Busy Busy Day

Rush to the farm, feed and water Ylse, check her filly (doing GREAT) check Velvet's colt, (also doing GREAT) help Mike move out a bale from Raven's and into Big Sally's paddock. Mike used the skid steer to hold up the horse trailer, got the 2 trailer tires, both the destroyed blowout one and the flat one taken off the trailer and put into the car when I took off for the walk. Saw Rachel's new additions to her menagerie, her Daisy duck hatched out 12 adorable little ducklings. The walk was cut a little short, drove to the bank, deposited 2 checks, down to Rocket Tire to drop off the load, stopped at TEMCO to pick up the mail, look down at the gas gauge realize the car is out of gas so a stop to the gas station was also necessary all before showing up at work this morning before 9:00am.
Work went so well with Eva Jean back that we had lunch by 11:45 attended by Spark, Dan, Philip, Mark and us girls. The call came from Dr. Pallen that she would be at the farm around 1:45pm today to collect the stallion so that was next on the list. She also checked both foals and gave permission for Velvet's colt to now be turned out. Ylse's filly is doing so well she was acting like a little spitfire today. Did not want her halter on, did not want to lead and no way did she want to be hosed off. Except it is so beastly hot today that ALL the horses needed to be hosed off. She finally did learn to like it and stood well at the end.
Steven showed up to work Wynne and Jenis just in time to help with the collection. Talk about perfect timing! Once finished it was off to the bank to deposit 2 more checks and then off to the grocery store for much needed supplies.
Rachel Sauder of momentscapturedbyrachel came to Bridlewood to take pictures of Nora, Amy Koch's mare. Somehow between Amy bathing Nora and Rachel's talents they had this mare GLEAMING so white she GLOWED.

There are even better ones on Rachel's website on the online ordering page. Notice Amy's saddle, what kind of a rider jumps in a dressage saddle? answer ONLY a very GOOD rider! Anyone wanting horse pictures done, Rachel always makes every horse except Sangria look LOVELY!
