From the Czech Republic to Sunny Spain
Every horse has a story, but Texas, our 5-year-old bay Appaloosa, now has an adventure that deserves its own chapter. Born and raised in the Czech Republic, Texas recently made an extraordinary journey to join us in Spain. Over five days, he traveled across Europe with the care and expertise of Juncos Alta Hípica, a renowned equine transport company that specializes in ensuring a smooth, safe, and comfortable journey for horses.
Here’s the story of how Texas made the long trip to his new home at Big Love School, a beautiful stable nestled under the Spanish sun.
A Journey Begins: Thursday Morning in the Czech Republic
The adventure started at 9 a.m. on a crisp Thursday morning. Texas calmly stepped into the trailer, ready for what would be a five-day journey across countries and climates. Although this could have been a stressful situation for any horse, Juncos Alta Hípica went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience for Texas—and a reassuring one for us.
Comfort and Care on the Road
As Texas traveled across Europe, he was treated to the utmost care every step of the way:
- Frequent Breaks: The team made regular stops to unload Texas into stables where he could rest, eat fresh hay, drink plenty of water, and stretch his legs. These breaks ensured he stayed comfortable and refreshed throughout the trip.
- Constant Updates: The incredible team at Juncos Alta Hípica stayed in constant contact with us during the journey. They sent us updates via text and even shared videos of Texas traveling and resting at stops. Seeing him calm, content, and eating happily put our minds at ease and made us feel part of his journey.
- Expert Handling: At each stop, the handlers checked on Texas, adjusted his setup as needed, and ensured he was perfectly comfortable. Their expertise and dedication shone through at every moment.
The trailer itself was spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with everything needed to make a horse’s journey as smooth as possible. Juncos Alta Hípica’s professionalism and attention to detail made what could have been a challenging trip feel seamless.
