A message came while we were in church that the people coming to see Samantha and her filly were going to be late and would I call them. This was done during lunch and we made out to meet tomorrow which left us free for Norris. The farm was the first stop so Samantha could be covered and that was one weird cover. Raven was taken over to the cabin field, Samantha came running up to the fence very interested so Raven was tied, Samantha brought out and tied and Raven brought over. She tried to kill him, started mule kicking. Raven is great about getting out of the way and didn't even get clipped. Samantha was put back in the field and again Raven brought over and again she was showing big time. This time I tied Raven, tied her up in the cabin field, had Jamie hold the filly and brought Raven up and no showing, no sign of being in. As soon as Raven was out of the field and she was again let loose she came right over to the fence again showing. I don't know if I was brave or stupid but this time she was left loose in the cabin field and the gate opened for Raven, she not only let him mount she stood quietly. Never had that happen before.
The sun was so bright that when the horses were in the trees the shadows made them look all spotted. It was unusual enough a picture needed to be snapped. Once Raven was put back and fed it was over to mom's to cook hamburger. Ben and Taunya joined us for dinner. Addyson can now say 'doggie and horsey' She said doggie very clearly.
We headed to the Herman Lake in Norris, IL for competitive volley ball by 6:00pm. There were at least 4 teams rotating in and out. Winner to keep playing but what was interesting the teams were pretty equal as each team would win, stay in for the next then lose. There was a HUGE group of people at the Herman Lake. We were the first to pull out, wanted to be home by dark!
