Nancy Likes to Fly

Karin showed up with the truck just before 9:00am and helped hook it up to the living quarter trailer. About that time the horses and girls started showing up. Karin hauled Sandy & Sunny up front, Bunni and Sally behind in the stock, while Rebekah drove the other trailer with Paris, Cindy and Larry. Below they were just getting ready to pull out.


Anni, Sarah, Bethany and Hanna filled out the riders. They thought Jessica was also going, Karin thought Jessica was in the truck Rebekah was driving, Rebekah thought Jessica was in Karin’s truck and only when they were at Sandridge and ready to mount did they realize they had too many horses. Cindy was loaded back in the trailer and left. They had a wonderful time. Trail riding is already fun but when Karin introduces games like hide and seek it was a blast.
The insulators showed up to finish the stall area, while Mark and I worked on getting the garage area ready for them. Of course much of the day had to be spent with the puppies. They are so adorable, the picture below should be labeled contentment.

Even Darcy like to watch the pups, below she is hanging her head over the whelping box checking out the squirming mass.

Ruth picked Nancy up this weekend and took her to the place giving airplane rides. Mom brought Nancy over to show her the puppies and Nancy was so excited to tell us about the airplane ride and the picture.


What was supposed to be a beautiful day with lots of sunshine turned into rain, lots of rain this afternoon. The trail riders made it back just as the rain came pouring down. After the trailers were unhooked and the horses put away, Karin, Anni and Rebekah came in to play with the puppies also. The pup Rebekah was holding started sucking on her arm so hard it left a mark.

Rhoda was a big help today with them, helping clean the box out and keeping them from getting squished. After they were taking a nap she went over to tack up DaMita. She has a lady coming tomorrow to try her out. DaMita was just about perfect. Rhoda left her in the small paddock so she doesn’t have to tromp through the mud tomorrow. With the extreme amount of rain that came down today, everything is muddy. She also helped get Eliza covered. Once that was done, Raven was taken over to Kim’s mares. Bridgett is still in and will be covered tomorrow, Mattie the Clyde is not yet showing. We were pretty tired and hungry by the time 6:00pm rolled around but there is not much food in the house so ordered 2 meals from Gils and split them. As a special treat we also ordered one slice of peanut butter pie. Sarah showed up as we were eating dinner but there was enough easily to share with her. She moved furniture today to her apartment in Bloomington.
