Terry and I returned to the ranch last night after a wonderful trip to Saudi Arabia, where we delivered a dozen horses for Ahmed and Saleh. Thank you, gentlemen, for the opportunity to ship your horses for you.
Unfortunately, Ahmed was not feeling well on arrival day, so he did not come to the airport to see his new horses.
The weather in Dammam is perfect at this time of year. However, a big wind storm came along just at offloading time. You can imagine how much fun that was - twelve spirited Arabian horses that are eager to get out of their shipping containers on a crisp and windy morning. Happily, it went well and all horses and humans came through the adventure without any injuries.
After we said goodbye to Ahmed's and Saleh's horses, we took a taxi to Dhahran where we visited with our clients and friends, Saaed and Hamad. It was so nice seeing them both and spending some time catching up with each other's news. Saaed treated us to dinner at a very nice restaurant at the Saudi Aramco Compound in Dhahran and before we knew it, it was time to return to the airport for our flight back to the USA. Thank you, Saaed, for a very nice break in our day.
Tomorrow, three horses go to Amsterdam, accompanied by our friend, Phil Pelch.
Thank you, Naser and Mariska for sharing your horses with us.
