Bringing Tyke Home - 2015-02-13

We went to pick up Tyke today! We met up with the brand inspector (who we saw a couple of weeks ago when we sold Dakota). He couldn't say enough nice things about Tyke and even wanted to buy him! I asked him to do a permanent inspection (since Windsor is over 100 miles away and you have to BI for any movement over 75 mi) Then we loaded Tyke onto our 2-horse straight load trailer. It took like 5 minutes for him to decide to hop up (it was amazing, he had never been in one that small).

Will got to ride Tyke for a few minutes while we were standing around talking. He loved it! This picture isn't perfect cause he started out by grinning. He loves being outside and being on a horse made him so happy! Carrie says that he will be stealing my horse in a couple of years, and that's just fine with me because Tyke will be perfect for him then!

After we closed him in, he was very good (once we loosened up his lead rope so he could get to both sides of the bay). He was alert but calm when I unloaded him. He and Fire have to work out their pecking order but seem to be doing ok. Fire was running around with his tail in the air, it was funny!
