Three years with Samson, barn move and picture overload♥

[allie0]

SO, I've kept it quiet on the forum but not on facebook haha..
Samson has moved barns! :clap: :clap: :clap:
And I moved him yesterday at 2.30pm (:
I posted a thread last summer about a place called Hill Farm Livery, the website has been taken down but thats where we've moved to. Its a four minute drive from my house, and about a 20 minute walk through the town then out the road, so very close and convienient!
On arrival, my BO had a stable ready, and Samson was turned out with a livery herd of ponies. He was supposed to be turned out at the old Barn with other ponies, but the BO never put him out with them :mad: Poor Samson. The ponies all freaked out and had a gallop about for a while, which was cute :) My friend keeps her black pony Sweep there, so Samson had a familliar face! The stable is mine, no one else is allowed to use it without my permission, the tackroom is padlocked, there are whiteboards to leave messages to the BO on, she doesn't hovver, she lets you get on with you and your horsie :)
In the mornings Wendy turns Samson out and feeds him, then in the evening I come out, muck out the stall, bring him in and feed him ^_^ I am happy! :):)
Today I took him for a hack up some lane up to a barn thats being built, he saw some more of the ponies (as did I) on the property and was a bit skittish. Then I rode him down the lane and had a phone coversation with HyperHaffie (who never comes on and is lazzzy!) and some of the people from my first barn. I took some pictures on our hack on my phone, but I'll put them on my facebook today/tomorrow. :popcorn:
Also, I've had Samson for three years :D We've lasted this long haha! <33 I loveee him so much and I hope that we'll be happy here foreverr :)

Pictures! OVERLOAD.

SO, I've kept it quiet on the forum but not on facebook haha..
Heehee as you know :) I've noticed :D :innocent:

So glad you got out of your old place. The new barn looks great, very neat. Good luck to you and Samson and congrats on the 3 years.

[Fjords <3]

Wow that's a really nice place! I'm sure he'll love it :) I'm in L O V E with the last picture, it's so cute! Congrats on the three year mark!

[allie0]

Thanks guys :)

[Pinky]

The new yard is gorgeous! :).
Congrats on the three years ;).

[cameron' =D]

WHOO alice! samson for 3 year is amazing! :D :popcorn:

[livaward]

beautiful!

[Gypsy Rose]

Congrats on 3 years with Samson!

I saw that on FB yesterday, but wans't sure if it was about moving him or not.

I'm so glad you found such a nice place for him, and close to home, too!

Lovely piccys of the cute boy!

[cowgirlup@idaho]

I love looking at Samson! He is one of the coolest horses! :cowboy:

[JackieB]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

[Gliderider]

Samson is so pretty I love seeing his pics. :) The new barn looks like a nice place. The only thing I would be concerned with is the concert stall walls. I worry about such stuff with my one horse because he will bang on the wall and sometimes kick the wall at feed time in his excitement.

[shewasmyshadow]

Looks nice. Nice arena too. I love when the boarding stables have good "toys" in the arena. :D

[Equine_Woman]

I love listening to you type. . .it's like being on vacation!! I read it with an accent!!! Seriously though your new barn is lovely!!! Samson is gorgeous and looks very happy!!!! Do the horses fight over your stable walls? I've considered making stalls like that because I saw a picture of some I really liked once. I want to make some out of adobe but I'm afraid my girls will just sit there and bite each other. . .lol

[Rabid_Raccoon]

Samson is beautiful! Congrats :) I'm glad you like the new place

[vicklynn]

Congrats on Sampson! He sure is a beautiful boy!!

[Horseaholic]

:clap: Yayyyy!

awesome place!

I was wondering the same thing as EW...do they fight?? I've never seen stalls like that before.

[allie0]

Hey guys, thankyou :D

Haha, I don't think I have an accent myself.. I shall need to post a clip with me talking I guess and let you all be the judge!
Samson can see the horses over the stall doors, his neighbours are a small grey pony called Moshe, and a thoroughbred called Ozzy. He is turned out with them and at the moment everything is really good, he hasn't had any fights and he's getting on quite well with all of them. Wendy assured me if there was any disagreements between the ponies that swapping him to a different stable is not a problem at all :) And Samson will stick up for himself if he gets a nip at all, but he's always very good.

The stalls could indeed be a problem if the horse kicks at them :/ Samson is usually quite good and if he's gonna kick he knows to go to the door to kick and make a noise, I don't think he's silly enough to kick the wall, or he can't be bothered. The ponies are turned out and fed in the morning, then I feed Samson at night-time in his stable and he's very good and waits for me to bring his food to him, he stands back from the door to let me bring it in. He'sa good boy ;)
