Diane hosted breakfast yesterday at 8:00am for us and our guests. As soon as that was over we migrated over to the farm for a grand tour. Jenis was brought out and teased. As she was still in season, Emily got to AI her with everyone watching. Then it was time to load and leave for the parade. Nancy, mom and Taegan got to ride inside the fire truck.
The vaulters all lined up on top of the fire truck
Anni on Jenis waiting for the parade to start.
Gail and Rhonda stuffing tracts with the goodies to be thrown
The vaulters having a very emotional good-by to Ribbon's filly. She has been sold so this was the last time they would see her.
Grandma Gail with Jasper on top of the fire engine. Jasper wasn't too thrilled to be there at first.
She obviously bribed her with something Kristin, just look at the smile now!
This next shot was during the parade, the vaulters performed their entire routine 4 times as they walked behind Spark's fire truck and in front of a Hanna City fire truck.
Watchers waiting for the goodies to be thrown. The rest of the pictures were placed on Mark's Facebook page.
After the parade Ribbon, her filly, Indy and Killian were hauled to Middle Grove. I was going to bring Sangria, Sally and Bunni back since they are all due mid September but ran out of time searching for the herd. Mytross' buyer was scheduled to come at 2:00pm and showed up early. Emily was bringing them over from the cabin field as I pulled up to see the buyer already there waiting. They loaded fine and left so the next load of 4 horses were loaded and taken to Middle Grove. Mark went along to help with this load carrying Ayanna, Holly, Marika and Zalena. They were just dumped and left to find the others on their own, we had to rush back to get to the Hanna City park where Rachel's kids were performing at 4:45pm. We didn't quite make it in time but it didn't matter the schedule was running a bit behind so we got to hear their entire performance. These kids were PAID to perform!
There was a nice crowd to hear them and they sounded great. Great talent just seems to run in this family.
The rest of these pictures were also placed on Mark's Facebook page. Right after they were done P.O.T.C. brought out their dog agility equipment and gave us all a fun demonstration.
The rest of these pictures were placed on the Horsemeister, Inc Facebook page. Mom decided my car was just too filthy for church tomorrow and insisted on washing my car before we drove Nancy home to Morton.
With such a nice clean car we needed to show it off and stopped at Burger King for dinner. We were the only customers so mom decided to play a nasty trick on someone filling a chair with ice water.
OK the real story is a glass of water was spilled the workers were told and they cleaned up the floor but didn't see the chair. We didn't tell them about it so hopefully it has time to dry before anyone else sits there.
The day didn't end there we still needed to cover Lola with Valiant and Jewel with Evan then fix breakfast sandwiches for our guests who are leaving for the jail early this morning. As I was taking the sandwiches over to Mike and Diane's for the people staying in the cabin and her house Diane got a picture text. Andrew and Rachel had a beautiful baby born. They named him Crew Honegger.
