A REAL Practice

Karin held a 'real' vaulting practice this morning. Real as in she started with the barrel


then moved to the horse. It was really hot again even at 9:00 am so Oksana was hosed down before the practice.
 Oksana has the disposition we want but we really need to slow her trot down to a jog and we are not sure if that is even possible for a Friesian. If any horse can do it, it would be Oksana. Practice went well and she is learning to stay steady at the walk.






 After the vaulting practice Sally, Sangria, Cookie, and Jenis were tacked up to join Oksana and Karin took the girls on the 'death trails'. Shaeya and Berlica rode Sally double, Sadie rode Sangria, Wren rode Cookie, Faith rode Oksana and Karin rode Jenis. 





 If you would like to see the rest of the pictures from this morning click HERE. Taunya took the kids to the playground and lake where they joined Anna's kids and the cousins played and swam all afternoon. I had to run to Sam's to buy food for the Berean meal tomorrow and pick up a couple of the canvas pictures of Valiant for the apartment walls. Sam's had a special going on a couple weeks ago so I was able get pictures of both stallions in canvas for the walls of the apartment. Hopefully Diane will help figure out where to hang them.  As soon as I got home from Sams the house was cleaned and the laundry done then supper started. Ronny, Taunya's dad came for dinner. After dinner Addyson took her grandpa and her 3 brothers for a long golf cart ride. She is a very careful driver and everyone felt safe. 

 Well maybe Jace and Abe didn't feel very safe. They look kind of worried in the picture below. 
This evening Mark changed the oil in the mower. I had 2 stalls to clean as Roxanne and Zalena were both stalled during the day. It is just so hot outside I don't want to stress these black babies.  The air was turned on and both mares and their foals enjoyed cooling off but all were glad to get back outside this evening.  Both Sangria and Jenis came back in season. Sangria was covered this morning but I'm not sure the timing is right. I'll try her again in a couple days. Jenis is just now coming in so I'll wait a few days before trying her again.  Roxanne should be coming into her foal heat and will be teased tomorrow.
