 BHW New Catch of the Day
Posts: 9883
    
Location: Missouri | Seems like time has flown and he's all grown up. I'm a nervous wreck! Tomorrow night I will load him up and hope he's not a wreck when I unload him, lol.
He's only gone on 1 short trailer ride and he's only been IN the trailer a few times. I am planning on taking his girlie friend along for the ride for comfort.
I swear it's been as hard as picking a preschool for a child! I hope he is easy to train. He's been super easy so far.
I can't wait to lope circles on him when he gets home! |

Location: Missouri | It's been a while since I shipped one off to the trainers and the guy I used before is retired now, so I'm using someone I know, but it's still scary. And yeah, this is the first one I've raised from a baby too.
Oh my gosh I remember when I got my last one home, that's when the work began! We loped every shape and some that haven't even been invented lol. I never knew how hard it was to teach a horse to lope in a circle, lol. |

Location: Montana | Gosh, I know. My youngster I've had a hard time getting a trainer for because the guy I used before doesn't have any openings until July, one recommended to me won't call or text me back, and the one that will call and text back is someone I've never used before but has a lot of good reviews but not by anyone I know. I wish it were easier! |

He is 3 years old. I was hoping to get him broke last summer when he was 2, then spend some time hauling and riding him. But the gal that was going to start him under saddles mom got sick so.
It was sad leaving him last night. I know I shouldn't put human feelings, but I couldn't help but think he felt abandon and confused, lol |

Location: Bastrop, TX | Some oldies on here may remember George. He will be 3 the end of April. I know how you feel. I was a nervous wreck and worried sick to send him off. He has been gone 6 weeks and I've visited him twice and my sister has visited him 3 times. Lol. It was worse than sending my first born child to kindergarten. Lol |

| My 3 year old has been at the trainer for about 8 weeks now. I had her broke in April of last year. The trainer who has her now takes better care of her than I do so she is in good hands. |
