Lion and the Lamb

On the walk this morning we see an unusual sight. Kind of reminded us of the prophecy the lion will lay down with the lamb only this was a goat and a dog.
 We are going with the number 5 today, Emily worked 5 horses, I made videos of 3 of them then pictures of the other 2 which add up to 5, horses were moved and pastures were mowed for 5 hours. Right after the walk the weather was cool so Zalena's colt was given a tying lesson While Emily was tacking up Zalena for a short video and a few pictures of her colt for his owners.
The next mare worked was Eliza so we could get a video of her filly which is for sale.

She is such a friendly filly, Today was only the second time ever to put her halter on and she didn't care at all.
I walked in to download the videos and saw a message from a lady wanting to see a riding video of Bonnie.
Emily had just taken Sunny on a trail ride when I went back to tell her she was going to have to ride another one.


After a very quick ride on Bonnie for the video she got busy on mowing the pastures and stuck with this job the rest of the afternoon.
After supper she had time to ride one more horse and chose Valiant as he hadn't been worked in a while. Valiant gave her a good workout. Some of his canter work is very expressive. 
We needed to move Eliza and Zalena over to the cabin field and when we showed up Mike was working on the cabin electricity while Diane was weeding her hosta beds.

Mark needed to get the snow tires off his van so we were working on that in the big barn and I noticed the dandelion fluff on the mower deck from today's work. 
It was a long day but we sure got a lot accomplished.
