new barn

we usually arrive about an hour before nicole, after having eaten at the small diner in town. we greet our friends, and walk into the paddock, retrieving whomever we choose that day. we linger in the fields, i may say hello to bucky and prince. then renee grooms and tacks up her chosen horse.

but today, we're at a new barn. we won't know where anything is. nicole just moved the gang yesterday, so i am glad we'll be there today to help them get acclimated. i'm sure it's not an easy thing, being moved from the only barn you've known for seven years or so. maybe longer.

we're a bit excited, a bit nervous. we like a new adventure, and this farm is the same distance, essentially, from our house, but in a notherly direction, so we'll be going up through mountains. this may or may not be a good thing.

i'm not sure what her stable set up will be, if we'll even be needed on saturdays anymore, but we'll miss it. though, at the moment i have no time for it. i just like to see my friends and care for them as much as possible.

i won't get to see bucky again, and this will likely hit me today, when he is not there.

i'm so used to seeing him up on the crest of a hill, glistening in the sun, tail whisking flies away.

must go. time to get moving.
peace. out.
