We received this wonderful note about Jazz and his new friend Haley. Looks like he is very excited about his new friend!

We just wanted to wish you both and your families and everyone at the ranch a verry Merry Christmas and to tell you how wonderful our Christmas has been with Jazz & Haley. We spent most of Christmas Eve with Jazz & Haley and all the other barn babies cleaning them and the barns and there is nothing that I would have enjoyed more.
As you already know Haley arrived at her new home on the morning of the 23rd with all the bows and ribbons still in place. (Thank you so much for doing that-she was so cute.) It was drizzling rain a little and Jazz never comes out of his barn when it’s raining, but the minute he spotted Haley from his barn window coming down the ramp from the Equine Express trailer he was at the corner of the corral next to the road to greet her and walked all the way along the fence getting her to her barn (and kicked his heels up a couple of times to let her know how happy he was).
But unfortunately he will have to patiently wait for a while to enjoy her company, since she is in her “I want some attention” stage and this is no time of year to plan on having a baby on board. She is comfortably snuggled in her own barn next to Jazz’s so they are spending a lot of time looking at each other through the windows and of course Jazz is not so concerned about staying out of the rain now. He seems to think he needs to prance along the fence line occasionally to get her attention. He is a very happy boy and I’m sure he knows she belongs to him. There is a definite difference in him. He has always been so attentive to us and he still is, but there is a new perkyness to him and I am so happy for him. But it has been good for her to be in her own barn for a while so she can adjust to her new home and she is doing great… also very attentive to us already.
I also want to tell you how wonderful Billy and Mark with Equine Express was. They were in touch with us during the trip and let us know their expected arrival time and so pleasant and courteous and I was able to call them also to check on arrival time and everything went great . They handled her with kid gloves getting her unloaded. I can’t say enough good things about them. We very much enjoyed the trip when we brought Jazz home ourselves, but this was a lot less stressful especially in the winter time.
A very Merry Christmas
