So what do you think Jewel's filly is trying to say in the picture below?

We were laughing at the foals today. They had been locked up because of the rain and when they were finally let out neither baby could keep their feet on the ground. They were bouncing around their mothers like Tigger would bounce around Winnie the Poo. They really need to have a video made of their antics.

Sangria must roll and her colt must try to climb over her each time just ruining the moment.

Karin came today before the vaulting practice and worked mares. Ylse was first, what a beautiful Fantasy Friesian she is with her mega hair.

We are so thrilled she is safely in foal to Raven. To go along with all that hair she has a beautiful face.

Next out was Zalena. She is not as photogenic but still beautiful. Her neck is just unbelievable, sure hope she throws her gorgeous conformation with the foal she is carrying.

A few of the vaulters arrived early and had to play with the foals. Below is Becka going up to visit Jewel and her filly.

That filly stood there brave as could be for a bit for the petting.

And then took off showing us the back of her heels.

She is such a little spit fire. Sangria's colt is so elegant and laid back when he is not climbing over his mom.

The rain started up, the horses were put away, the vaulting practice had to be held in the indoor arena. As a special treat Mark took me to the deli in Hanna City for dinner. He had the antipasto salad and I had a Reuben and we both finished up with a piece of home made blueberry pie. The vaulters are leaving early tomorrow for a show, the truck will need to be filled with gas and the tires checked before hooking it up to the stock trailer. D & H called at 4:45pm to report the living quarter trailer is done and ready to go. The bill is $1620.99 and that's after they were given a deposit of $650.00. Oh well, it's just money. They close at 5:00pm not leaving enough time to drive in to pick it up. That will be done on Monday.
