Am shattered! Not slept well for a week and moved all our stuff yesterday, then hacked Belle this morning and fetched the last few bits n bobs.
She hacked lovely but it is one of normal hacking routes anyway, but was quite surprised when we rode onto the yard and a little bit taken aback.
The YO had his digger moving muck about and she was a little bit apprehensive so took her round to her stable and let her have a bit of hay while I untacked, then put her out in her paddock, all the other horses on the yard cam cantering down as close as they could and Belle wouldn't leave my side for a few minutes, she then went to say hello to the horse in the next paddock, then grazed a bit, then came back to me, called a bit then settled down to graze.
Went off the get more stuff from the old yard and when I came back she gave me a big loud hello you, whinny and then carried on eating, by the time I left she seemed quite happy but I can't help feeling a little bit nervous as to how she will settle and have only now found out that the lady who does the bringing in gets them in between 2.00 and 3.00 which is a whole lot earlier than I would like, my own fault for not checking times when I went to ask my questions so will just have to try and get used to it.
Apparently even those who do not have bring in are never out after 5.00 I can't get there till 6.00 and don't want to leave her out on her own in a new place.
The only saving grace is the fjord who has the paddock next to Belle keeps similar hours to me but is on box rest at the moment.
Hey ho, will try and remember to get some photo's tomorrow.
