Well today we had a bit of a lye in, we got up at about 7, but that’s a lye in compared with the previous two days where we have had to get up between 3-5! Genie and Rio were stabled last night so they got let out into the paddock, and in true rio style he managed to escape twice in an hour even though the fence was run off the mains! We had a delicious French breakfast with bread and croissants. When we returned after breakfast we turned the horses back out into a different paddock where the fencing was better, however as we were packing the rest of our things and putiing them back into the lorry, Mr Houdini had managed to escape again and was trotting around the garden in a true LBE manner.
Once the horses were bandaged and loaded up we set off to continue the rest of our journey.
We only got lost once this time as we missed one of the turnings, but then we were back on track and heading for the Swiss border.
We reached the border at about 5.15 pm. As we got there the patrol men asked us to pull over because they needed to see our paperwork. So mum took the paperwork and headed to the office. About five minutes later mum returned and told us that they were not going to let us through the border today as we had arrived 15 minutes late after the office had closed! So they told us to come back tomorrow morning . At that point we really didn’t know what to do as we had know where for the horses to stay the night.
Luckily one of the other officers lived in a town nearby called…….., and they knew of a local farmer who had horses that might be able to offer us a stable for the night. After a phone call, it was all arranged and the horses could stay there.
