Yesterday, Karrie delivered Tee to his new home. He is going to be at a therapeutic riding program in New York State. Chuck and all of us have very mixed emotions. Mr. Tee has been such a wonderful and easy horse in our school program. But it is increasingly difficult for him at this stage in his life to carry a full load in the school program yet he still is a great horse and the people we met from the therapeutic program visited the barn and Krissy, Chuck and Karrie were all convinced that it was a perfect fit.
Also important to remember Mr. Tee's condition when we brought him to Cobble Hill. He was low 'horse' on the totem pole at a farm -- he was skinny and had lots of bites. His teeth were in terrible condition. Thanks to great care from Dr. Dowd and TLC from so many riders, 3rd feedings at night, etc... he was a fine looking, healthy and happy horse when he stepped right up into that trailer yesterday morning.
I am posting from the waiting room at UMass Memorial Medical where Chuck is getting his hernia fixed this morning. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes and help at the farm today and tomorrow. He was telling the anesthesiologist jokes as I left him. :)
