I was full of anticipation as I traveled to Reno, NV with my wife, the other Tooele county trainer, and her significant other on June 9th. I didn't sleep at all on Friday evening and so I was up early on Saturday morning to travel to the Palomino Valley Holding Facility to meet my new project horse. As I saw the horses coming down the alley way all I could say was "Holy cow, he is BIG!" Hercules is a 4 year old bay gelding from the Warm Springs, NV HMA. My wife thinks he looks like he has the state of Texas on his forehead but I am not sure I see that. What do you think?

Hercules was very well behaved in the chute and loaded into the trailer with his traveling companion very easily.

The ride home was uneventful and both boys unloaded very nicely. We had to reload Jana's horse and deliver him over to her barn.

Since it was about an 8 hour journey home I decided to let Hercules settle in for the evening before doing any work with him. but wanted to get in with him for a few pictures for some perspective. He stayed very quiet and seemed to be interested in me.
