He's HOME!

Terri went and got Storm for me today...THANKS! My truck has been hiccuping a little, so I just didn't trust it to go up over the mountain over 299 with The Precious...So I took Oliver to the vet for her this morning (he needed his blood drawn for a chem panel) and she went to Redding to go get Storm. The shippers were going to be at the fairgrounds around 10am...Terri says he took a while to load up (we are guessing he is just sick and tired of being hauled all over the country, LOL), but other than that, and throwing his haybag onto the floor, he was really good.




Once we unloaded him and let him drink, I tossed him into the roundpen first. He spent a good amount of time sniffing poop (ooooo, all those other horses that live here! YUM...) and spooking at the "goat toy" (flipped over water trough that the baby goats love jumping around on) and going for a good roll....













OOOOooohhhh that's goooood!














Nothing like a good roll in sand!















YEAH! That was GREAT!













Then we moved him around a little to shake off the drive (bout 4 hrs by trailer..3 if you are in a car)...He did everything from a runwalk, Rack, step-pace, rack-a-lope, and a nice canter...












Such a beautiful boy :)
















Round and Round we go....










Then we moved outside and were going to take pictures of me and Storm, but they came out as video instead...oh well :)

Trying to give him a kiss...he thought it was too silly and was trying to move his head away, LOL...







Then I took a picture of him and Terri in his new pen....

















And in his new home.....











He really likes the bits of clover that was trying to grow there... What a pretty boy, and so good! Just settled right in with no problems. We have the geldings at my house right now, but after this weekend we'll take them back to Terri's and he'll have neighbors. Till then, the goats will hang out with him :)
