Favorite Grandma

The weather started out a bit chilly but soon warmed up into a beautiful Saturday. Sue Martin came over for a visit and together we headed over to see her 2 year old Raven filly named Piper.
She sticks at 15.3 hands at just 2 years of age. Besides beautiful, Piper is going to be HUGE.
Karin, Mike and Rhoda took Eliza, Jewel and Zalena to Sandridge State Forrest for a trail ride supposedly to see how Zalena would behave but really just to get out and enjoy the weather while it lasts.

Steven Marchal showed up to work Super, did some line driving with him, not so good, then lunged him, great. Super was tied up and out we went to start painting. We got about a 4th of the way done when the trail riders showed up and started helping.

They were really going to town on the job when Amy Koch showed up with a PONY, not just ANY PONY, but a pony that looks like DUKE!

She is a Welsh x Paint pony 13.2 hands and just beautiful. Of course Rhoda had to try her out and just loves her canter. Even Karin rode her a bit. The pony didn't put a foot wrong while she was being worked, dare I say, Addyson will get to have pony rides again. I'm working on being the favorite grandma. Diane is going to be the favorite grandma also, the pony's name is Ella, just like her grand daughter.
We so much appreciate Amy bringing her to us. That's what good friends do, bring ponies over so we can be the favorite! THANKS AMY!! you slipped out before we could really thank you.
Once we quit painting Rhoda wanted to get Super out and at least sit on him.

DaMita was brought out to pony them around the arena.


Karin showed Steven how to work him on the ground, Super was getting it before they quit. We needed to get in and clean up. We had 5 meet at the playground for rides to church. Tonight Peoria was blessed with testimonies. We spent so much time outside we didn't have time for dinner before needing to leave. After the testimonies a bunch of us ended up at Culvers for a quick dinner before heading home. Just one more job before bed, Mark needs a hair cut.
