Weaning Day

After church Diane, Mike, Barbara Munther, and I drove out to the Middle Grove farm and loaded up 6 horses, 3 went to the Hanna City farm and the other 3 plus Ciera came to Bridlewood for weaning. The mom's are crying, the babies are crying and Classy, who I brought with the babies for company is crying. Big Sally's colt was left at Middle Grove. He attached himself to Ribbon after we loaded up Big Sally and Ribbon took off for the back 40 so we gave up on him. We will load him out the next trip. Classy is very black except for a little brown on his muzzle. I will clean him up, get the burrs out of his mane and tail and get a new video of him, he is GORGEOUS! Royal is very elegant looking, Walker Sally's filly Chloe is the smallest but also the youngest. She was so good, stepped right in the trailer, let me halter her but didn't lead as well as I'd hoped, OH well that will come with some work. Ciera is amazing, she jumped right in the trailer and leads great.
Rachel was out at the farm taking Christmas pictures so we took wings and a halo and put them on Darcy and took a picture for the back of our card. Mom decided she wanted hers on a Friesian but the girls brought her Ylse instead of Jenis. After wards mom told me that horse was not very well behaved. She didn't realize she was on the WRONG horse. Ylse has the least amount of training and would have stood and posed if the girls would have brought even one other horse over. Good thing mom didn't get hurt. Rhoda and Monica took some video of Sanna and her filly, I'll try to get it uploaded tomorrow if all goes ok.
Back in Hanna City we had pizza around the fire, the kids (with a few adults) played football while the rest sat around the fire talking.
