He loaded in the trailer with no problem and traveled like a champ. He had to cross a stream to get up to his new home. After a little coaxing he crossed the water beautfiully! He let out a big whinny when he saw his new horse friends. It was amazing to watch Elizabeth, the president & founder of Hanaeleh, handle him and calm his nerves. He responded so well to her in the first 10 minutes of him being there. He will get the care & attention he so much deserves.
I got a "first week" update from Elizabeth. In just a week she is able to pick up his front feet without him shaking in fear. Still working on his hind feet which is where he has been most terrified. He comes up to greet everyone now. He get's grain with dinner everynight. A volunteer spent an hour grooming him and getting him to relax, which he was at the end of that hour. A equine massage therapist is also starting to work with him by offering soothing herbal oils to calm his nerves. Eventually he'll get a massage....what a lucky horse!! I will be able to visit him and see his progress. I'm excited to see him be ridden!
Here are few pictures of Sandy & I at his new home!
Amazing to compare his before & after pictures!
