Playing

It rained during the night but only about a quarter of an inch then we had a softly falling drizzle pretty much all day but again just over a quarter of an inch. The fields got a good soaking and the grass is shooting up as we speak. It went from warm today to down right cold this evening with the temps hovering in the 50s and the wind gusting. The only mare teased was Luna and she is not sure about the boys yet. She is missing her herd at home and not quite sure if the horses around here are friendly. We have electric wire going around the top of the paddocks and she has already been stung once so is afraid to get too close to any of the fences. At least she is eating well.
This afternoon during a break from the drizzle the foals were checked on, there were only 4 visible so the golf cart was taken into the soaked field down to the tree line where Sangria's colt and Sheena's colt were laying side by side taking a nap. About 10 minutes later the rain started back up, Sangria's colt jumped up, snorted and danced in front of Sheena's colt for a few seconds then took off like a shot galloping just as Sheena's colt jumped up to accept the challenge to race and the 2 of them galloped up the hill around both of their dams then slammed to a stop. We'll call it a tie! It is fun watching the foals play together. Ribbon's filly was playing with Indy's filly even though Indy's filly is 2 months older. Indy's filly is rarely with her mom, she is too busy hanging around the other foals and only finds Indy when hungry. Zoey, Zalena's filly and Emma's colt were hanging around their dams but they too snorted then danced a bit to show off. They are all feeling really good now that the hot sun was covered up and the cooling rain refreshed the air.
I had a lazy day, Mark worked on removing the old aluminum siding off the front of the house and taking the off the front storm door. He decided we needed a front storm door with screens for summer and one that is airtight for this winter.
