Moving Dakota

We recently went on a picnic and took Dakota and Mila with us. Dakota found it very fun and wanted to stay close to the 'herd.'

NEWS: Well, some doors close and others open. My good friend, Pat, has offered me a new home for Dakota. She has her own place with her three horses on it, all of whom I ride. I am particular to Spice, her half Arab/half Thoroughbred, mostly because she is sweet and fun, and is very close in personality to many, many horses I've worked with. I love the other two as well, Scrimshaw and Engelita, though I haven't yet ridden Engie.

Anyway, she has a lovely property with several pastures. She has offered me a pasture with a run in--MUCH nicer than what she is in now. Eventually, she may be in with her three girls, if they all get along that is. It's a wonderful opportunity to have Dakota in a safe, clean, healthy environment. There is a large arena as well, which is awesome. A lot of smaller properties like this don't have facilities like arenas. Plus it's an energy exchange!!! So it will save us a ton of money!

I'll be moving Dakota in a bit over a week, after we are sure she is free from parasites. The most wonderful thing to me is that I'll be able to totally control what Dakota eats and how she is cared for. Not sure the walks will be quite so spectacular, and I will miss the hills we walk in. But the offer is too good to pass up.

Thanks Pat!!!!
