heres the view this eve, i can actually see my house from there stables. How cool is that!!!
Thanks for all the good luck wishes though, on the whole is went well!
