Daphine came out yesterday and trimmed Sasha's feet. She was very pleased at how Sasha is doing. Sasha is fun to work with. Hopefully, she will get her new home soon.

On Sunday I will be hauling Sasha to her new home! I am so excited for her. Sasha is a fun horse and deserves the chance to be loved. Last night I went to the gate and called her. She came running in from the back of the pasture, put her head down to have the halter put on and walked nicely to the stall. Happy days for Sasha

I will post photos when I get back but Sasha and her new Mom, Megan seemed to be getting along great when I left the barn. I've been bitting my lip for weeks in anticipation of her arival at KCJ where I board so I was there to meet everyone today ;D
Sasha had many of her old and new fans around today! It was obvious that mswan has been a great influence on her. She was a lady even though lots of barn commotion was going on.
Coconut even got to get out on the grass to do a little grazing with her for a few minutes before it decided to POUR rain on us all. I think Sasha held up pretty well with the big ride & appeared nearly unconcerned about the goat that made an appearance while we were all getting aquainted.
I will say that I got a little choked up when I saw the unfmiliar truck that I'm sure belonged to her new family pull up with a sky-high pile of hay ... ALL for Sasha!! To think that for most of her life she didn't even know that's what people were for, she must believe she's Sasha, Queen of World!
I'm THRILLED to have her as a new Barn Pal for Coconut!

As Jet says, it went well today. It took 5 minutes to load and most of that was me doing a little last minute training. I asked her to come in and out of the trailer a few times just for pactice. I had hoped to give Megan a few pointed as to how I've been working with Sasha but the skies opened up and that ended that. Sasha was calm and well behaved. I will miss her. Sasha is a fun horse to work with. Megan should have a lot of fun with her. Best of Luck to Sasha and Megan! Any questions just email me or call. I forgot my camera so Thank You Jet for remembering yours and taking a few pictures. It was fun to see you and Coconut.

Hello Everyone! I finally joined and will continue to update you on Sasha's progress. It's been a bit tough where I'm at to work with her daily due to the rain and the lack of light when I arrive. I'm looking into other options (e.g. moving her to another barn with an indoor arena). I don't want her to fall behind on her training. I did have some time between rain showers yesterday to take her down to the arena before it got dark and did some work with her. She really likes my daughter and loves to be hugged by her. Megan

Good Evening & Happy Saturday! Sasha had a busy day! She had a visit from the vet and got all of her shots and an exam as well. We did the weight tape on her and she was up to 821 lbs! We're hoping to float her teeth in a month or so when she has a stall at her new barn (she's moving to Pond-a-Luce on 11/30). I took some shots of her to share since the weather cooperated: This one is hard to see, but she's running around, stretching her legs in the outdoor arena: Here she is at the fence, stopping for a quick "hello": She's in "mid head flip" mode here: Coming in for a landing: Sniffing around: My husband was a good sport and helped out: All "dolled" up: (This was a show halter I had for my first Arab, Tequila--she's the first to wear it in about 15 years). Isn't she gorgeous? Enjoy! Megan

Thank you Megan for the Sasha updates! I'm so happy for you and Sasha. I like the idea of moving her to a barn with an indoor arena during the winter. I'm sure Jet and Coconut will miss you. Sasha looks great in the show halter! ENJOY!!!!!
