Sanna and Cindy In Foal


Somehow Ebby OR it could be Heidi found this brand new baby deer and dragged it up to mom's house. There was no way Ebby could carry THIS around. Joan offered to bury it, poor thing.
I never was able to get back online to finish yesterdays blog. Sarah came in late because they couldn't get the barn lights on. She was told where the breaker was but she accidentally turned off of electricity. This shut off the computer and lost the information. Then this morning every ones electricity went out. Dr. Hoerr was scheduled for sonograms good thing Mike brought over a generator. We are pleased to announce both Sanna and Cindy are in foal. Kay's mare was sonagramed to find out where she is in this season. She is probably within 48 hours of ovulating. Dr. Hoerr sedated and twitched her and she still kicked at Raven. He left a shot for Sunday, the next time she needs to be covered. A trip in to the shop had to be done for the next trip out.
Lily and Wynnie and both of their fillies were loaded at 2:00pm and off we went for Quincy, IL. Wynnie, Kenzie and Kiera were a birthday gift for a very special lady. I stopped the truck and trailer when we were less than ten minutes away, groomed the horses and put big red bows on the three she was getting. When I pulled up to the barn I asked for Jill and told her she had a special delivery. She saw the truck and when the horses were unloaded asked, Are these Raven babies? Pretty cool, by looking at the Horsemeister name she knew they were Raven foals. Jill was a very happy birthday lady, she was really having trouble comprehending this gift, this huge gift!
The weather was awful on the way home. All traffic had to pull to the side of the road the rain was coming down so hard. By the time we were able to start driving a beautiful rainbow stretching from the west to the east came out, God's promise He will never flood the Earth again.
I drove straight to Princeville, IL and picked up Airiah, Eliza, and Dalia from Dr.Calhoun. All of their teeth are now done. It was a good thing we did Airiahs, she still had wolf teeth.
I made it back to the farm by 10:00pm. Airiah was unloaded, then put in the pasture behind Ravens, she immediately backs into him and he starts going over the fence. Whoops, she is still in season and had to be moved. She was put in with the pregnant mares until tomorrow. The other two were put in the pasture, hope they all behave tonight, I'm exhausted!
Hopefully the pictures from today can be uploaded tomorrow.
