HAPPY NEW HORSE DAY!!! (for real - she's home!)

Exciting, exciting day, folks. Really. A day that we in the Masselink household have been preparing for the past week. Well, Travis. He's been doing the heavy work of getting the stall ready, taking off work today to come with us. He's been a great help.


Right, Banks?
Somehow Trav found a way to fit horse stuff on poor Banks. Oh, how he's tortured.

Anyway, so I hustled through work today, ran to pick up Adalynn, and chug-a-lugged to Middleville where we met Travis and Deb. After a little struggle to load up Aphrodites, Kelsey's stablemate, that little Arab was shipped off and headed back to her original home. Then, Kelsey was loaded up and away we went! So, I'm a'thinkin that you may be wondering how in the world we ended up with another horse. Yes, the plan was to wait until at least spring before adding onto the fam.

But really, how can you just say 'no' to this face? It's impossible.

So, we didn't. And we loaded her up and took her home. Well, not really home. Up the street. But we'll see her at least 2 times a day. Cause we're fanatics like that. And look, she's already posing for pictures! Definately going to fit in great.

And after a mild "Where in the 'h' am I?!?" she calmed down and settled on in. This evening, she was steady as a rock. Very cool.

Adalynn agrees. And how could life get better than this?
