>>use a big box on a flat dolly this has been the easiest way to move them in my experience it's all about good wheels
>>put hat in the box or crate
>>i have also moved them in a wheel barrel
>>use caution and have an extra person hold them in while you move them
>> put hay in the bottom to make it snug
>>or rest the back of the shell on your belt buckle and go
>>anyway you slice it or dice it
>>It is hard work
>>

The problem though for me Jeff is.. how do I pick her up to get her into the wheel barrow? LOL
My husband has moved her in the wheelbarrow in the past but I can't pick her up more than one inch off the ground anymore.
He wasn't here that night so I had to resort to tricks and irritating her so that I could get her to move on her own.
I've often thought a 2 wheel dolly might work for me if it could be modified so that the flat part on the ground would fit all the way under her.
She's a big girl now!
