The car was all finished by 1:30pm, once Mark was dropped off at the repair shop I headed to the farm. Kim’s mares needed another round bale and Dalia needed to be covered if we going to keep her.
After dinner we walked over to mom’s and visited with everybody congregated over there, she had a big crowd and it was good to be together. Rhoda showed up with more pills for Darcy. Rhoda decided it would be fun to work with the boys and brought them out. Mike showed up as we were playing with them so both boys were saddled and worked with. Below are some of the pictures of tonight. They were both so good. After Valiant was saddled, Mike got on the pedestal so he would be above him.
While Mike was working with Valiant, Rhoda brought Evan in and asked him to lay down. She asked him twice yesterday in the paddock without even a lead rope and today was just as good. Steven Marchal has done a wonderful job with him, pretty impressive when a horse will lay down for more than just the one that initially trained him.
Evan was then saddled and Mike decided to ask him to bend, Evan thought he wanted him to lay down, that was rather unexpected.
Mike was going to stand next to Evan up on the pedestal, he brought Evan over and what happened next kind of surprised him, Evan got up on the pedestal with Mike.
Mark worked on replacing some of the boards on the hay shelters while we were in the arena. He is getting this place in shape, I’m so glad we are now living here, this place was really looking neglected. When Rhoda was leading Valiant back he had to make a stop and visit Dalia, Valiant has a very impressive neck.
Rhoda showed Mark what we need as far as a whelping box for Emma. We are pleased he feels he can get it together in time for the puppies.
