Congrats! Sounds like a lovely horse and it sounds like you have an awesome plan in place to set him up for success.

Sounds great! Can’t wait to “meet” him.

Congrats! Sounds like an exciting prospect!

One bit of advice I would give would be to make sure you give the horse plenty of time to settle into his new home/routine. Horses can seem to change personalities when they show up to their new home, but if you think about it, they are having to process a lot of change at once, and it can sometimes take them a few weeks or even a few months to return to the horse you met when you tried them. Don’t panic if they seem less friendly, less chill, maybe are a bit standoffish and nervous with the change. A gut supplement is always a good idea! And lots and lots of patience :slight_smile:

Congratulations, how exciting! Would love to see photos of him when you get a chance. What is his JC name, if you don’t mind sharing?

So exciting. Congratulations!

Congrats! If he’s curious, he’ll love getting out of the arena and onto trails!

Congrats!! Nothing like the excitement of a new friend.

Congrats! Sounds like lots of fun

Awww yay, congrats!!

that’s excellent advice, thank you! That reminds me of when I was 9, my parents bought me a pair of mice (consolation prize for not getting a pony) and their care instructions recommended leaving them alone for the first day or so to get used to their new home without getting harassed by an overly excited kid (me). I about lost my mind from impatience haha
