I would not enjoy boarding at all. I love having my boy right outside where I can see him anytime I want if I start worrying for now reason (which is often lol). It gives me such great peace of mind. And I can have a hug anytime I want. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-2894458456209275102011-03-06T06:12:17.023-08:002011-03-06T06:12:17.023-08:00Carol, Oh, they look so happy to be back!

I'm glad you got them home, and got wonderful help from Doug's brothers- scary to trailer your precious horses when the footing or road conditions are bad. What a beautiful view you have! And I agree with you- riding goals can wait, and you can do groundwork in the meantime if you want. The most important thing is that they are back, safe and sound, and happy!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-1392560329824244832011-03-05T05:37:15.307-08:002011-03-05T05:37:15.307-08:00Glad they are home and enjoying themselves. I'...Glad they are home and enjoying themselves. I'm sure they were at the boarding facility clicking their hooves together with their eyes shut chanting "there's no place like home" for a while and now their dreams have come true.<br /><br />We're still basically under snow and ice here too. But warmer temps should be on the way for all of us soon and it will all melt. It's so nice to have the herd home safe and sound though isn't it. Just so much peace of mind when you can look out and see what they're doing and knowing they're getting the best of care. Have fun.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-64259666981560228992011-03-05T05:17:03.194-08:002011-03-05T05:17:03.194-08:00I am so happy they are safe and home.

I'm honestly not high maintenance or picky, but things got out of hand. It's so great to have them home.

They make excuses for the situation, but refuse to remedy it because they just don't care anymore. You did the right thing. <br /><br />I love having my horses at home, even if I can't ride as much as I like because of it. There is something very satisfying about seeing them first thing in the morning when I wake up.A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-24956698596604613472011-03-04T03:22:22.600-08:002011-03-04T03:22:22.600-08:00If your boarding situation was going downhill, goo...If your boarding situation was going downhill, good that you moved them home, and very nice to see them there happy and contented.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-83202127701200011372011-03-03T20:06:06.654-08:002011-03-03T20:06:06.654-08:00Oh they look so happy!Oh they look so happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-73994268839174924092011-03-03T19:57:14.894-08:002011-03-03T19:57:14.894-08:00Is that the ocean right behind your turnout??!!! ...Is that the ocean right behind your turnout??!!!
