Help I have a Question? and I know it is a really dumb one

KJUN · 07-07-2006, 02:19 PM

OK here is the Really Dumb Question and in advance I apoligize for my stupidness
I am talking to a Hauler to ship my filly to Tacoma Washington as Finially I rented a house today in a small town outside of there. It is very close to my son so this is great anyway My mother called me today and said since I am nto moving closer to her that she wants me to take the mini/shetland cross colt instead of her raising him (that is fine with me)
I e-mailed the shipper who I have decided to haul my filly for me and asked what it would cost extra to ship both of them to the same place? They sent an e-mail back and asked me since they are both only going to be 4.5 months old Would it be possible for them to share a stall? The stalls in there rig are 4 x 8 They told me the stalls are fully enclosed. Does anyone see a problem with this? Yes he is a colt and she is a filly but they are young. And if they can share a stall there will be no extra cost. If they should not share a stall that is ok I am just looking for advice I will attach a photo of both so you can see again
Once Again Sorry for the stupid question

here is the colt @ 10 days old

and here is my Filly @ 10 weeks old

THANKS
Have A Wonderful Day

Not a dumb question at all. I personally don't see a problem with it as long as the filly isn't too aggresive. We used to pack two weanling Arab halter horses into one adult tie stall all the time at the halter barn I worked at and those horses never ever got to be with another horse so it was always interesting until we got on the road.

Chances are they will be fine and may be inseperable once they get to their destination.

I wanted to add first that my filly is in a pasture with her mom and other horses already and she is fine with others around Also I looked it up on Mapquest and the trip will be a little over 1800 miles..WOW
Have A Great Day

I think they should be just fine. They can also comfort each other on the long trip.

I think espeacially(sp) since they are both so young it would be better on them and they would haul calmer. It always helps to have a buddy to haul with the first time. You know the old buddy system.

There are no dumb questions!

OMG! They are just too cute for words!
I don't see a problem with it either. In fact, it might beneficial, bc they won't be so apt to spook if they are together...

I agree - if they get along and know each other, it should cut down on the stress...they are beautiful..oh, I want a mini now

kindredspiritsia · 07-07-2006, 07:51 PM

They will be fine. That colt looks familiar...is he from Sherer's Quarters and Paints down in Greenfield, Iowa?
