Well, some of us.  In a flurry of superhuman attempts to beat the daylight all weekend, I did manage to get the boys onto that patch of grass, a match I have been pursuing since last May.  Can I really have done it?

 They managed two steps before they dropped their heads in excitement over a long-lost green friend.  Definitely the most peaceful move-in I have ever experienced.
Approximately four seconds in
 When I can't ride anymore, I shall keep horses as long as I can hobble along with a bucket and wheelbarrow. When I can't hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out by the fence of the field where my horses graze, and watch them.        ~Monica Dickens
 
Is this really for me??
And it was good.

    Thank you so much!!! It has indeed been long and it's not over yet, I still have to get myself there ASAP, but it's a HUGE hurdle!!!!

    They are still nervous, but were definitely settling a bit after dinner tonight. Still checking out all the sights and sounds -- pro trainer has farm next door, they are fascinated as it is juuuust far away enough that they can't see exactly what's going on!

    Congrats girl...what a nervous and exciting time! I still remember the first few days when I moved mine to my farm. I was questioning myself...oh god am I ready? Can I really do this? Just having them there calmed me and everything fell into place.

    Enjoy this new life, I know you will!
