Early Morning Phone Call
The cell phone rang this morning around 6:30am one of the farm neighbors called to let me know there were horses out. They pounded and pounded on the farm house door but no one would answer, thank goodness the office sign has the phone number in LARGE NUMBERS. Mike was called and off to the farm I drove pushing the speed limit on each road wondering who would have escaped. All was well when I arrived so went about the feeding. Mike was called to find out which horses were out, it was Rachel's 3, Sandy is in season and came over to visit Raven, Sunny and Xena were quick to follow. Mike showed up on the 4 wheeler and helped move a new bale in the middle paddock and one in the boys paddock. Sangria was checked and still no sign of her getting any closer to delivery. Sanna's filly saw us and started calling for some attention. How wonderful it is to see healthy, friendly Friesian foals on the property. We will be moving Lily and Wynne over from the cabin field as soon as a new bale is placed in the breeding shed paddock. It is time to start teasing Lily. Wynne's ultrasound can be scheduled anytime after May 4th. Ribbon was put in the middle paddock instead of putting a new bale in the back. Sanna's paddock will need a new bale tomorrow.
