Day 45: 7 Seconds - 55km (By Trailer)

Denise & Alines in La Durantye to Michele's in St. Augstine

I slept in till 8 am this morning! ahh. I think that was the longest I've slept in a while. Of course though, I felt even more tired.

I was so happy not to be walking today, but instead, driving over the Levis bridge and through Quebec City. We all had a nice slow start to the morning and Alaine made us a wonderful breakfast.

Denise got the trailer ready around 10:30am. At first, he just parked it in the drive way, but then Katie asked if he could park it between two barn doors so their was wall on either side. He did, and now it was time to start trailering the horses.

We didn't feed them their usual 6am breakfast, so they were hungry. um sorry correction : (H)ANGRY!

Ok, I thought, here we go.

Ora first. I lead her confidently through the stall door, in to the hay room and on to the trailer. She didn't hesitate for 1 second. I don't even think she knew where she was walking, she was just focused on the food bucket in Katies hand.

One horse down, one to go.

Lux was banging on his stall door and doing his low, stern nickering. If we left him in there any longer I'm sure he would have broken the door down.

Katie hooked his lead rope and I held the food bucket.

She too walked confidently.

Through the stall door...

...in to the hay room,

and on to the trailer.

What just happened?

Katie and I looked at each other and were in disbelief. There Lux was, standing calmly in the trailer.

It took 7 seconds from leaving Luxs stall to getting him on to the trailer. Much better than the 5 hours it took us 2 months ago.

We can not believe the progress in the horses. They are complete different horses. Braver, stronger, happier.

As we drive over the bridge from Levis to Quebec City, we are happy we didn't cross it. We could have, but it would not have been fun or enjoyable, and I'm sure the cops would have been called on us.

Denise drove us to St. Augustine where we started looking for a potential farm we could stay at. I point one out that looks like it has horses, and Denise speaks to the owner. He allows us to stay! yay! The horses have a paddock with unlimited hay & water, and we have a dry place to sleep, along with internet, hence the amount of blog posts being done at once haha.

Joseph biked to get groceries so we will do some food prep tonight and try to get a early night but that probably wont happen. Too much to do always. We don't even know where we are staying tomorrow night.

Let the adventure continue!
