Bob moved back to his old barn
I feel much more relaxed with him back! I'm glad I moved and had the experience though. It wasn't a bad barn, but it wasn't what I (and Bob) are used to. So Bob is back in his old stall and out with his chums. |

Yay for Bob! I hope he is happy being back at home. Sounds like it was worth checking out the new place and really wonderful to be able to conclude that your old place was best afterall. I am glad they still had space for him.  |
| Paula---
I bet all his "friends" were glad to see him back from his little vacation....  Bob probably is happy too!!! Like it's been said..."go with your gut"...... |
| I hope Bob is happy back at the old place. You gotta do what you gotta do!
And, pictures would really be nice~  |
| Bob is sure lucky on two counts - to have you as his owner, and to have Violet looking out for him! |

Drezzie said it and I agree |
| Paula, I bet Bob is thinking "There's no place like home, there's no place like home"! Welcome home, Bob! |
| Dawn, a digital camera is on my "need to buy it soon" list. We usually get a small bonus in the fall, so this year it will used for a camera. Plus I'm probably getting the Internet (wireless) at home!
I think Bob liked the new barn. He made friends quickly and the pastures were a good size--big enough for him to run around and lose his turnout halter 4 times in one week. Except the 100 yard path to the turnout is all dirt, which means all mud in rainy weather. That was a big concern of mine. We tried it, it didn't work out. No harm, no foul. |
| Sounds like you're doing what's best for Bob! |
| I can't wait for the camera and pictures!
My Pete got through the fence into our grove yesterday. We have a windbreak we planted years ago, and we put a fence around the trees. There is a narrow walkway on one end that connects the upper and lower pastures. He somehow got through the fence and was in the trees. Then he couldn't get back out! Silly horse. I had gone into town, and Todd found him (or rather noticed him missing) when he did afternoon chores. Pete is a chow hound horse and never misses a feeding! He got lured in by the taller grass and it ended up nearly causing him to miss his feeding. Hopefully he learned! |
| Dawn, isn't it amazing that they can INTO stuff but can't figure out how to GET OUT???? Food is always a great motivator! |
| Oh no, now that he knows he can get thru the fence, he will continue. Silly things. Neighbor's horses continue to try to climb the fence to get into our orchard, lots of good grass. They ignored it until they broke through one a.m., trampled all my irrigation plastic pipes, etc. New fence is cheap but better than before, still it won't be long until they come calling again. "We've done it before...."
Bob doesn't are for aesthetics, he likes the care and buddies. |
| Susan, I got 2 words for you. Hot wire.
They learn quickly. |
| At least you tried something new and had the courage to change if you weren't 100% happy. It was probably good to have a change if only for a little while and that helped to reinforced that he's at the best place.
I'm sure Bob enjoyed having a different experience as well as coming "home" too. |
| Remind me why you moved in the first place? |
| Glad there was still room at the inn for Bob Yes, why did he move? I can't recall either. |
| There are many reason why I moved in the first place, but the two main reasons were I thought the old barn was going to close (and it still will, but not for a few years) and I was tired of the social millieu. I wanted a change after 19 years. |
| Welcome Home, Bob!!
It sounds like he's in the best place for him. (Now let's see some pictures! ) |
