Eliza

Kim's mare was covered again this morning then Raven taken over to tease the others. Eliza is now in season and will be covered tonight. Mom came in to Peoria with me this morning and helped clean the kitchen. We had to leave by 10:45am as the people wanting to see Sanna thought they would arrive by 11:00am. I barely made it back before they pulled up. Funny how long it takes to talk Friesian with people. Once they left it was time to unload the very packed car. Mark headed over to mom's to start her mowing and almost ran her mower into the lake. He came over to grab his mower to help pull it up the hill but before he was back with it, David Sauder had it already up. David started mowing the lower part while Mark worked on the playground area and between the 2 they had it looking very nice in less than 2 hours. Rhoda pulled up with some old friends, Amanda and Kim. They decided to help get Eliza under saddle. Rhoda worked with her a bit but Eliza was a bit worried so they started by ponying her. But soon Kim climbed on and off they went doing the death trails, going through the creeks and cantering. Eliza and Kim did wonderful. Below is Kim Calhoun on Eliza and Amanda Short on Jenis.

I asked them to pose for some pictures.


Aren't they beautiful~and I don't just mean the horses. And off they go.

Eliza was hosed off but Jenis and Cindy wanted to go swimming, the girls could tell so Ylse was also pulled out and out they went into the lake. Below is Kim on Jenis.

Rhoda is on Cindy and Amanda is on Ylse below, they really had fun, it was hot and the water cool. The horses enjoyed this immensely.

We still are not finished at Pleasant Home and it was off to Peoria this evening to bring back 2 more loads, one in Rhoda's car and one in our car. We stopped at McDonalds for dinner as we still have no counter tops, then I took off for Meister Brothers so the pictures could be uploaded and I could check email. At the farm we are pretty isolated, no paper, no television, no Internet. Sure makes us pray we get cable soon!
