The best laid plans... and more delays

Latest news is that Remy will be leaving Montana next Tuesday (instead of today), arriving on Thursday or Friday. Unfortunately, that timing is not the greatest as Remy will arrive right when my new boss from France is here for the week. Not a good introduction to say “uh, I need to leave now, my new horse is arriving!”

The best laid plans… so if all goes well Bob (the driver) will call about an hour before coming to our area, JP leaves his job and drives to meet Bob at the Interstate Exit. It will be quite a feat to unload: the truck and trailer are too large to fit into our drive way, and we live on a fairly narrow dirt road. Luckily there is a dead end road with a big circular turnaround right next to our property. So Bob can turn around and unload there, and JP can walk Remy home. Susanne, my fellow German horse ‘nut’ (sorry! But true) lives nearby and she also offered to help. (Thank you!). All the while I will be sitting in the office fighting for my job –

 It doesn’t take a village to get a horse but it sometimes sure seems like it.

For those of you interested in Remy’s breeding: Yes, I freely admit I am in no way an expert in bloodlines. So here it goes: FRM Flower of Remington is by Caduceus Denver out of Bar Y’s Lori Lynn. Caduceus Denver’s description: “Denver, with his strong Brunk and Western Working Family pedigree, is a source of height, excellent movement, good looks and good minds. Behind him are the three branches of Brunk greatness—Jubilee King, Flyhawk and Senator Graham. Jubilee King comes through such good ones as Agazziz, Mickey Finn, Ken Carmen, and more. Plus there are crosses to Jubilee King’s sister, Sentola. Flyhawk comes down through various good breeding stock too. There is also the Western Working Family from Romanesque and various Linsley descendants. The bottom mare line goes to early Montana breeding. Throughout this pedigree there was careful breeding for good working horses with good minds. Many of his ancestors were strong breeding horses, some founding their own families. This is a strong horse with a strong pedigree bringing the wonderful old Morgans to today.”
