I have now moved Jack my Morgan to a new trail riding barn

annem · 07-05-2008, 09:27 PM

I have now been on Vancouver Island with Jack for nearly 2 months. After looking around and checking out a number of boarding facilities, I decided on the one I moved Jack to last Tuesday. He has his own large paddock with a large walk in shelter with access to 20 - 40 acres of pasture each day. He has been in a small field on his own for the last two months and today he was put out to pasture with the other horses for the first time. All went extremely well. He was supposed to be segregated for 10 days for the horses to get to know each other over the fence but as Jack is so laid back and is such a nice guy, they told me I could put him out today (day 4).

I have been on a couple of wonderful exhilirating trail rides and this is the kind of riding I have been dreaming about all my adult life. I have met some wonderful people and I am sure that I am going to have a great time staying at this place. Everyone are trail riders although they all come from different backgrounds. i.e. Hunter jumper, dressage, etc.

I took Jack into the river a bit today and he was awsome. Didn't go in too far as the weather wasn't sunny so we will wait for a hot sunny day to do this. This is something else I have always wanted to do.

As soon as I get some pictures, I will post some but I didn't take my camera with me today. But there will be pictures comming in the future.

I am so happy for you. It sounds like you are in horse heaven. Can't wait to see some pictures. I love BC.

Right now, I am having problems with Photobucket. It could be because of the email address changing. I have emailed them so hopefully we can get this resolved.

I am having a good time though.

That sounds like a great place. I bet Jack is thrilled. I can't wait to see pics.

It does sound like your own little horse heaven Anne! I'm so glad for you! I can't wait to see the pictures!

O.K. Lots of pictures comming. I hope this is allowed. If not, let me know and I won't do it again.

I don't know what happened, but some got duplicated.

annem · 08-09-2008, 10:23 PM

Some how these got missed.

Ok I want to live there and ride with you all. That looks like a TON of fun!!!!

annem · 08-09-2008, 10:44 PM

Believe me, it is. I didn't realize only three months ago that I would be enjoying this kind of riding. It is certainly different to what I was doing in Ontario where I lived.
