Jake's in his new home...

I'm not going to say much about it in a public forum, but it's pretty amazing how ungrateful and rude some people can be when you do something incredibly nice and generous for them. But, I guess some people just never grow up. Anyway, Jake is in his new home. The barn is ok...I wouldn't board there due to the horses having no shelter in the middle of summer (or ever), even though they are kept outside 24/7. The stalls are nice, and they have a nice indoor/outdoor ring. They had Jake go in a stall by himself in an empty barn and then didn't care/notice that he was getting worked up from a 3 hour drive and then being by himself. But, the barn owners don't seem to be the kind of people that really take the horse into consideration.


I was a little put off when they said the horses come in for 10 minutes twice a day to eat, and they don't mess around because the horses know they only have 10 minutes to eat and then they're back outside. Jessie would never get to finish his feed if he stayed there. But, I suppose there are worst places for a horse, and fortunately there are plenty of trails very close to the barn, so he'll be able to do lots of trail riding once he's ready. And the story about the horse having seizures twice in two weeks before they called the owners wasn't very reassuring either. Hopefully they'll mention something like that to Jake's new owner when they see her since she'll be out often, rather than waiting until it happens a few times to let her know.
