Sponge Bath

It was too cold to bathe Ciera but she needed a bath, what to do, what to do. A 5 gallon bucket of hot water was drawn from the apartment shower and Ciera was given a sponge bath, trying to get the worst of the dirt and dust off. The boys were locked up and she was turned out in the pasture to dry in the sunshine. She had to show off a bit before grazing.

Later when it was time to get her was when I discovered she rolled, and not in the grass. She was taken back to the wash rack and sponged off again. This time she was led into the big field to dry off with me right there. The transport company called Rhoda just a bit ago to say they were 10-15 hours away. Not sure why they called her and how they got her number. The hair from Jewel and Valiant were sent in today along with the check to register 9 horses and dna 5. That bill came to $445.00. The Friesian Heritage Horse requires a dna test on any pure or partbred Friesian mare or stallion used for breeding. I still owe them hair from Hadassah but we will have to catch her first. After dinner Mark drilled the final 30 holes for the West side of the property and together we hauled the final 30 posts there. They still need to be set and then we will be ready to start stringing the high tensile wire. This evening I designed and ordered our new business cards. Our old ones had our land line phone number which we no longer have. These are simple but say what I want.
