Last night we started hauling horses back from Middle Grove, We worked until Midnight, got up at 5:00am and hauled 2 more loads then had to stop as the ground was getting soft. We have only one more load to go and we will do that early tomorrow morning as it is suppose to be 18 degrees and the road should still be passable.
Dr. Hoerr came earlier than I expected so Steven Marchal had his hands full. He had 11 horses all in the barn waiting for the vet. That sounds easier than it is, he had to tromp through the mud, halter each one and when you bring one horse through the gate invariably one of the other mares want to come too. We had 11 coggins drawn besides the sonagrams. Both Clara and Ribbon are in foal, we could even see the heartbeat on Clara's foal as she is 40 days along. Dr. Hoerr told me today that he would like to breed 3 of his mares to Raven this year.
I got home at 4:00pm from a very long day outside in the cold and found my daughter Sarah making dinner. YEAH!!! Thank goodness for teen age daughters.
I need a nap.
