Sissy Sheena

Sheena was covered yesterday afternoon and Sissy was covered this morning both by Valiant. He has been a busy boy this week. Next week Evan will be busy. Holly and Zalena along with their foals were taken to the cabin field. It has been 19 days since Holly went out and she was not at all interested in Valiant as she went walking by. She will need to be brought back in a couple of days and teased again. Valiant was turned out into the field for the first time this spring. He was so excited for the grass but running was so tempting. He would take off at a gallop, spy some mare manure, slam on the breaks and place his pile on top then take off again.
Phil brought out the girls and we had a good time at the playground and on the golf cart this morning. After lunch and nap time we headed out to the barn. It was 91 degrees and the barn air conditioner needed to be turned on so Eliza's filly wouldn't get over heated. There was a surprise waiting for the girls.

 Emily brought one of her nanny goats home. Last year this same goat delivered quadruplets but would only care for 3 of the kids. Emily's family had to bottle feed the 4th. Emily does not believe she is expecting 4 kids this time but thinks she may have triplets. We are going to try a foaling predictor test on her to see if it would work for goats as well as mares.

Eliza's filly was nursing when the stall door was opened to show the girls. The filly leaves her mom for attention from humans.

She stood very still while the girls pet her. We were having trouble getting the air on so when Philip came to pick up the girls he came up to the barn diagnose the problem and found it almost instantly. The breaker had been turned off. Braelyn wanted to sit on Indy while she was waiting for her dad.

Emily went with Mike tonight to fix fence at Middle Grove. I put the horses out, cleaned stalls and did the night feeding.
