Over 80

Mike helped with the stallions this morning, covering Novella by Valiant and Lexi by Evan.
Today was the first really warm day of spring. The Bibles were taken to the post office before work today and lots more stamps purchased. Eva Jean didn't show up today so once things were done the studies were taken to her place before heading home.
Once home the horses were checked and I see that both Holly and Lilypony are showing. Steven Marchal arrived and helped move them out of Killian's paddock then brought Holly over and got her covered. It was so warm outside, over 80 degrees Steven decided to take Killian swimming which would help get some of the mud off. Killain grew up at Middle Grove and had no fear of the water. He went willing in.

It didn't take him long to realize that the water was cool and refreshing.

He was taken back and the boys were brought over. Below Steven is leading them down the drive:

                                 Oh my did they ever have fun splish splashing around.

When they were finished they had to check out the cabin field.

Below is my favorite picture of the day, of Evan. He is such a show off.

Next on the list was to give Ribbon's filly a leading lesson. She did very well at her young age of 5 days old.

Before Steven left he helped move Holly and Lilypony out of the middle paddock into the second, Marika into the stall for the evening and Jenis into the weanling paddock so we can start watching for her to come into season. He also helped repair some downed fences at the back of the weanling paddock. Mark came home from work just in time to use the skid steer to pull up some old wire and move a round bale in for Holly and Lilypony.  Rhoda and Karin met the Watson family at Middle Grove to have Becca try out Bonnie pony. They are going to lease her for a while. Rhoda showed Becca Bonnie's tricks and the cues needed. After the Watson family left Karin and Rhoda went on a trail ride with Cookie and Bonnie crossing the big lake. Rhoda said that both ponies were excellent.
