Hot Almost Unbearable!

How thankful we are that church is air-conditioned but what a shock to our system when we get home. Sanna and her filly were hosed off before changing out of our Sunday clothes. The filly was definitely weaker, once hosed off she reached under to nurse but just couldn't seem to latch on. They were taken into the stall and 150 cc's of Sanna's milk was force fed successfully. She then ate a few bites of grain. She will need feeding every hour and maybe we will see an improvement.
French Fry the Saddlebred mare is still in and was covered, then hosed off with cool water and fly sprayed before putting her back. Raven was also hosed. He LOVES cool water.
Heather from St. Louis emailed the picture below of her 2 Raven offspring. They are both Blue Roan's out of her bay roan mare Jackie.

She wrote how happy she was with both of them.
Mike came over and moved 3 round bales in, one for French Fry's paddock, one for Kim's mares and one for the middle paddock.
Sanna's filly was given another 90 cc's of milk at 3:00 and again at 4:00pm. Each time it seems to stimulate her appetite and she walks over to either try to nurse or eats a bite of grain. So far no luck on her latching on. Hopefully by tonight she will be nursing.
Amy Koch and 2 of her grandson's Parker and Brady came over to see Emma's pups. Emma was well behaved. Darcy had to show off a bit for them.
The apartment stinks today, as it is too hot to work outside, Mark is clear coating the bedroom and bathroom door.
