Just got a text message from Sandra. Merlin loaded perfectly and is now on his way to the yard where he will have the same paddock as Laura did before him while being rehabbed before going to her new home.
This is only the first step but he's out of "that" yard now and on his way! Will keep you posted but Sandra is racing back to the office as I speak so you will probably hear from her soon.

Well done Merlin for getting on a lorry without a problem! Mind you - he was probably so anxious to leave that he would have driven it as well - if he could!
It is a wonderful thing - to have made a difference to one small horse. I hope that this passion to help save horses, wherever they are, goes from strength to strength.
And to all those who made this possible, you should all be feeling really proud of yourselves.

Biting my nails waiting for Sandra to come on and tell us how everything went! Would not be surprised if he is a little scared of being in the field at first - if he has been used to a stable with 2 others he may be a touch agarophobic (spelling?). May also get a bit of a belly ache after a while if the grass is good. No point worrying from a distance - Im sure everything has been thought thru and is under control.

Poor Merlin, he was dead scared of me coming in his stable (pockets full of Hilton Herballs) - I couldn't even take off his headcollar with which he was tethered because he was so afraid of me so I undid the chain.
I'd told Pauhla what time he was loading so she could send Reiki - well, he loaded like a dream (do you think he knew he was leaving forever??). The driver was really sweet and closed the door ever so gently and drove very slowly. He's just arrived at the rehab place. He's in a stable eating hay and later on when it's slightly less hot, he'll go in a very small paddock (not Laura's yet) to get him used to eating grass and so they can catch him again. The people are used to all kinds of horses with fears and in emaciated states so they know how to build up "things" slowly. He's eating hay now which is also new to him and in a few hours he can eat that funny green stuff on the ground.... and he can lie down on a soft surface rather than the concrete in his stable.
Merlin's first step to a normal life!! Thank you everybody.
To be cont'd.....

Hola! Just another thank you everyone. I have been on a journey and come to paradise - humans are being so kind to me, gentle and patient, no-one is hurrying me and the food! I remember when I ate hay before, it makes me feel so happy. Other horses here welcomed me from a distance, although we couldn't really see each other and chat yet, but they said everything will be alright and I know it will - I am free and safe now, forever.

Hi Susi,
Thanks for your offer - showing my ignorance, do you have Euros'
If so, you could pay it into Sandra's account in Spain - I could e-mail you her details or in fact, I am sure that your bank will do a transfer to Merlins account.
Thanks so much, it really is apprieciated.

Hi Susi, just found out that international money transfer via Euro Giro costs about 5 euros. So perhaps you could just stick the money in an envelope (between bits of cardboard, or thick paper) and send it to Sandra's address in Spain. If you email her I'm sure she'll let you know.

Wow, thank you everybody!!! You're all stars as this was very much a DG effort!!! We also have support from my friends in Rotterdam and believe it or not, even some Spaniards as well as one person who has her horse in Emilio's stable (where Laura was)!!
I'll speak to Maike in the course of the morning to ask how Merlin is - I'm sure he can't believe his luck and is dreading that Daniel will come and pick him up soon...
He was living off mainly oats and a little bit of horse and pony nuts every day and water - no hay, no grass no nothing else. He was wormed luckily every 6 months and vaccinated...
Well done everybody and thank you so much. We are not there yet - we have gotten him out of there as soon as we had enough funds to buy him. Now the dentist, vet and farrier are coming out to see him and we still have to pay his transport to England. So everybody who has hung the poster in their yard and are carrying out actions for him, please carry on with the good work!!
We will take some pictures of Merlin at grass soon and will send them to everybody who has sent me an e-mail asking for picures of him so far. Anybody else who wants to see them, send me an e-mail at sboddeus@gyc.es
