Izadora's New Colt

I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures of Izadora's new colt born on October 19th, 2009.
He has a beautiful face, wonderful conformation, and is BLACK, what more could anyone ask for?

He loves to run around his mom driving her crazy, just like most boys!

He is a big fellow, and just plain beautiful!

We had a productive day at the farm, the sun was out but the ground is saturated with the over 2 inches of rain again. When we drove up to the farm Karin came through with some riders from Denver, CO and Mansfield, OH. They were going on a short ride as the Denver people were leaving and had a 14 hour trip ahead of them. Mike helped move in 3 round bales while Mark checked out the heating system in the office. We now have it hooked up and will have heat this winter. Hopefully no one will leave a door open. Last winter we had frozen pipes so this was a must do. The skid steer tracks will need to be power washed off again, the mud is awful but thank goodness we have a way to move hay in the mud. We have had so MUCH mud this year. Once done with the morning chores we walked over to mom's to visit and she was still serving breakfast. That really tasted good, we ate some of the left over egg casserole from the Old School Center. Most of the food was taken to the church where it was divided up and sent with out of town guest for their long drive back but the breakfast foods ended up back at moms. After breakfast Mark started up his chain saw to cut up the trees that were down along the fence line while I took Darcy over to Diane's to check on 4 horses Mike had prepared for the next trail ride. Darcy had to jump in the pond for a quick swim and I mean quick, the water is COLD! Once home we heated up some left over chicken and wild rice soup for dinner, then crashed by the heater reading.
