Sangria's Shadow
Yesterday Braelyn was playing with an old icecream bucket. It was pretty funny watching her try to move while standing in the bucket. Just for all you parents who think that is dangerous... Braelyn is a thinker and figured out pretty quickly she wasn't going anywhere until at least one foot was out.
After a very busy day down in the Berean warehouse it was time to continue the work at the farm that didn't get done in the morning. Not that we were slacking or anything but 4 new bales needed to be put in for the horses early, some of the paddocks were almost completely out of hay. The boys got one, the middle paddock 2 and Cor's paddock the last. Thankfully Mark drove the skid steer while I removed the net wrap.
Clair was teased today and she is starting to show. She will be covered tomorrow as all three stallions were used today. Probably will use Valiant on her, he seems to have the most drive now that Raven is older. Avalon was covered by Evan, Prissy was covered by Valiant and Sangria was covered by Raven.
Sangria wasn't going to be covered, I had her out grazing along with her colt. He was just like a shadow sticking right by her side matching stride for stride. she took off and ran over to flirt with Raven and basically refused to walk away until she was covered.
Yes I know she still looks pregnant but Sangria had colic surgery after giving birth to Orchata just ruining her girlish figure. She probably figures "why even try to lose weight, I'll always have a big belly anyway and besides Raven likes big girls."
Her colt wasn't sure about meeting dad but dad was very curious about him.
He is such an elegant colt.
I just found my niece Anni Davidovic's blog and added it to my favorites. Check her blog out by clicking on the link to the right, such insight for a teenager.
