Middle Grove

 Rain was predicted to start around 9:30 am so right after the walk I took the truck and trailer to Middle grove. Mike was concerned that Aiken, one of the Thoroughbred mares, was getting ready to deliver. When I arrived the mares were all spread out grazing. Below are a few pictures.

It was raining as we were loading and rained all the way home. Star was put in with Missy and Cookie.

Star Temple was loaded into the trailer and taken home. She will be bred to Valiant when she comes in season. Dr. Hoerr came this afternoon to ultrasound Whiskey. She is not pregnant and had just ovulated. That meant she must have already ovulated when she arrived here 18 days ago and then had a shorter cycle. Dr. Hoerr called her owner who agreed to short cycle her. I will give her a shot on Monday. The part came for the batting machine so Mark and I went to the barn to work on that. We were able to install the new circuit board and were pleased that it worked when we put it back together.

I think the tire needs more air as it was a little louder than it should be. The rain had stopped when we finished in the barn. I needed to move the nursing mares into the pond pasture and to do that Dancer, Sheena and Titus needed to be moved into Raven's old paddock first to open up a paddock and shelter. Once that was done the mares were moved. Below you can see Valiant looking at his daughter, Blueberry's filly.

We just had a few minutes to get ready for church before we needed to leave. Tonight was the prayer meeting as tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer. We had a special evening of prayer. Click HERE if you would like to watch that. After church we went with the group to Culvers. I ordered a single but was given this!

It was really good but now I am full.  Diane sent a beautiful sunrise video from Gulf Shores.
