We had a cold start to the day, the thermometer was only reading 25 here. The grass was frosted and the horses were blowing steam out of their nostrils. Below is Jurista the new Andalusian mare.
Pictures were taken of her this morning for the website. Mike loaded Soul and Ripper and drove them out to Middle Grove. Karin checked all the mares yesterday and Mike checked them today. He is concerned that Emma may have lost her foal. She is due in 60 days and he said she is fat but didn't think fat enough. I'll need to bring her in to check. Prissy was moved today to the paddock next to the stall barn. She was much more bagged up today so we will be stalling her at night. Lily and her colt were moved in with Sangria. Lily was just not comfortable with Indy and Star and Sangria has been her companion for years so this was a much better fit. It would have been nice for the 3 babies to be together. Oh well maybe Prissy will have her foal soon so Lily's colt can have a companion for weaning.
Mark got the log splitter going and worked on wood for next winter, although we were both tempted to burn some today. It was still in the 30's this afternoon. We moved in a new bale for Sangria and Lily. Killian and Valiant's paddocks will each need one either tomorrow or Monday. Mark counted the bales, we have 96 left and should easily make it before our first cutting. I went shopping this afternoon for groceries hitting both Sam's club and Walmart.
Mom, Karin and Ruth left for Gulf Shores, Alabama early this morning. They should be there by now but I'm sure just too busy to think about calling. Rhoda and Lee get home tonight from their honeymoon.
