Yesterday Peter came and picked up Victor. As I mentioned earlier Victor has huge muscle injury in the lumbar region as prior cases he's sometimes lame but mustly very stiff in the hind legs. The damage probably is due wrong riding and a wrong saddle. The person who's to blame is the one who originally should have bought Victor. Which is so sad. When I handed him over to the buyer he was fit and healthy!
However, it was not quite that easy to get Victor loaded in the trailer. Peter is a very patient man and very horse friendly. And I have to give him that, we tried many methods. Victor was not a Gypsy Vanner yesterday but a donkey! So it took us about 2 hours to get him up in the trailer. The annoying part is that when he finally is up in the trailer he's so calm and not at all afraid. It's just like he always have to try if he can avoid getting up there.
But we got him up in spite of a little drama. Among other things, Peter got slightly injured nothing serious though, but Victor was really in his fight mood. And suddenly my otherwise nice and calm horse transformed into a monster at 600 kg.
