Whelping Box

Mom made us breakfast after the walk today, we always enjoy her great cooking. Steven showed up to start Airiah today. We are so pleased with her attitude. She has the typical Friesian attitude, she wants to please.


We ended on such a good note with her and put her away.
Valiant was the next horse out. He was also saddled and had Steven start adding his weight and then lunged. The pictures below are not the best but shows a bit of his fantastic movement. This boy was BORN to show off.



Tonight after dinner Mark started on Emma's whelping box. He built it 6 feet by 4 feet which should be plenty of room for Emma and her pups. Now it just needs bedding.
While we were working on that, Mike and Diane came over to see what we were building. They were admiring Sanna and her filly in the next stall when the filly somehow someway came up with the bucket hooked around her head. She was so cute waiting patiently to be rescued.

Our Wilson Cell Phone booster came today, Mark hooked it up and our phones will now ring in the apartment and I don't have to stand outside to make a call. What a relief, it wasn't fun standing in the driving rain talking on the phone. I could just imagine what winter was going to be like. Too bad it isn't strong enough to work in the stall area.
