Perfect Weather

The 2003 truck needed to be unhooked from the big trailer so I could get the brakes looked at but when I called Zanes they are only open Monday through Thursday and today is Friday. I'll have to wait until Monday to get an appointment. Karin arrived as I was hooking up the new truck to the big trailer and helped guide me in. As soon as she was done with that she took Soul and her filly by Evan out to the round pen. Below are a few pictures of her session with Soul.
She asked her to lay down, really just to see if Soul remembered the cues and she did.
Of course she got a treat for that. Her filly was pretty confused.
Berlica arrived and Karin asked Berlica and I to go to the cabin to get Sally while she put Soul away and brought out Lola. By the time we got back with Sally she was putting Lola away so I only snapped one picture of her filly.
 Sally is learning to relax in the round pen.
 Sangria was brought out next. This mare has amazing movement.
 Karin and Faith tacked up Ayanna as she was needed for the morning trail ride. Faith rode her over to the cabin and waited while the others got their horses tacked up.

 This trail ride was for Chad and Julie's girls but their son Boone got to ride with Emma over to the play ground.
 Evan came running up to greet the mares as they turned the corner.

They cantered up the hill at the end.
After the ride they came over to the barn to see Hadassah's 2 day old filly.
Mark got home early and wanted to work on cutting up wood in the mare pasture. Lily, Tori and their colts were turned out in the big field while he was working.

Tori's colt was watching him work and I just happened to catch him with his tongue stuck out.
Lily's colt was looking at something in the field.
That turned out to be Kabur, Sarah Reinhard's dog. He was hunting something but in a very dangerous spot, midway between two mares with their foals.
Lily came over to see what he was doing.
And then ATTACKED! The next few pictures are of Lily trying to kill Kabur for daring to be near her colt.

Thankfully Kabur got away without getting stomped or bit.
Hadassah and her filly were taken out of the stall and brought out where the other two mares were grazing. She was happy to be out on grass but stayed pretty far away from the other two mares.
Evan could hardly stand that they were not in the pasture next to him. 
As we were heading to the wood shed Spark and Rhonda came walking over. They were just out for their evening stroll.
We have had so much rain lately that the wood shed roof is growing quite a crop.
Ava, Joan's grand daughter was celebrating her birthday at the lake and Karin took the guests out for trail rides this evening. Below are a few pictures.

Lily, Tori and their colts were put in the indoor arena for the night. Hadassah and her filly were stalled for the night. The weather today was just perfect for working and playing outside and I am thankful
