Arriving at Stanford

Cash arrived this morning! My first horse - and what a gorgeous one! He was as cool and relaxed as any horse I've known who's just spent 15 hours in a trailer. We got him some water then wandered around in the 85F sunshine (I love CA in March) to stretch out his legs. He was a little worried by the golf balls hurtling through the leaves not far from us (aren't we all - the Stanford golf players aren't always very accurate). But he was a perfect gentleman and didn't pull me around, unlike a certain big Friesian-Percheron cross I know...

I tried to take some "action shots" of him, but apart from his long roll in the dirt:

all he did was eat his hay.

We'll try for more later in the week. In the meantime, he gets today and tomorrow to get used to Stanford before he gets tacked up and taken out.
