I was supposed to be bringing the horse home yesterday but that ended up being cancelled.
This morning, I was taken up to move 2 horses to another field and bring Captain home.
I ended up only being able to move 1 horse because although I was able to catch both, they misbehaved so badly (and I had so little help) because they havent been handled in 6-8 weeks that after half an hour all 3 of us were covered in sweat and the bloody thoroughbred mare decided that she couldn't go into the horse box, the gelding would load and then pull backwards because she was standing outside and I was ready to kill them both.
I had to take both of them back to the field, turn them both loose, recatch the gelding, lead him back up the lane. He went on the box perfectly, then decided to fly off again, scared several cows in a nearby field, spooked at the scared cows and tried to bolt. Finally got him on and delivered to the new field.
By then I was so tired, I said I'd get Captain this afternoon except no one seems to be able to take me up. I also have to get that mare (or any other horse) to actually load in the box and take them up to the new field.
I just want to be done with it! I'm regretting ever agreeing to do it!
