Elvis showed up for the walk this morning joined by a pretty senorita. Since we know Elvis is dead, any guesses who these people are?
Right after the walk we moved a new bale in for Ribbon and Killian and then it was weaning time. Emily put Star's filly Twilight in the stall with Heart and put Star in the trailer. Within minutes I was on my way to Middle Grove. Poor Star when we arrived she started galloping for the herd thinking her filly must be there. Thank goodness Karin arrived to keep watch and train horses while she was waiting for her painting job to start. I needed to head back to meet the Amanda, the lady coming to see Eliza's filly, making it home with 15 minutes to spare to try to clean the house up a bit and get a load of laundry started. Eliza and Tessa were brought over to the stall barn for Amanda. Amanda is now the owner of this fancy Friesian filly. Tessa will be staying with us until March. When it was time to take Eliza and Tessa back to the cabin field, Tessa was sound asleep in the stall. She was enjoying being in the air conditioning with no flies to bother her.
Twilight got a haltering lesson, tying lesson and picking up her feet lesson. Emily was working with her when Brittney arrived with her brother and sister to pick up Holly and Victoria. This is going to be a great match. Brittney has the patience Holly needs.
Mark came home early hungry, each of us had skipped lunch so ate supper at 4:00 pm then loaded up Sunny for his trip to his new home with Cynthia, Olivia, Buddy and Dwayne. Olivia is a Raven grand daughter and an Evan daughter. Check out this beautiful not yet 2 year old filly coming to greet Sunny.
They always say Friesians are like a golden retriever in the horse world. The picture below proves it.
I'm really posting the picture to show off the neck on this girl! Cynthia took the picture and sent it along with the picture below.
These 2 are going to be best buddies soon. The chores tonight fell on me as Emily is spending the night with David and Stephanie. They are leaving at 5:00 am to head up to Minnesota to visit Fede. Fede was one of David's boys when he was in Mexico and loves horses. He and Emily have been good friends since her Mexico days and both of their love of horses. Fede came to visit not too long ago before heading up to his job. He was mowing around some double stacked round bales, the mower hit one and fell on him breaking some vertebra. We heard there has been some improvement and the doctors are hoping the paralysis won't be permanent.
The horses were turned out, fed and most of the stalls cleaned. I will have 1 more to do in the morning.
