Some of you may or may not know I took a trnsfer to TN, just over 3 weeks ago. I had to find a house, get things together, set up here in TN.
So the horses stayed in Indiana. For me, not a problem, the same person who has cared for them when I have been gone, for 4 years now, was going to be taking care of them. She has always done a good job, she knows how I am about them. I have gone home every weekend and all was fine. I did not go back this weekend as the horses come here tomorrow, they leave in the morning.
But now, maybe not all of them. I received a phone call yesterday from someone who knows me and the girl caring for the horses. The girl lost her job and I was told she didn't have gas money and wasn't going to my house. So I sent a 3rd person to check. I am not going to go in to detail, it's rather painful right now, unbelievable guilt. They are out there right now trying to determine if one of the horses is able to make the trip tomorrow.
My point with this, check!! double check!! have another person check in as well!! I trusted her, was comfortable with her and let my guard down.
If you are reading this and thinking, would not happen with the person I use. Let me say, I trusted her 100 percent, used her for 4 years, never one ounce of problem, went above and beyond. Have you said all those things? It can happen.
A little extra precaution never hurts.
Still waiting on word if they can all travel, they should arrive late tomorrow afternoon, I know it will be a very, very long day.
Please, don't get comfortable.
