Today I had an appointment 1:30pm to show our vaulting barrel to a CIRTS instructor who is having one built. She also wanted to look at our foals and Big Sally so I decided to go early and clean up the horses and do a job I had been putting off. The stalls are now all cleaned, the aisle swept, the horses grained and the foals shown. The instructor is looking for a beginner vaulting horse and thought maybe Big Sally would fit the bill as she is half Percheron but Sally would need work for that and she is due in May which would put off training. Shadow, Chloe and Wanda were all brought in the arena, tied up and groomed a bit before she arrived. Funny they had a tough time telling the difference in the 3 foals but the prices are quite different, Wanda is priced at $8000.00, Shadow at $3500.00 and Chloe at $2500.00. They asked a couple of times which was which. While they were looking at the foals Big Sally decided she had been tied up long enough, untied her lead rope and took off running straight to her paddock. I left her loose while I put the babies away. Sally is looking HUGE and still had 2 and 1/2 months to go.
now for the patience & wisdom picture:
