Moving Day for Sebastian
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He comes over to us.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We free lunge him first to get out his energy.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Gretchen gets him on the trailer in record time. First try, 1 minute!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
They load him and then head over to Wildwood.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
At Wildwood all the horses call to Sebastian
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Gretchen walks him around to familiarize him to the farm & horses
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We give him an apple
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian will live behind the "old" barn in the same outdoor enclosure he had with Amaris!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
His new paddock mate comes over to meet him.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
They immediately play together
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He is a quiet gelding like Sebastian
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Cheyene rolls while Sebastian says "Hi" to Rebel
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Then Sebastian rolls!

|
|
|
|
|
 |

I show Erik how to pick his hooves
|
|
|
|

I wouldn't say I had alot of practice hoof picking! This is Sasha's job.

So nice to be able to ride inside in the dead of winter!
|

We watch Sasha ride
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We practice taking pictures indoor, which can be very tricky.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian does look nice
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian has not been in an indoor arena in a whole year!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He says hello to Erik, who didn't wear his winter coat.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha canters around!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
It's nice to see her riding again.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
They are so cute together!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
They wubba each other!
|
|
|

 |
|
We had a great time!
