Drenched

It rained pretty much all night by morning our rain gauge was showing 3 inches and it was still coming down. Mark's pond is full to the brim. Obviously there was no walk going to happen. Around 8:30 am we had a small, very small break and I quick jumped on the golf cart and got the horses fed.
Rhoda grabbed the golf cart next driving it over the cabin and bringing back Soul and her colt for training. Thank goodness we have an indoor arena, the rain started back up and poured for hours. When Rhoda was tacking up Soul, her colt grabbed a saddle blanket and started waving it around.

He is such a character. Everything must be tasted and if it moves, even better. Soul did very well today. Rhoda was able to trot her under saddle without Emily's help. Although she did need to carry a whip. In the picture below Soul is not bowing, she started crow hopping. Notice how Rhoda leans back so as not to get thrown over Soul's head.

Soul soon settled down and did not try to buck again.

Rhoda finished up with trick training, teaching her the bow.

Soul's mane had become tangled up a bit so Rhoda and Emily braided her forelock and mane before putting her back in the pasture.

Rhoda and Emily left for Rhoda's house sitting job this afternoon. Emily will be staying at the house tonight as Rhoda is needed to help Taunya tomorrow. 

Mark and I met Lee and Rhoda at Avanti's for dinner before church. Mom drove my car to church with Sarah and Hannah. Mom's car is still in the shop. Craig Stickling had the service. It was good to be there again.
