Milk, milk, lemonade - around the corner fudge is made!

I checked out the barn in the Oakland Hills last night. The stalls are very small.. and the doors are high. So it would be tough for Isabella to see what was going on outside of her stall. However, included in the board price is turnout everyday into these outdoor paddocks. So, the transition into the stall might not be so bad. It's not ideal.. because right now she has social interaction with other horses and a good amount of land to wander over during the day.. but at least I'll be able to see her more and she'll be able to get out. I'll probably get a sponsor to ride her a few days a week as well to keep her busy. The barn is right at the trailhead as well, and dogs are welcome at the barn so China can now accompany me on trailrides. Hooray! That'll be fun. I'll also be saving a ton in gas money by not having to drive to Walnut Creek.

However, I'll miss all of my barn friends. *cry* I've been at Creekside for 4 1/2 years.. and I totally adore Sandi, Andrea, Sharon.. and I'll be sad to leave them.
