Just before we decided to place an ad for this talented boy, we received an inquiry about another horse from a lady in Georgia. This other horse didn't seem quite right, but with every email exchange, Thibi seemed more and more suited for her as an equine companion.
Nanci drove 1000 miles to meet and spend time with him. We were taken with both her horse philosophy, and the way this sometimes shy boy responded to her. After her three day stay she knew, as we did, that Thibs, now to be Austin, was the horse for her, and she an ideal person for him.
She had already found the most incredible stable (for both humans and horses) and bought him lovely new tack in the most flattering of colors. All that remained was to transport him to her. She allowed us to be the ones to drive him to Georgia so that we all felt 100% comfortable that he would arrive in tip top shape.
I snapped a few shots of his enviable new digs the evening we arrived.
Austin was more than happy to eat his first meal in his lovely new stall.
The barn owners and other boarders were all excited to meet Austin, and he has some very handsome stall-mates. He seemed right at home immediately.
I know Austin will be absolutely spoiled with his new "human" who has an endless supply of snuggles and affection for him. He's living the life of Riley now.
Austin will have daily turnout in beautiful pastures and will make many new horsy friends.
We could not have asked for a better place for him. As we left, Austin heard the familiar sound of our truck and poked his head out of his stall window to say "goodbye". He looked curious, but not sad.
I love you little guy, and I am so happy for you. Make me proud, Sweet Boy.
