Wanda Pickup

Steven met me at the farm just a little after 8:00am, hooked up the stock trailer, loaded it with Ribbon, Aragon, Walker Sally and her filly and headed to Middle Grove. These 4 were to be dropped off and Knight and Wanda picked up. Knight for a birthday party on Saturday and Wanda so she can be delivered to her new home on Saturday. I was apprehensive about making it through the mud to the gate and thought we should walk the horses in but Mike was sure with Steven's monster truck we would make it. Well we did but barely. I'm not ready to try that again unless the ground starts drying up. We have had rain every day with some places receiving 4 inches at a time. None of the horses were around and didn't come running when we called so we started hiking in staying on top of the hills as much as possible. We reached the 3rd valley and saw the horses down by the trees. The picture was taken with my zoom lens zoomed in as far as it goes.
They did not come running up the hill to us so we had to hike all the way down, halter Knight and Wanda and when we started leading those 2 the others all came running and joined up with the 4 we brought out with us. Middle Grove is such a beautiful place for horses, just wish we had a better drive! Once Knight and Wanda were loaded it was time to try to get out. At one point we thought we were going over a ditch but somehow Steven kept the truck and trailer on the road. We were just ready to pull into the farm when Heather called, she was also almost to the farm. Of course she had to admire Samantha's filly before loading her mare up. Then it was home to BREAKFAST!
