Ok, so I promised Alex I'd keep up with this :) Versace made the trip great, he was a lot more relaxed than I had expected when he got off the trailer (much much better than when he got to your place Alex, of course!). I walked him around a little and then sent him around a few times until he was chewing & paying attention. Then took him into the barn, took all his gear off (haha Alex), & hosed him off (the real bath will come tomorrow!!!).
He didn't pay the other horses any attention, but Fred the turkey was a bit of a different story. I'm gonna have to figure out a way I can work V near him to make him get over it...right now Fred stays in a stall. Versace did walk forward when asked though, toward the noisy alien. I gave him his dinner & some bute (just in case, from the long trailer ride), he relaxed in his stall for awhile, then went out with my 33yo mare Jasmine & goat Tumnis like he'd never left. I can't wait to ride him tomorrow! :) Thanks again SO MUCH Alex for everything!!! I love the new V!!!
