Sangria Scare

My phone was left inside on the charger while I was outside enjoying the beautiful warm sunny day when Mark brings the phone to me saying someone has been trying to call you. There were 4 missed calls meaning emergency. Sangria decided to roll, got too close to the fence and was cast (stuck) with her head through the railings and her legs through the gate. Ralph finally called Mike, Mike called Rachel and Rachel and David ran over to help Ralph pull her away from the fence. By the time I arrived all was fine but they were a little concerned she may have hurt her back leg. She was taken out, hosed down to clean the mud off and taken out into the field to watch her move. Of course with Sangria the first thing she does is ROLL.

She is SO huge, the baby is due April 16th but she is not at all bagged up.
Even upright the baby is sticking out on both sides.

She wasn't content in the field by herself, Sanna was let out with her but Sangria took off running and ran straight to Lily's paddock asking if Lily could come out too. How can I turn a pregnant mare down? Wynne and Lily with their fillies were also let out. The camera was taken out for some pictures. Below is Wynne and Kenzie.
Kenzie was so funny, she also flopped down and had a good roll. The picture below should be titled, Help, I've fallen and can't get up!

That Kenzie is such a show off. She is special and knows it.

I started putting horses back when Rhoda and Karin drove up with Dalia and Bunni. They spent the afternoon at Jubilee State Park trail riding. Karin gave a very nice report on Dalia. They really enjoyed their afternoon, both mares were well behaved on the trails. They loaded nicely and unloaded nicely.

The only problem with Dalia, Karin feels, is she will never be a beginner horse. Her movement is HUGE. Her trot has so much suspension a beginner will not be able to sit it. Karin had Rhoda ride her so she could watch how she moved. Dalia's Hanoverian sire Landkoenig really throws the huge dressage movement and Dalia inherited it. She is a nice mare it is almost a shame to breed her, she should be in full time dressage training. She could easily go up the levels.
