Tonka's Departure

We had it all planned out; Tonka was to leave tonight, and they were going to call when they were near. We had arranged to have him picked up across the road, as we weren't sure if the big truck would have been able to turn around in our yard.

Fortunately Rob and I didn't end up going anywhere today, as at 12:30 there was a knock on our door...it was our neighbor Jon (they guy we bought Carma from) coming over to tell us the haulers were in their yard for us! Apparently they had Carole's number rather than mine.

Jon had just come home from buying groceries when they pulled up...so it was fortunate timing for us! Jon drove me to the back pasture so I could grab Tonka, then picked up Carole's stuff to take across the road. Of course Dexter assumed I was there to catch him, and chased the other horses away from me...bad Dexter!

But I got Tonka caught, and Rob and I took him across the road and loaded him up in the horse trailer. He was great walking up the ramp into the trailer and negotiating once inside to the front stall. He seemed comfortable with his lodgings. I hope the trip goes well for him, and that his early pick up doesn't interfere with Carole's timing!
