Paris & Son

He really has a nice long neck. Infact we think he has about perfect conformation.

Diane fed Paris for me this morning so I was able to go out later to the farm. Izadora was grained, then moved in with the herd to open up that paddock for Paris & son. He is such a cutie! Paris loved being outside but was careful to keep between the baby and the other paddocks. I had the camera so took a few pictures. Ralph picked up square bales for us, we need 11 to take down to Springfield, IL for the fair. We actually bought 150 bales along with Ralph and Jamie but don't have them delivered yet. It is nice to have square bales available for when they are needed.
The fair contacted us that we can bring all of our horses down on Thursday night. That will give us Friday to bathe 7 horses and set up the stall decorations. I called the hotel to add Thursday night for our package and the receptionist said it was already reserved. Turns out the hotel had reserved Thursday and Friday for the vaulters instead of Friday and Saturday. It was a good thing I called, we would have not had a place to sleep. Karin was able to get it straightened out.
Mike moved in round bales for Lily's paddock and the foal paddock.
Anni leaves at 9:00am tomorrow morning, yes, one less mouth to feed!
Cant figure out why doesn't someone offer on Velvet, she is such a good buy right now, we have her listed at $2000.00 and she is due in May. Her 2008 colt was fantastic and sold at weaning for FAR more than we are asking for her. If she doesn't sell by March 15th, we will keep her, let her deliver and then just sell the foal but to me this just doesn't make sense. Some could get a very valuable BLACK Friesian sport horse, raise it the way they want, then sell Velvet once the foal is weaned.
