Hi all Oh I'm SO SO HAPPY!!!
Tally travelled beautifully, arrived safely, had an hour in his new stable where he found a nice full haynet much to his delight. Then I groomed him (not that he needed it, he was immaculate!), and led him around his new field. Nothing phased him, not even the 2 mares in the next field. He was as calm as anything, just plodded beside me, taking it all in. Once he'd had a good look, I let him loose, and he just stood there munching on the grass. I kept going back to him just to say hello, and mostly he came to me rather than me walking around after him! He is an absolute delight! I just kept standing staring at him. It hasn't sunk in that I have my own horse yet, it doesn't feel real I'm going back up there in a while, taking the kids to see him. I'm itching to get up there again! I am absolutely overwhelmingly ecstaticly over the moon!!
Here are some pics
