Theo's person came to see him and pay for him last week.
He has a gentle hand and seems to get along with Theo. He had to book a hauler for him as his own truck is in for repairs. He also brought a leather halter (as per the hauler's request) and a tube of Gastroguard for Theo.
The hauler for Theo was scheduled for around 9 am today. Around 8:30 I looked out the window and got a surprise.....
When the trailer pulled in they had a couple of horses in there so of course all the horses got to calling. This is a 4 horse head- to - head set up with a box stall in the middle so that was where Theo would travel. He wasn't impressed with having to go up a ramp so we brought Velvet out and loaded her. He loaded with her but as soon as she came out he did too, so I just held Velvet beside the ramp and we used his grain to get him to go in by himself. A couple of tries at that and I was able to get the ramp and windows closed while the hauler held Theo in there.
Of course once he was closed in the hollering began.
Velvet paced and hollered for about 15 minutes before she gave up and she's been quiet ever since.
Gussie was calm and quiet so I think that helped Velvet to calm down.
Theo will have a 2 day trip to his new home, overnighting in Kelowna before heading to Vancouver Island.
Sure is different here with no stallion and no foal!

aww! 😊
What a good boy.
Theo's person does look like a nice guy. Hope you get updates to share and he travels safely to his new home.
I can’t imagine all the mix of feelings for you, Shirley. Theo is such a good boy. He got a beautiful Beamer Baby, and I’m excited to hear how their story unfolds.
I'm sure it's sad to see him leave, but very happy he's getting a good working home.
On another topic: I've been reading Beautiful Mustang since she bought Tumbleweed 5-6 years ago, and suddenly the blog is private. There isn't a way to reach out to the blog owner to see if she'll give me permission to join and keep reading. Is it possible you can reach out to her to send me an invitation? I love her blog and yours... they are the only two I read and I miss her posts. My email address is: thisfullhouse@gmail.com. Thank you!!
Linda, can you respond to Newsed6?
Linda- I would also like an invite to read your blog now that you have made it private? If you want, that is. There are many reasons to make a blog private, I just hope you are going to continue blogging!
So long Theo, I hope he has a great life! I am sure it is a bit lonely for you Shirley...but you did such a good job with him!
Oh, I haven’t written anything in a long time. I’m not sure if I will continue to blog. I forgot that I set it to private.
Thank you for reaching out. I set it to private because I wasn’t sure what it’s future would be. My life has been so busy with recent changes that I don’t have many quiet moments to reflect and write. I haven’t updated it in a long time. If I blog again, I will definitely make it public again.
Thanks for responding Linda
Of course we all hope you return to blogging! Your photos are beautiful and your insights to life and horses are definitely worth reading!
What a lovely boy! Glad he has a good new home, but you must miss him awfully.
Linda - I hope you do return to blogging as I loved reading about your mustang girl, then Tumbleweed and all the others in between. Love the pictures also. It really is, along with Ride a Good Horse, one of the highlights of my week. Fingers crossed! :)
