This transport to QLD was bittersweet.
4 yr old Abanie. How much she taught me. A mare who demanded respect, rewarded kindness and was never afraid to remind me that trust is earned.
We shared every first. Over the 3 months From floating, worming, tying up and the farrier, to her first sit on, first trot and first canter and then equine therapy pro and treasured family pony. What a journey.
And then came the long trip to her new home in Queensland. A stopover in Nambucca Heads always restores my soul. Abanie and I were thoroughly spoilt, and there's something rather lovely about being so effortlessly taken care of. ❤️
A huge thank you to my road trip buddy Laura. Super smart, funny and a brilliant driver. Not a foot wrong the whole trip, ensuring our precious cargo arrived safely.
And to the gorgeous Rachelle and Lea, thank you for trusting me with the opportunity to showcase what can be achieved in just three months. From backing an unhandled horse to producing a willing, confident partner, educated for life beyond the round yard and arena, ready to head out into the world and handle whatever life throws at her.
Thanking God for the grace to walk this journey. What a privilege.
May she bring you so much joy, Wren and Bek. You've got a very special girl. ❤️
