The Iceland group made it home around 1:00 am so we figured they would be sleeping until quite late but that wasn't the case with Karin. She was up at 5:00 am and walked with us telling stories of the trip. Even Emily got up early. Which was a good thing, I had a long list of things she needed to do. Killian and Evan were both given baths. Killian is now stalled until things dry up around here. Jewel was teased and covered by Evan, Emma is still in and covered by Killian. Tomorrow the vet comes we will spring for ultrasounds to see where they are in their season. Emma should have been out but the last time Dr. Hoerr sonagrammed her she was not cycling. We hope this is a real cycle.
I left early for the Berean work, picked up a full load of mail at TEMCO then headed to the new office at the Unsicker farm. Below Gary and Bill are opening mail at one table, Jan and Eva Jean are at another table opening the mail. Chuck and mom are reading the letters and Joyce is opening and processing studies. Shirley showed up a little later and helped read letters.
In the other room Megan was busy running the copier making thousands of copies while Marie, Timothy, Justin and Matt are busy stuffing and wrapping Bibles.
We broke for lunch once all the studies were entered. It is so nice to have such a big table and a big room for all of us to eat together. We are missing Dave and Kathy. Kathy is still in the hospital and could use prayers. Please don't forget to pray for healing for her. I got home at 2:30 pm had time to get a couple loads of laundry done while Emily was mowing. As soon as she finished the yard we hooked up the truck and trailer and headed for Middle Grove to pick up Prissy, her colt and Piper. The farrier is coming tomorrow morning so we wanted Piper here to get her hooves trimmed before she makes that long trip to Washington State. Soul was the first to greet us.
Emily went over work with Jurista a bit when Ripper arrived for attention. Ripper is Soul's 2014 colt out of an Appendix stallion.
Ayanna was the next to come out of the woods for attention. She is such a smart mare, she has lived at Middle Grove most of her life and knows exactly how to beat the flies by rolling in a mud puddle.
Star and her filly are pictured below. This filly will be weaned the end of this month and go to her new home with Lia. Lia owns her full sister.
Below is Zoe, Zalena's filly by Evan. She was spotless. Zalena doesn't like to get muddy and has passed that along to her filly.
Lily was no where in sight. I was getting worried so let out a yell calling loudly, "Lily!"
She and her colt came running followed by Missy.
Her colt is only 3 months old but just huge. His foal coat is starting to shed off.
Ayanna and Whitney started to follow us around, just look at Ella behind them. She isn't due until the end of August, another 2 months to go although she usually delivers 3 weeks early.
Below is Serenity. She and Piper are best friends, she followed us almost all the way back to the trailer not wanting to see Piper leave Middle Grove. At the end though she decided not to go with us and galloped back to the herd.
Prissy and Piper were de-wormed before we took them out of the trailer. Piper with Ivermectin and Prissy with Quest Plus. Her colt will be de-wormed in a couple weeks once we are sure the Quest doesn't go through the milk like Panacur. Prissy was teased before putting her in the mare pasture. Hopefully she will come in soon.
