Lee has arrived ??? he is having a rest while he and the others clear customs in Holland, then he will be on the truck on his way to us in Italy!!
He was happy all the way and the flight grooms and Sue have been sending me updates constantly.
So much gratitude to everyone ??

Lee just had all his fluffy winter coat shaved off at Jayes Park where he is waiting with his other flight buddies to fly tomorrow and will have a bath and final vet check before he leaves.
Sue and Cameron from EIAF have gone above and beyond taking care of Lee and ensuring he gets to us as cheaply as possible. They took $1,000 off his flight cost and he is still flying in a crate and a half.
The total cost of his flight and travel and care is a big $25,119.50 but we managed to pull every fund possible from everyone helping us and together with this fundraiser we paid for his flight and travel plus his tack box and saddle to go with him.
It's so soon now that he arrives here!!
We'll keep you all updated xox

Lee has had his vet check and blood test done and he is good to go! The August 14th flight had a few hiccups but in the end he is only able to go by taking a crate and a half spot! So business class it is for him. We are over the moon with excitement and so is Lee. Your beautiful amazing donations and sharing has made this monumental trip come alive for Lee and we ALL are forever grateful to the many giving, caring and loving people in this world. Julie Dingley your efforts are beyond us, you are amazing!!
Unfortunately the costs have risen as the space got bigger and our goal has been pushed a bit further out.
With flight, transport, vet checks and his tack & saddle box joining him, we are having to increase the fundraiser goal.
THANKFULLY there has been a very amazing and special person that is bringing forth the remaining amount to ensure Lee doesn't miss out on this flight and this fundraiser will continue on after he arrives to pay them.
Every donation counts and every person you share it with is felt from our dearest Lee.
Soon he will be home xox The children won't let mummy be the only one to sleep with him the first night he arrives though...
Sorry the photo would not load upright!!

I am sure you can't wait to see Lee. I realise that funding will be needed to cover his expenses for a while, and hope that more people find it in their hearts to help you. I thank you for trying to make a difference in an often cruel and thoughtless world. You do make a difference! I am still sharing. Bless you all.

Catherine, I learned of your effort to bring Lee home from my sweet friend, Julie Dingley. I want to help you bring her back to you and I hope that this small gesture contributes with those of others to ensure your long awaited reunion with Lee. "Horse Girls" everywhere need little explanation of why one would work so hard to be reunited with her soulmate horse. I know. Wishing you a safe transport and a joyful reunion. I would be honored to meet you one day.
