As soon as I got home from there the mares were turned out into the big field and stalls cleaned.
Rosalie was turned out with them for the first time since her filly was born. She was keeping her pretty far away in the beginning but soon decided they were not a danger. The filly had a ball galloping around her mom.
Emily had cleaned out the short shelter paddock and put in a new round bale and moved all the weanlings into that. She was mowing when I got back from the field. My job was to grade the arena with the tractor then Emily finished the job with the 4 wheeler and rake. We were just finishing up with the arena when Jennifer arrived with her 4 children. Today was the day her daughter Charity was to get a lesson on Jenis. This lesson was donated to the Midwest Food Bank Auction so it was a charity ride for Charity.

Emily decided that Charity had good balance, good instincts and was talented enough to go out on the trails so she saddled up Anna and off they went on the 'death trails' crossing the creeks and nagivating those huge hills. We finished up this session with a glamour shot, of course all the dresses we had were just too big but this one almost fit.
As we were getting ready for bed a text came in from Jamie, the owner of Dakota. Dakota was bred to Valiant and is due Sept 28th. Jamie sent this picture.
Dakota was definitely waxing so the truck and trailer were taken over to their place at 10:00pm and Dakota loaded up and brought here for delivery. She is not bagged up enough that I think she will go tonight but she is a maiden mare and Jamie does not have a good place for her to deliver.
