Travelling Horses

The meet is almost wrapped up here with just a few more days to go. We have a few more horses to run and then goodbye 2° above hotter than Hell Phoenix weather and hello snow/rain in Denver.


See ya, sunbeams of death!


What it takes to move:
One fifteen-horse van (our friend is using four of the stalls)
Three pickups
Two horse trailers (a five-horse and a three-horse)
One fifth wheel
Four people
Hours upon hours of packing/unpacking, setting up the barn, driving etc.
Probably a spare tire or two no matter what we do to avoid needing one.
10,000 ounces (give or take a little) of caffeinated drinks.
A crapload of time, money, and years off of my life.

americanhorsetrans.com- In case you ever need a whole van to yourself....seriously though, they do a good job and have good prices if you need a horse shipped.

Anyway, the stress and panic party of moving has commenced, so I may not be around much for the next week or two. I hope that y'all have a super great next few weeks and an awesome start to the show season if you're headed that route.

The only other thing I have that is new and exciting to report is that I picked up another Thermotex blanket. We didn't desperately need another one, but it's in very good condition (the cover is just a bit dirty) and everything works great. For $350 (new ones are $2,000+), I could hardly pass it up. It's a lot nicer than our old one.
