Today we drove back up to Arlington to Pacific Moon Equestrian Center for Ben's pre-purchase health exam. I wasn't surprised that he passed with flying colors, but I just wanted to be sure that before I purchased him that he was indeed 100% sound and healthy. The veterinarian didn't find anything to be concerned with so we were all very happy. Even Ben "smiled" for his photo afterwards. It was pretty cute!
On Saturday we will drive up to Arlington again with the horse trailer and bring him home to live at my parents house on Bainbridge Island. We are all very excited! I've been looking around for a pasture mate for Ben and have another horse that I'll be checking out on Thursday. So hopefully that horse will work out as well so Ben won't be lonely. My parents also wanted to have a horse of their own so my Dad, Jeff and nieces would be able to go trail riding with me occasionally.
None of this would have been able to happen had my parents been so excited about getting horses as well. They have spent countless hours in the past couple of weeks getting the barn, fences and pasture ready for horses again (it's been a year since horses were boarded on their property last.) THANKS DAD for all of your hardwork! I can't wait to hit the trails with you soon!
