Ann, will Panda live at this new facility, or does she stay with you? How
does that work?

Hi, Karyn and Everyone,
Yes, we have been waiting and dreaming for a very long time for this Clicker
Center! Although right now things are a bit rudimentary there, because of
course, the construction did not go as fast as originally planned, but we
had to move the horses out of their boarding barn because there were other
horses coming in to take their places there. So right now we are operating
with temporary stalls in the mostly-built indoor arena, a temporary water
source--hose, no electricity, no plumbing, all of our feed, tack, and
grooming stuff pretty much out in the open, and no access to the pasture for
the horses to graze. The construction crew had to leave our project because
of another commitment at a big project with a very strict contract. But we
hope to see a couple of them from time to time to finish up the most vital
parts in the next couple of weeks so that we can feel a little more at home.
The horses seem very happy in the new digs already and they have all settled
in remarkably well, even our "sensitive" thoroughbred! They all went onto
and came off of the trailer for the trip to the new home like seasoned
travellers, although none of them has been trailered for years. I guess we
can attribute this to good, trusting, clicker-built relationships.
Transportation to the new barn shouldn't be much of a problem, except that I
will have to rely on my poor husband, Dennis, who already spends his days
driving me to all my teaching appointments, to drive me to the barn as well.
We get him involved in doing handyman duty around the barn too, which is
very helpful. But too much togetherness can sometimes be a bit of an issue,
so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes.
Best,
Ann
