We've arrived!


Today wasn't the best day to discover that the cigarette lighter in the horsebox wasn't working and therefore wouldn't power the Sat Nav! So, I had to leave in charging in the Vitara for a couple of hours with the ignition left on in the hope that the battery would last the journey.

I thought babies needed a lot of equipment when you travelled with them but we've spent two days loading up the lorry for Liquorice. Fortunately loading the actual horse only took two minutes, thank you Pat Parelli!

He expressed his opinion of my cornering at regular intervals round the roundabouts on the Chichester bypass then it went really quiet and I thought "that's it, he's died of stress and I shall arrive to find him on his back in the lorry with all four legs in the air."

He hadn't died of stress of course, this is Liquorice we are talking about, and he was soon tucking into the complementary hay as soon as he got into his new stable.

So, since the scratch on the new lorry, where I tried to demolish one of James barns while trying to park, isn't too bad, (just don't tell Kevin!), all in all, it't been a very successful day.

Glad you got there safely and James barn is still in one piece! Have fun, can't wait to hear all about it :)
