Sunday Morning

Mike called around 5:00am to report all was well so the farm trip was put off until after 6:00am, nice to get that extra hour in bed.
Once at the farm both mares were waiting to be fed. Velvet really wants out but there are no paddocks available right now and no time to watch her in the field. Her colt is doing laps around her bucking and squealing. After church when they are turned out to graze the video camera should be ready to capture his antics, he is really funny. Both stalls were cleaned. Velvet's is easy as it is bedded with equine fresh, a pelleted pine product, Samantha's stall is bedded with straw and is there anything worse than cleaning that? The straw is not as absorbent and sticks in the manure fork making each load awkward and heavy.
No change with Samantha which is good news. The cabin boys were begging to get out today, they didn't know how well they had it, now they are locked in a paddock with a round bale, no rolling hills covered with lush green grass just made for a good gallop. They should have behaved! They are locked in with Duke and he is teaching them herd manners.
