Today was the day.
This photo was taken at Christmas when I told Shayla that Gussie was her Christmas present
I have been waiting to share that photo with you because I didn't want to let the story out too soon! Today The ladies are headed to their new home- funny thing is, it's just down the road from where we lived when I was blogging in 2008 to spring of 2009.
It's a good thing that we had this cold snap, because Belle and Gussie got acclimatized to it - and it's colder where they are going; it won't be such a shock to their system.
Gussie: Hey what's going on here? Why you catching mama Belle?
I apologize for the messy pen- by the time I get to the barn in the morning the pooh piles are frozen to the ground. I will have to wait for a thaw to scoop poop.
Waitaminnit why are you catching me too?

Don't look so worried, Gussie, be like Belle! Ready and willing to go! Belle loaded beautifully in a trailer that had a big step up, and with a little coaxing Gussie hopped in too. They will be in their new home late this evening, and I will keep you posted with any updates!

Bye girls! They will have a good home!:)
Wow, Shirley what a special Christmas present from the heart!! Shayla's smile says it all :) What a great way to start up with you as a mentor. Will miss the girls, but know they are in good hands ~ and we will get updates!
This makes me emotional. What a tremendous gift. What a change. How are you holding up?
Awww. What a wonderful gift.
Linda..... it's tough seeing the pens so empty. But I know in my heart it was the right thing to do and that the girls are in the best of care. They will have so much more room and I know Gussie will enjoy the adventures she will have with Shayla- that mare loves getting out in the back country.
You're in my thoughts! I guess on the bright side, you can really focus emotional energy on your boy. All things happen for a reason.
Lucky gal! That is a nice looking horse. By the way, I used a pick axe to break the frozen clods from the ground.they come off nice and clean, ready for the wheel barrow.
Safe travels, and to many new adventures! <3
