Sit Evan Sit

We are getting more snow but that didn't stop Eva Jean and I from showing up at work today and work we did. We were swamped with studies, so many we were only able to get the mail opened and entered. Eva Jean ended up taking home the bulk of the work. She will need to apply the labels, separate the studies, stuff the studies and deliver them to the graders. Mark needed the car and was willing to deliver the Bibles to Skyline in order to have it. Philip gave me a ride home. As we were pulling in Steven called to report Jenis had climbed through the gate pretty much demolishing it and was standing over with the boys. Sure enough she is in season and covered by Evan. Then as Steven was putting Evan in the stall for trick training Ayanna and Lily both came up to show. Evan was put in the stall, Lily brought right outside the gate with Rosalie staying in the paddock and Valiant brought over. That was 2 successful covers. Steven then did some sit training with Evan. It took a while for to achieve the first successful sit but when he sat he was willing to stay, it must be comfortable for him. The picture below was the second and last time he was asked to sit on the hay bales. I didn't have my camera so used Steven's cell phone to take the picture.

What a good boy, he again sat quietly until asked to move. Ayanna was taken into the paddock next to the stall barn and Evan brought out and introduced to her.  We weren't sure if Ayanna would stand as she is a maiden and wanted plenty of room for him to get away if she didn't but she stood almost perfect. That was 3 successful covers in the matter of a couple of hours.
