Hello!
I'm planning ahead for my first mini arriving soon, I am very excited and getting things ready for him. I am relatively new to the area and haven't met very many horsey people yet. My mini will be living with me and so I will be responsible for daily care, which won't be a problem. One thing I'm worried about though is going away for the weekend, my mom recently had surgery and so I go to visit her about every other weekend. It's a four hour drive and my fiance usually goes with me and stays with his dad on those weekends. So how can I manage this when my mini gets here? I'm just curious as to how some of you deal with going out of town. I emailed a lady that has a farm down the road from me but no response yet.
I could haul my mini and drop him off if I can find a short-term boarding solution, otherwise I could find someone to come over and take care of him throughout the day, but how do I know who to trust? I don't want to advertise when I will be out of town.
I'm in central Iowa if anyone has any specific suggestions, otherwise I'd just like to hear your solutions!
Thanks,
Tracy
