Hello All
 
Versace arrived safely after his long journey, the 18 wheeler that transported him from Kentucky was too big to get down my drive and turn around safely so we unloaded him from the road, he was so good.  Vance, the guy that drove him was just lovely he and his wife does this all the time and practically live out of their rig!  I think the scariest thing for Versace was spying the donkey a vision that probably had never bestowed him until yesterday and very small horse with huge ears SCARY!  He was amazing though very calm as soon as I put him in his stall he ate the carrots and started on the coastal hay.  I did not give him grain yesterday but he did have 1lb of grain this morning with carrots and he packed that down very quickly, I will increase his grain gradually to probably about 2lb am 2lb pm just like the girls.  He drank water from the auto feeder immediately too but was a little alarmed at the noise of the filler hose but soon got used to that.  The girls were eating when he arrived and did not flinch an inch all three of them are very relaxed and accepting of their new living arrangement.  Actually, while cleaning out FC this morning I left her door ajar while I was in there and she stepped across the aisle to say hello to Versace! if I do this with Devaux she stays put but that little FC mare is so inquisitive!!
 
So .... I will keep you updated on how he is doing but so far very good, the entire barn at Legacy wants to come see him so I think we are going to have lots of visitors today!
 
Love to all
