The weather was crisp this morning and only went into the 80s today, so nice after the 92 degrees yesterday. We had a busy horse day today. Ribbon and her filly were moved into the field with Sanna and her filly, there is more grass in the second field.
Jenis is in season but had to wait until tonight to try to breed her, there is no way I would try her by myself. Raven is so afraid of her he wants to do his job but loses his interest each time she backs up. She is a magnificent mare and must be bred so we force the issue.
After work Mark and I started on putting up the railings on the arena, getting perhaps a quarter of it finished before dark. Spark and Rhonda showed up to help and wouldn't you know I didn't have my camera. When Rhoda pulled up she was put into work to help with Jenis but we just had no luck and Rhoda needed to go get Bunni to get him excited enough to do his job. Mike showed up just at the right time to help finish the job. Rhoda had a quick ride on Bunni while Mike moved in a round bale for the boys and one for the middle paddock.
Earlier today a picture was snapped of Sanna and her filly peacefully grazing.
They are just so beautiful. The filly at only 4 months old already has long curly feather. This is really an amazing amount for such a young Friesian. The picture is of one of her front legs.
As long as the camera was out, Ribbon's filly's picture was taken. She has surprised us with how friendly she is. She was showing off today driving her mother crazy.
Tomorrow morning Lily comes home. A trip to Quincy, IL will be started at 7:00am as the man that bought the finish mower wants to pick it up around 3:30pm and someone needs to be here to run the skid steer. It is a 3 hour trip each way.
French Fry is leaving tomorrow morning, her stallion certificate has been printed out and is posted on her stall. The shipper was told where to get her and given mom's phone number if she needs help. She is going to try to be here by 9:00am.
