She Said "NO"

After the walk Valiant was let out into the field and Whitney placed in Valiant's paddock. We will let Valiant tell us when Whitney is in since Whitney isn't talking. She put him in his place pretty quickly.
Valiant was enjoying a good roll, stands up and sees a beautiful gray mare in his paddock.

He runs over to very carefully introduce himself. 

 She squeals and kicks out, so Valiant dances around her showing off.

 He is such a show off but Whitney was just not impressed,

She finally agrees to meet him face to face

 Then says, "NO" very emphatically. 

He accepted the answer and they settled down to graze together quietly.

She will stay with him until she shows then will be put back in with Ribbon. Ribbon was moved out of the middle paddock and put back in Raven's old paddock with a new round bale. The middle paddock was prepared for the mares coming in from Middle Grove for ultrasounds. Emily and I drove out to pick up Sissy, Jewel and Lola. Hadassah decided she wanted to come too so we ended up with a full trailer of 6 horses, 4 mares and 2 foals. When we arrived at Middle Grove we found the herd all lounging around under the trees on top of the hill. 

 Emily walked up to greet them. Below Oksana is sniffing her cast, and Rhiannon is coming up on the far left for attention. 

 Emily had the lead rope tucked in her shorts as sometime Hadassah can hard to catch and we wanted a halter on her. 

 Hadassah surprised us by coming up for attention from Emily. 

While Emily was haltering Hadassah I put a halter and lead rope on Jewel and Lola and just threw the lead rope over their necks so they wouldn't step on it. Promise came right over to check that out and grabbed the lead rope off Lola and started to walk away with it.

 Funny funny filly!

Emily put a lead rope on Sissy to lead her back to the trailer. 

Sissy will be leaving for her new home on Saturday. We were only going to take the 3 mares but by the time we got to the trailer Promise, Rhiannon, Star, Emma and Hadassah had followed us down and were trying to get in. Emily tied Sissy up and shooed those away so I could get Jewel, Lola and their foals loaded. When we loaded up Sissy, Hadassah decided she was not going to be left and jumped in the trailer with her. Instead of taking her out we decided to bring her home and get her sonagrammed also. 

We made a stop at Bees for lunch as it was already after 1:00 pm ordering their home made tenderloin and their peanut butter ice cream. The tenderloin is so big half was taken home for Karin who was here training Whitney.

She had a Friesian practice scheduled for tonight at 6:00 pm. Mark was going to be late home from work so I got a ride to church with Ruth. Mom came with us. Mike Rieker had the message.
