Heating UP
We have a cool morning so all the stallion work was done by 6:30am before the day starts this dramatic rising of the predicted heat wave. Mytross was brought out first for Valiant. Without Steven there to correct Valiant, it was a little more complicated than yesterday but he did finally listen, mind and got the job done.
Mytross was put in another paddock while Eliza was brought over for Raven. The picture below was taken of her cute stocky little 10 day old filly who was wondering why her mama stopped in front of that scary huge stallion.
Mark was asked to help with this cover. It just helps having a person on each side of the mare when she is this big and wide. Once all was done, Eliza and her filly moved to the paddock opposite the stall barn and Mytross put back in the breeding shed paddock. Eliza will be moved into the air-conditioned barn before the high today of 94 degrees hits. Clair and her filly are already inside. This is just the start of the predicted extreme heatwave, tomorrow's highs are suppose to be triple digit.
Darcy comes home tomorrow and the apartment needs to be readied for her.
