Wynne's Date

Pouring down rain, lightning flashing and thunder crashing at the farm this morning while Wynne was brought to the breeding stand and Raven taken over. Paris was in season and flirting over the fence trying to get Raven's attention while we are standing in the rain trying to get Raven interested in Wynne. With Mike's help we finally got the job accomplished but all of us got a bit muddy. Why did I wait until this morning? If we would have gone to the farm last night we could have skipped this morning but somehow I was just too lazy and tired last night. At least Wynne was successfully covered and we will mark her down.
The mares were fed and Middle Grove discussed with Mike and Diane. We decided Paris will stay in Hanna City, Ribbon MUST stay in Hanna City, Bunni, Sally, Izadora, Mika, Dalia, Ciera, Ayanna, Jewel, and Heathcliff will get to go to this horse paradise for at least a month before the riding horses will be needed back in Hanna City. Now if it would just stop raining long enough to get them out there.
Mike was out yesterday checking over the fields and fences there. The grass is coming up GREAT!
Once home from work, Dalia's video was reworked, the last video of her youtube took the sound off, this time a song was picked that was left on.

Dalia is a very nice young registered branded Oldenburg. We will breed her to Raven unless someone out there is looking to purchase a quiet young green mare and will give us lots of money for her.:o)Take a look at her video, she really does have the want to please disposition and the dressage movement to move right up the levels.
The last round hay bale here at Bridlewood will need to be moved into the paddock soon, the tractor is leaving for Hanna City next week.
The bad news about the boys becoming men happened this afternoon. Paris is in the paddock right across the drive from Valiant and Evan. Both boys today could not stand it, jumped the fence making it almost all the way over and knocking boards down to get out of their paddock, then jumping into her paddock. Valiant was most persistent trying to cover her while Mike is trying to get both OUT of THERE! Mike was able to stop them before it went too far. We just don't want Paris bred and he said once he had a lead rope around their necks they were very respectful and minded. They never tried to kick or were dangerous, just determined.
Paris will be moved and electric fence will be placed around the boy's paddock.
Even though it is STILL pouring down rain Mike took 4 horses out to Middle Grove tonight. Mika, Jewel, Sally and Izadora are now on their way. Those horses will be so glad to be back to their green lush summer pastures.
