Heathcliff Gone

Heathcliff's new owner left Kansas at 3:00am and made it to the farm by noon. Three guys came and they wanted to see all of the horses. They were most impressed with Raven but aren't we all. The really didn't have the money to buy Dr. Hoerr's filly and Heathcliff, they were impressed with what Raven throws. They own some quarter horse mares and are going to check with their vet on insemination charges. They loaded up Frannie and Heathcliff and left for the long trip home.
This morning on our walk we see Dalia very heavy in season backing into the boy's gate teasing them. Right in front of us, Valiant rears up, hits the electric fence with his hoof and knocks it off and comes very close to being able to cover her through the gate. We yell, Dalia moves away and Valiant tries to jump the gate clearing his front end and hanging his back end up the top of the gate. Mike has to physically lift first one back leg over the gate and then the final leg. Adrenalin is an amazing tool. Dalia was moved into the middle paddock so she cannot tease them. Izadora was also moved into the middle paddock, when we put Heathcliff into the stall she had a fit and wouldn't stop running and calling. Paris is in season and kept bothering Raven and she also was moved into the middle paddock.
Mark took off work and together we started boxing things up for the big move tomorrow. Once the truck was full we stopped boxing and drove to the farm to unload then to mom's for dinner. She fixed a wonderful stew with many good vegetables and tender beef served with a delicious salad and home baked bread. We were given a raspberry dessert left over from her sewing club. Before leaving for home I still needed to find a place for Dr. Hoerr's filly for the night. She was put in the pasture with Wynne and Sanna and the first thing Wynne does is chase her right into Raven's paddock. Poor little thing jumped the fence trying hard to stay away from her. Raven was curious but left her alone until I could get her out. She was then put in a paddock by herself but wasn't happy. Izadora wasn't happy either still looking for her boy, Mark helped move her in with the filly. We watched them for sometime and all is well. Both are glad for the company.
We have Plattner Orthopedic coming tomorrow morning around 10:00am. They are going to scan Raven's knee and see if there is anyway he can wear a brace. I'll need to be sure to take time from the moving to be there to hold Raven still.
