So last Sunday, the girls moved to a new barn (#6).
It was snowing (!!) - but the girls were foot perfect: loaded quietly, easy peasy (silver lining to all the moves, I'll take it!).
It's interesting how much their personalities come out in a new place. Tesla was whinnying and trotting in her pen (SO MUCH SPACE!!) - but quickly settled down to snacks.
Porsche was calm as a cucumber once we got there, but paced for a few days before she settled down.
Introvert vs. Extroverts, eh?
SO HAPPY with how good both girls are looking! Tesla is a BRICK HOUSE right now :D
Really pleased with Porsche's body condition too! - and I know she is feeling great cause she was legit a fire-breathing dragon and throwing a poop party in the cross-ties. She got to practice some patience as I left her there while I filled grain baggies, then she settled ;)
I hand-walked Tesla in the semi-lit arena, and the owners' yearling prospect was tearing around in his run right next to us: Tesla was UP UP UP, but she managed to keep her wits (I was making her do all the tricks, so keeping her busy busy is a good strategy!)
Benefits of a big blaze: I can see her in the dark from across the property LOL.
A panorama of the barn: two stalls, a beautiful cross-tie area, and HAY, properly stored ;)
Drooling...
Relieved we found a soft landing before the weather starts to get really nasty!
Good hay makes ALL the difference!
