Moondance is en route to his new owner/home as I write. The hauler got here around 7:30, and Moondance loaded fairly well, only took a couple of minutes for him to step into a completely unfamiliar trailer (good boy, Moondance!) This is the same outfit that hauled Drifter for us, and it's a small world- Moondance's new owner bought a mare from Drifter's owner (Heather) and she saw the ad for Moondance on Heather's page. Just another example of the connections that abound in the equine world.
The trip will be around 10 hours depending on the roads. He is supposed to get to Maple Creek, Saskatchewan this evening where he will overnight and be picked up by his new owner the next morning. Safe travels, young feller! I hope your new owner loves you!
Shayla sent me some photos of the girls in their new environment. They have a large pasture which they share with several other mares, including Rose, the sorrel mare of Shayla's that was here for a while- you may remember her. Rose and the girls remembered each other and Rose chose to hang out with them.
Rose, Gussie, Belle
They have lots of bedding and plenty of hay! I like that it's nice and flat, making it easier for Belle to get around.
I will post about all of the gone horses as I get their updates.

Hi girls (waves hand) nice they were reunited with Rose. No doubt his new owner will fall in love with Moondance. Looking forward to updates.
I hope everyone adjusts including you Shirley. And then there were two horses:)
Hugs, Shirley. I know that had to have been a hard parting. Sometimes, it’s worse when they load up nicely into the trailer. I remember the feeling when I sold my first horse ever. When I was a teen I had raised and trained him from a weanling, He didn’t know anything but to trust humans. And he loaded right up. Unlike what will happen here, I never saw him again. And all these years later it still hurts; reading about partings still makes me sad. I even cried when Rosalee left, and she was here for a mere week. Well, here’s to their futures! May they be bright and filled with love.
