Michigan Visitors

Israel was picked up at Meisters right at 7:30 am and taken straight to the apartment where Sarah was more than willing to watch him so I could go on the second round of the walk. No one was in a hurry today so we walked a third round. That way I could hear all about everyone's Gulf Shores trip.
After the walk Rhoda pulled out Lilypony and was so pleased with her progress that she brought her down to the house and not just down to the house but right into the kitchen.

After Lilypony was put away Rhoda took Anna out giving her a good groom then put her in a stall to try to keep her clean until the company arrived. When Emily got home from school she was willing to allow me to video her training Hadassah for the Horsemeister Inc Facebook page. Just as we were finishing up with the video the 2 ladies from Michigan arrived. Emily put Hadassah back and brought out Killian. Rhoda tacked up Jenis, Indy and Anna and off they went.

 In the picture above Rhoda is leading the way with Indy, while Shannon is riding Jenis followed by Emily on Killian with Jan and Anna bringing up the rear. Below Shannon has just taken Jenis up and over the final obstacle of the 'death trails' the gravel pile at the end of the trail.

 Just check out those happy faces. All 4 came back on the same horses they went out on. Success!

The Michigan company had a long drive back so the girls put the horses away and by that time we were all more than ready for a very late lunch. We drove to Pekin, IL and found a little cafe that had good food for cheap prices. We have a repeat customer buying Lilypony. She is mailing the check tomorrow and Lilypony will be marked sold when that arrives.
