Knight and Anni

Anni and Knight were picked up this morning by 8:15am. We dropped off Knight at the farm, picked up Autumn and took both Anni and Autumn out to Middle Grove. Emily and Karin saddled up Autumn and Anni to go look for the horses. It took them about 15 minutes to find them and another 15 minutes to bring some of them back to the trailer. Steven Marchal halted Pacheron and tied him to the trailer for loading later, while I took some pictures and videos of Emily and Anni. After working on the video and finally getting it uploaded, I get a notice that the audio has been disabled. I'm waiting to upload different music, hopefully it will be done soon. I also took some pictures of Classy. He let Steven walk right up to him and stood very well for him. Jewell didn't want to stand for the pictures but even she warmed up. I checked over Clara and she is doing fine in her pregnancy. Once Emily was done riding Anni, she put on the skirt she made and had to model it on Anni. She made it full enough to drape over Anni's hips. I think she did a wonderful job on it. Once we were done with the pictures Steven loaded up Pacheron and went to close the trailer door and Pacheron had bent the latch. WE jury rigged it, then tied the door shut and headed back to the farm. I pulled Pacheron out of the trailer and started hosing him off to clean him up while Emily pulled Knight out of the paddock and harnessed him up for his driving video. Knight and Emily had so much fun in the field, he just about dumped her. She had him at a very fast trot and took a turn a little too narrow, but Emily was able to slide over and save the spill. She was laughing so hard she could hardly drive. After Knight's video we drove over to Diane's pond for a cool swim. Jenis' colt, Valiant was watching Emily in the water so we opened the gate and brought him over to the water. He went all the way in and started swimming with Emily. I ran to get the camera but he decided he was done and wanted to go back to him mom so I missed the shot. We put him away, fly sprayed off the three Friesian mares and headed home to work on the videos. We left the house a little after 5:00pm to eat at the Mongolian Barbecue. Rhoda met us there, then she took Sarah and Emily back to the house. Mike called while we were driving that he easily fixed the trailer latch. He said it was no big deal. The neighboring farmer at Middle Grove also called that his hay was cut yesterday and should be baled by Saturday. We will need to arrange transport to Hanna City and pay the bill. After dinner, we finished the videos, Rhoda pick the music for Knights and Emily picked the music for Anni's. Amy Koch let my horses out into the field tonight. I'll need to wake up early to bring them in before the Bridlewood stall help gets there. I think Apelles knocked down a board, she was in Honey's paddock so I'd better get out there with my hammer and nails.
