Sanna Dilemma

After the talk last night I was determined to do as the speaker said and get up a lot earlier go to a secret (quiet) place and spend time with the Lord. The dogs made sure I was up early, but they didn't hit the target of 4:30am instead of 5:00am just a bit late. The problem with this is more time must be spent in prayer than reading as the eyes are too blurry to focus until after the first cup of coffee is consumed and by that time the household starts to wake. Perhaps a better way would be still get up at 5:00am but instead of starting business, go straight to the secret place.
Sanna is looking great, she is keeping her weight up even nursing her big filly and the swelling on her leg is gone now Mike wants to keep her. The problem with having partners that get attached to the inventory is it makes it hard to run the business profitably. He is right in the fact she can easily have another foal. Her current filly is exquisite and easily worth $8000.00, why should we sell her in foal with the filly by her side for $12,000.00? The reason I feel she should be sold is she should have more individual attention next winter. Not turned out with a herd and not put in a boarding situation unless the boarder knows she will get enough to eat. Sanna will not fight for food. She must be given time by her self to eat. The best place for Sanna would be with hay in front of her at all times, like a good quality round bale and only 1 companion. Sanna actually enjoys coming into the stall when the sun is hot. So it comes down to we will be very picky about who buys her, if we feel it is not the right place she will stay with us. Steven told us last year, Sanna is going to be a Horsemeister lifer. He may be right.
I'm going to ask Rhoda to help with a new video of Sanna and her filly and get some better pictures on Friday, Rhoda's next day off.
