RE: [RC] Transporting and adapting a horse to a move - Mcgann, Barbara

Mine, too.  Except my big gelding came from Oklahoma in an area where there 
wasn't even sagebrush!!  The first time we took him out for a ride, he was 
hilarious as each time the sagebrush touched his belly or leg, he would try to 
suck up or dance sideways.  You could just hear him saying "Oooooh, it TOUCHED 
me".  By the end of the second ride, he was barreling through like he had done 
it all his life!  Then we went to the mountains...you're right, Barbara, 
confused is a good description.

I had a gelding transported from eastern Montana to central coast
California.  He hasn't had any trouble with the weather, but he was
dumbfounded at huge redwood trees and forests, as he had come from prairie
country with nary a tree in sight and the biggest bush - sagebrush knee-high
to a horse.  Forests confused him at first, especially patches of bright
sunlight filtering down through the trees, and rushing creeks, too.  I've
had him about 19 months and he's just fine now....takes everything in
stride.  Your horse will adjust, probably better than people do.

It looks as if the move to Arizona may be a reality.
Everything is looking right for moving.  My question
is now that I don't own a trailer so would have to
find transport from MN to AZ. I am sure this will cost
me quite a bit?  How hard will it be for my horse to
go from trees, gentle ground and winter to hot, dry
and cactus and mountains?  Would it be easier all
around to sell and buy something from AZ?  Has anyone
has experience with this?  Thanks so much! Amy
