Give a horse what he needs and he will give you his heart in return.

I love this place.  
I haven't actually seen it myself, but I asked my sister to look for me and check for cleanliness and overall good condition of the facility.  
She thought it looked great.. 
and 
I totally like the owner of the stables.
I was on the phone talking with her 
for some time, as well as texting and exchanging email.

Buddy is moving on Thursday!  
What a happy horsey I'm going to have.  
I'm flying out to Phoenix to see 
Buddy and help with the move and getting
him settled in.
I feel like I'm taking my teenage kid to live 
in his new dorm for the first time.
I'm excited for him and for me!
I can stop fretting about his well-being.

Care, and not fine stables, makes a good horse. - Danish Proverb

I have a horse. 
 If you have been a reader of my Whispering Willows blog,
 you have met my horse, Buddy. 
He is an American Paint--I Be A Bud.
Buddy is a sweet boy.
People that meet him, say he is a cute horse.
I guess that is a good way to describe him, because he isn't a
flashy horse by any means.
But, he is my horse and I think he is fab.
I don't want to jump the gun, but I do believe I've found him a new place to call home...
(since I can't keep him in my backyard).  
I won't divulge anything yet, 
but 
I am excited.
I'm so excited, in fact, that I'm flying out to the desert
--next week--
to see him moved
to his new digs.
I will be ever so happy and relieved
when he is secure and happily
munching on green grass and oodles of
fresh hay and alfalfa.
I'll let you know after tonight, 
if this is
going to be the place.
