Izadora
Above is Izadora and her colt. I need to get some updated pictures, this was taken last week (I think he is 2 days old)in it, these foals grow so fast.
made it to the farm by 7:00am, got everyone grained, then over to mom's to get ready to walk. It is very entertaining watching Heidi before mom comes out of her house. Heidi takes flying leaps onto the deck, off the deck, through the doggy door of the garage, out the doggy door and onto the front porch all the time howling and barking. As soon as mom comes out and tells her "Go" Heidi takes off in a huge circle as fast as she can run. Once this circle is out of the way she is ready for the walk.
Mike showed up right as we got to the farm loop the second time so I dropped out and helped get Izadora covered. She is in big and stood very well even with her foal on the other side of the fence. Izadora has settled down and not acting nervous at all any more. She is very proud of her son but no longer trying to keep everyone away from him. Once she is out of season she can go back into the mare and foal paddock. We moved Sanna into the paddock with Jenis and Ylse. It is good to have the 3 foals together. Before I left for home we removed 6 of the 2x6 boards off the side of one of the shelters so horses can eat from 2 sides instead of just from the front.
6:00pm It has been a gray rainy day, just about the entire day but this morning we saw a tiny and I mean tiny bit of sunshine. Still I got the shopping done for Canton School tomorrow at the Old School Center. We are serving hot fragrant, salty popcorn, sweet pink and blue cotton candy, luscious moist bun length hot dogs and bottled water to any of the students that were well behaved during this semester. They will be here from 9:00am to 11:00am. Joan and her daughters will help.
We left for Bible study at Howard and Nancy Herman's house at 6:15pm and drove through wave after wave of rain. Mark actually dropped me off at the door to try to keep the books dry. I think we need to start ordering lumber for the Ark that will be needed if this keeps up.
We were home by 8:30pm and it is still POURING!
