Saturday Workday

It started early, Steven arrived at the farm by 8:30 and started cleaning paddocks. A trip to Sams for dogfood and treats for the big Sauder party tonight had to be done first before I could start work. By the time I arrived with the truck and trailer Steven had all the paddocks clean. The first job was to take the mower off the Kubota and get the bent post hole digger attached. Not an easy job but better than digging all the holes by hand.

While we were working on that Karin moved the fire engine out of the arena.


She always says that in all the other barns she teaches at this is the only barn she has to move a fire engine out first. The things she will do for a 20 meter circle.
Rebekah and Anni were there for a quick vaulting practice, I snapped this picture of them mounting in the canter while I was suppose to be helping get the post hole digger attached.

David showed up to help Mark with the ditch and I'm proud to say it is DONE. Thanks to the great help.

Karin finished the vaulting then came to help with the hole digging.

With Steven and Karin's help Mike was able to get the 4 post in the ground and level for the new shelter.

Once the poles were set, Steven loaded up the 4 kids and Sangria and hauled them out to Middle Grove.

Karin left to pick up Nancy for the Sauder's annual costume party so I took a break and walked over to mom's, this is what I saw when I walked in.

Any guesses as to who she is going as at the party?
Mark finished moving the pea gravel then we started cleaning the skid steer. It was a full day but not finished yet. As soon as we arrived home, it was out to clean my paddock here at Bridlewood. Only 2 wheelbarrow loads today. Now it is time to get our costumes on.
