Corrie and Leo are off to pastures new.
Posted by on Sep 21, 2010 in Association News, Horses | 4 commentsPastures being the appropriate word, the boys could hardly believe their luck when they were turned out into their new field full of grass!
On the journey to their new home with John and Carolyn, Leo was very stressy and didn’t travel well causing Corrie to become somewhat wound up too. We safely managed their ‘enthusiasm’ to leave the trailer (!), and after a cursory glance at their surroundings and a quick explore of their field and barn, they both settled to eat.
It’s wonderful to see them in such fantastic surroundings, but it was a wrench to leave them there. It’s impossible to not become attached to horses even though I know their time with me will end when they find their forever homes. I’m sure I’ll miss them far more than they’ll miss me though!
I know how you feel Jenny – it is a bittersweet moment, but then you start to get the lovely updates from their new ”parents” and all is well.
We have to let them move on to make room for the others in the long line behind them that need a save haven and help.
Keep up the good work and all the best to Leo and Corrie in their lovely new home.
WOW so nice to see Leon and Corrie in such a nice place. Hopefully they will see out their lives in the company of each other. Such lovely looking animals and such a great happyending. Well done ERF
I’m so happy to see that Leon is doing fine. My own horse (31 yr old mare) had the same injury three months ago. She was rushed to a vet clinic and had an emergency operation in the middle of the night. She is also doing fine now. I hope that Leon will have a long and happy life in his new home!
Wow, isn’t she doing well, here’s hoping she has a speedy reovery.
