Samantha

After vaulting last night, Karin, Mike, Diane and I took 2 horse trailers out to Middle Grove to pick up the horses we need for the camping trip along with Clara and her colt. When we were all loaded up we realize we are only leaving Ciera, Chloe and Wanda there alone. Probably not a good idea hope they don't get into trouble. Usually we make sure there are mature horses along with the yearlings just in case they are threatened by a predator. We loaded Clara and her colt in the front of the stock trailer and Izadora and Knight in the back, Mika and Jewell were loaded in the 2 horse. When the trailers drove up the horses came running in a herd to see who was coming to visit.
In the picture below Jewell is in the lead.
With the Wanda, Ciera and Chloe bringing up the rear. Wanda and Chloe are neck and neck and Ciera is bringing up the rear by a half of length.
Karin and I made plans to take Lily, Ayanna, Paris and Caden out to be with the fillies today at 3:00 except we had to put it off. The rain started around 10:00am and just kept on raining until the ground is again saturated.
Samantha tested the same last night, no progress, which is good the foal needs more time in-utero but we decided to spend the night anyway just in case. Velvet and her colt were in the stall across from Samantha and every time either mare urinated, I would wake up thinking it was Samantha's water breaking. We left at 6:00am to come home and get some much needed coffee. After breakfast it was back to the farm, Mark to work on cutting down trees on the fence line and me to clean stalls. Mom invited us over for some fresh baked yeast cranberry bread around 10:00am but by 3:00pm hunger is starting growl so it was home for a late lunch. Samantha will be tested tonight to see if the calcium level is rising and if it is Karin will probably spend the night with me. If not, she may as well get a good night sleep, no sense in both of us losing out.
