Lydia called Teri Wilson and Dick Brown, who were real lifesavers, offering me and Walter shelter for two nights and a day during predicted violent thunder and hail storm. They have a beautiful spread, pastures for horses and cattle, many stalls, covered pens with turnouts and an indoor arena where Teri gives riding lessons. They put Sir Walter up in a princely covered pen with large turnout between three horses to his ecstatic delight. I was given full use of the barn office with heat and AC, coffeemaker etc. - and best of all I could step right out the door and check on Walter without going outside!
Which was a great situation from the wee hours of Thursday morning through the afternoon, when the skies opened, deluge drenched the land and wind howled. (No hail, though.)
Today Teri drove me to preview the roads, helped me find a place for tomorrow, and helped with tack repair. She's a chronic animal rescuer as is Dick - many happy dogs, cats, skunk, squirrels etc.
Edgar who works at the ranch made Walter a new tether rope!
And Brown's friend Ruth showed me all around.
The resident geriatric longhorn, also a rescue...
Tomorrow long ride. Update then - gotta go!
