Arriving at Sharon's around 8 am to
start loading up.
Getting everything loaded just takes
time.
Three trailers in the neighborhood.
Closest is the one we traveled with, the black Brenderup brought over Thuy
and the furthest carried Dillon up from South Texas, so he could hitch
a ride up with us.
Terry was wonderful about helping
us get everything ready.
Thuy in front and Dillon in back.
I think they liked the company on the trip, but didn't get terribly attached.
Thuy looking out the trailer.
Once I remember to add a little feed
to the water bucket, he started slurping all his water down.
The first overnight place.
Thuy was great about all the strange
places.
Our second stop gave Thuy a
place to walk around and graze.
Dillon grazed in the arena they offered
us.
There was a lovely pasture on the
side of a hill to let Thuy stretch his legs after traveling all day.
Sharon also hopped on and took a spin
around the pasture.
She walked him around to cool out.
On the road the next day, we were
excited to see a sign announcing Leesburg (our destination).
In Purcellville, a friend offered
Thuy a place to stay on pasture the days before the event.
We attempted the turn in, but the
tree thwarted our efforts.
Dillon wondering why we were stopped.
Thuy eying the green grass.
Thuy meeting Megan.
One of the narrow bridges we took
the truck and trailer over (and the horses on one of our trail rides).
One lane bridges where both sides
must yield to oncoming traffic.
