The good news is Dalia ties all night camping great, the bad news is her movement is SO BIG, Karin lost a layer of skin on her leg. Now this is what happens when one rides in shorts instead of riding breeches. It is fine to ride a smooth, jog trotting Quarter horse or Tennessee Walker in shorts but a very athletic Oldenburg with HUGE movement is just asking for trouble. Karin ended up putting gray tape around her leg to hold the rest of her skin on, or perhaps just stop it from rubbing more right at that spot. Dalia followed very well up and down the hills at Jubilee and no problem through the creeks. Diane rode Bunni, Mike rode Mika and Rhoda was on Sally. They had a wonderful day with perfect weather. After they were back, Taunya came over with Jack and Addyson, we took them for a ride on the golf cart over to mom's and brought back ripe peaches fresh off the tree, vine ripened tomatoes and ice cream for our dessert. Mom's house is better than a grocery store. We will replace her ice cream but there is no replacing her very flavorful tomatoes and peaches.
Mark grilled steak, not just any steak but prime black Angus rib-eye steaks for our dinner. Wild rice, rolls, fresh sweet corn and salad finished out the delicious meal.
Once the kids left, Jenis' colt was given his evening meds and his temperature taken. It was even lower than this morning, only hitting 100.8, just about perfect. Rhoda cleaned up the puppy stall, then called them all in for food and water. She put the collars back on them, not that they will stay on the puppies think it is just so much fun pulling them off each other.
Mark went back to work on draining the pond, he has it down a foot. He feels it will take a good week with no rain to empty it. My only problem with it is the stinky black sludge that comes back with him covering his shoes, socks and legs and sometimes the floor.
