The Chodove People

Today is the arrival day for our first three forever horses. Marilyn and Pete are bringing them from the Dinsmore area. We are very excited.

Some complications arose along the way. Our Hay Man took some days off since the weather was around -40 with the wind chill. We ended up getting some straw and hay in the night before so we would atleast have some for their arrival.

We spent the morning finishing up the cleaning of the barn. (Pics and Story of the Cleanup coming soon!) It was a long hard process but we managed (with the help of our three little kids) to get it all done just in the nick of time.

As we were resting after the cleanup was finished and before the straw was layed, a trailer pulled into the yard!

Glider, Harem and Mariah had a long cold trip under their belts. They led out of the trailer great.

It was getting them into the barn that was the fun part. We did not know that they had never been in a barn while Marilyn had them. Ooops. One of those questions I will now remember to ask!
Once the first decided it was ok, they all followed pretty easy. Within a couple of hours of their arrival, they were happily eating hay (brome, alfalfa) and searching for oats!

THANK YOU MARILYN & PETE!
