A quick update and catch up.

I finally made the "purchase" of my life. It's hard for me to think of it as a purchase, so monetary, so economical. I finally made it so that I can have America spend the rest of our lives together. My soul pony finally became mine, for all intents and purposes, by law.

From there everything got a little itchy. We were at his original barn but I just got to a point where I was worn out, tired of everything, including working my ass off for nothing. I guess I've just gotten to a point in my life where I need to stop trying to fix everyone else's problems, while my life just kind of barely flickers in the background. With that thought and the fact that I was failing most of my classes, I made a very hasty decision to move America.

So one beautiful Thursday, I loaded America up and said Bon Voyage to our old life. And a big old Bienvenido to our new life. We moved to a barn that is maybe 15 minutes from work with traffic, about 25 from home. The amount of money and time this has already saved me is incredible. I am caught up on school. I can now just go see America, just to see him whenever I want. Plus he is getting amazing, hands on care from absolutely incredible people. Not only are they great with the care, but the Trainer and her assistant are just more than I could ever have asked for. I have learned so much already, I don't even know what to do with all of the information.

Unfortunately, sometime in the few days before I brought him to his new home, he got hurt. I guess no one at the old place noticed because he was INCREDIBLY swollen on his back right. We ended up getting more adjustment time than I had expected. Over three weeks. After three weeks, a vet visit, and his incredible patience with being wrapped and unwrapped for two weeks, with some stinky green DMSO, we were able to start working again!!

BUT and this is a big huge BUT, we are starting back correctly. We the help of my trainer and another trainer, we are going to fill in the gaps in not only his training but my own. I think i'll leave explanation of what I mean for another blog post. But needless to say, it's going to be a process. And i'm more than happy to be doing it. I love this dude so much.
