Saturday, I had some super "last rides" on the boys before taking off tomorrow. I'm so very proud of both of them for everything they've done. Almost all packed, with just a few odds and ends to sort... thank heavens for Sue and Darrell! But I'm sure not going to sleep til I see them safely in Chicago on Monday morning... and then the fun begins!Now we are on the way to the Markel National Young Horse Championships in Chicago!
Shipping thanks to Fairway Horse Transport, owned by Mark Choper. My boarders and I use him for all our commercial shipping. I knew him back when he was manager of a large TB Breeding farm. He's an old friend and a very experienced shipper. We rented the whole rig so that they could just drive straight through, but a couple of friends who also have horses going to Championships have asked to come with us, so it's all good.
The boys both have nice big box stalls with water buckets and hay. He'll keep a good eye on them. They're already pretty experienced travellers themselves. But even so....I'm still not going to sleep until I see them in the morning!
Joey has promised to text when he gets there...
