Piper is a 4 year old Raven daughter out of Sanna. Sanna was always our go to girl for parades, shows, and horse fairs. She was a big girl of 16.2 hands with extreme feather. The picture below is Sanna and Piper when she was about 2 months old and now Piper is a mother herself. My how time flies!
Jewel and Treasure were brought over from the cabin and given baths today. We had a couple ladies come to check out Treasure and of course we had to take her to the outdoor arena to show off her amazing movement. She was also given a tying lesson and hoof picking up. She is not just a gorgeous, she is also very smart, learning quickly to stand quietly when asked. While they were there admiring all the horses, Valiant was let into the pasture from his field. He ran and bucked and ran some more showing off for the company.
Karin arrived to work with Serenity, when she got her out of the paddock Hadassah and Twilight were taken out and stalled, then Hadassah covered by Evan. They will be left in the stall for the night then Hadassah covered tomorrow afternoon again if she is still in. Serenity did wonderful. Karin introduced the bridle. The mare had some bucking issues with bit pressure but learned to give with her neck which was exactly what Karin was wanting. She is very pleased with her progress. Serenity and Jenis were let out into the pond pasture to get out of the mud. We have had 3 and a half inches of rain in the last 4 days and everything is soaked.
Mark drove to Peoria and picked up Nick to help him for the afternoon. They worked on fencing and tearing the siding off the house. The house needs new siding and we need better insulation. Last winter was brutal. Later this evening mom called in a panic. She went downstairs to clean the bathroom and water was spraying out her storage room ceiling soaking everything. Luckily Fede was home and came to the rescue. David Sauder arrived to help fix the problem which was rusted out fittings. Thank goodness for family.
