Early this morning checking on the mares and foals I noticed the automatic waterer in the breeding shed over flowing. Mike was sent a text. Then checking Jewel and noticing some waxing, Mike was sent another text letting him know I would be moving her today. Anna dropped off Kensley during our walk so Mark took her on a walk with him meeting up with us when we headed down the barn drive. Kensley finished the walk with us women. She is a good hiker. We had a good morning although I needed to borrow a car seat for her to run in the TEMCO to pick up the Berean mail for tomorrow. She fell sound asleep and stayed asleep until we made it back home. In her mind we hadn't even left. We picked up Taegan from the bus and went to the playground where we met up with Berlica and Faith. The 4 girls had the best time playing together.
After having fun playing games on the 2 trampolines we took the golf cart over to Joan's house to get boots for Faith. On the way we pass the alligator swamp and saw a lot of turtles sunning themselves on logs.
Faith agreed to go with me to help with pictures of Hadassah's filly. You see she gets paid to do this. Tomorrow I'll pick up cheese cake at Sam's Club. Faith LOVES cheese cake.
This filly is sold and the owner named her A Dreamy Ellagance or Ella for short.
After picking up her hooves they were let loose in the arena. The filly aimed for the block and jumped it.
Her owner was emailed the pictures and a short video of Ella running around her mama.
Next we went back to the playground to climb the tree.
We took the golf cart over to great grandma's house and the 3 older girls rode on the roof while Kensley rode with me.
Kensley, Taegan and Berlica cleaned all the toys up at mom's house. They had fun playing with the toys and putting the toys away so they could play on the new rug.
Karin called after she got off work to tell me that Cookie was lame at Middle Grove. We think she may have foundered on the lush green grass. Karin walked her down to the road to help me load when I got there with the truck and trailer. She was walking a bit better but still stiff. This evening she was given 2 grams of bute and if she isn't better I'll call Dr. Hoerr tomorrow once the clinic is open to see if I can do anything else for her. Since Jewel needs to be stalled tonight Missy was put in the stall across the aisle to keep her company. After supper Mark and I went over to Joan's to work on the solar system. Joan came out to help. Tonight we marked out where the holes will be dug for the support system. As soon as we finished that I went straight to the barn to bring in 3 bags of bedding, clean two stalls, give Jewel and Missy 2 fresh buckets of water and now I'm finally in for the night. Except the foaling camera isn't turning on for Jewel's stall on the computer but it IS working on the phone. Not sure what the problem is but the phone will be plugged in by our bed tonight so it will be easy to check on her during the night. I sure am thankful for those foaling cameras.
