326

The middle paddock was completely out of hay this morning so Mark came out early and helped put 2 new bales there. We have a lot of horses in that paddock right now.
I was suppose to take Paris in to get her teeth floated along with Hadassah and Killian to Dr. Hoerr at 9:00 am but got a message that Dr. Hoerr needed to head out to an emergency and could I come tomorrow at 9:30 am. Of course the answer was yes. This worked out well for Diane and I to process all the Bibles and letters we weren't able to finish yesterday. By the time we were done we sent out 326 Bibles.
Next stop was Sam's Club where the meat for potluck was picked up. We will be having rib eye steaks.
The weather was beautiful by the time I got back to the farm so I decided to walk up and put Holly and her 1 day old filly outside for the first time. But on the way I discovered the waterer in the middle paddock had the plug pulled again and the horses were thirsty. We believe it must be Killian pulling the plug. Rhoda and Emily fixed it yesterday even putting a metal plate over the plug but he must have figured out how to move the plate and this time not only was the plug out it was gone. Who knows where he dragged it. The tank Cynthia gave us was scrubbed out and placed in the middle paddock and filled. I'll have to have Mike turn that waterer off until we can get a new plug. Emily arrived home from school and helped move Holly and filly out. Below are a few pictures of them.

 This filly is a typical Valiant daughter, so friendly, she kept coming right up to me as I was trying to snap the pictures. Then she discovered how to make those long legs work and took off galloping around the paddock throwing in a buck every once in a while.

Pat, a lady we met at the IL Horse Fair arrived with a check in hand to book her mare to Evan. While here Hadassah needed to be covered so she got to see how well behaved Evan is for live cover. 

Next Emily wanted to work Valiant as he hasn't been worked in a while. He was turned loose in the arena and the video camera was brought out to capture his bucking and running. I'll work on that tomorrow but I took a few still pictures of Emily riding him in the arena before she took him out on the trails.

When Mark got home from work he put the road grader on the tractor and started grading the drives. He was still working when it was time for us to get ready for church. The drives looked great when he finally quit. Mom, Emily, Bethany and I went to church together. Willis had the message finishing up with Revelations 22. After church Emily and Bethany went with Jessica out to eat while mom and I came home. What a great day!
