Soon as I can get them here, I will!

So far the responses to my ISO for hauling on FB are not inspiring confidence :rofl: but it’s early yet.

Could you send them to their quarantine pens until you can arrange shipping?

Yes, I could. At this point I get two additional days of free “board” included with purchase, after that I will have to start paying. I’m getting hauling quotes now, but I need to talk to Bowie and find out what their pickup procedures are and if I need to schedule a day/time, or just show up. I haven’t worked with them before, only my more local auction, so I’m not sure what’s what yet.

This one comes up as still available. Is this the right one?

The chestnut still shows as available

They are VERY easy to do pick up with. I just organized time within pickup hours and told them who was coming. I’m going to send you a DM with my phone number to see if there’s a way to help out. Maybe it would be cheaper to have them hauled to me until you have time to pickup. I MIGHT be closer to you than Bowie.

All gone :smile:

@MNick sounds good! I’m talking with a couple haulers right now.

They were exceptionally easy to deal with - my trainer friend picked up the 4yo TB yesterday easy peasy.

(and not to detract from Heinz and all the excitement, but trainer friend said the TB looked great and hopped right in the trailer and hauled like a pro. yay!)

WOOHOO!! I hope that sets the stage for the rest of his journey :slight_smile:

I think I’ve got a hauler pinned down for Monday. So stay tuned. And I just want to say that I am SO THANKFUL for all of you who are helping out with this, these are some lucky boys to have so many COTH aunties who want to see them win. I’ll be checking on the fences this weekend and doing some mowing in preparation for their arrival.

And…

If anyone ELSE is still looking, they still have a very cute 4yo DHH gelding and a very pretty 3yo DHH mare available for pretty reasonable prices. :smiley: Plus a bunch of other assorted types, if you want something different.

I am equally excited for your TB to get settled in, please keep us updated. He’s a fancy floaty guy, fingers crossed he’s perfect for you!

Heinz, also let us aunties know if you need any blankets, sheets, fly sheets, tack, etc.

The Bowie Boys are getting a great start thanks to you!

Have you thought of names yet or is it too soon?

Things happen so fast after you hit that add to cart button! :joy:
