From the OCD thread - I made a couple stall signs for the new mare at the barn, and the horse stalled next to her. The signs are still there a few days later, so I guess they didn't hate them.
The boss of the pasture was much more relaxed tonight when we went to retrieve Cash. He wasn't pacing at the gate, but he and Cash did come to the gate when they saw us coming. I just petted him while my wife caught Cash. He rested his head on my shoulder, and it is freaking heavy. My wife wanted me to shoo him away from the gate, but I just tapped him on the side and asked him nicely, and he walked off, no drama, no fuss. Same thing when I brought Cash back to the pasture. I asked him to move, he thought a couple seconds, and walked off. No fuss.
Barn news - The girl I mentioned earlier with three horses has been offered a maybe 2 year old son of a reining champion. I'm not sure on the age. To afford him she will have to sell her gelding, and also rehome the older horse she took in earlier this summer. She has found a place for the older horse, and I might be asked to move him. Maybe another trailer adventure. Hopefully the weather is good. The new horse is in Kentucky. I could consider retrieving him, depending on the weather. Sounds like if she does buy him, they will board him for free until May. That would make moving a lot easier. She has a 3 year old mare that she will breed in the spring.
