A Thoroughbred mare named Fire came here yesterday afternoon to be bred to Valiant. Her daughter Calypso is a 4 year old by RAVEN and she was suppose to also come but the owner felt she is SO big she would take up too much room in the trailer and will bring her today. Now the interesting thing that happened with Fire is that she showed quite strongly for Raven. We were using Raven to tease her as this will be Valiant's first time. We actually had to force her away from Raven to the breeding stand. Steven brought Valiant over and Fire emphatically said, "NO!" she would have nothing to do with him. It was like she remembered Raven from when she was here 5 years ago and would accept nothing but the best. We will have to change her mind, the owner wants a Valiant baby. Valiant is looking more and more like his daddy, he was so impressive when Steven brought him over and this is just a 2 year old!
Steven worked Jewel, Ciera and Super then had to leave, Rhoda showed up and worked Ella then left for her volley ball game. We spent the rest of this cold damp day reading. Dinner was hot split pea soup(out of a can and not very good)then into bed by 8:00pm.
Braelyn is coming this morning and we have a lady driving down from Joilet wanting to see Super. She is planning on being here at 12:30pm.
