It was too dark inside for moving pictures so even though it was only 13 degrees outside and the outdoor was frozen solid we took them outside for a few action shots.
They were put back in a stall when finished as I wanted to move in a new round bale in their paddock after Karin was done working horses. Today she brought in Ayanna, Eliza, Zalena and Galena.
Above left to right is Ayanna, Zalena and Eliza, below is Galena as she threw in a buck to try to unseat Karin.
She settled right down when Karin wouldn't allow that behavior. She was much more forward today and ended on a good note.
Below is the last picture the camera took for the day.
Karin was just going to start Ayanna when the cold caused the camera to stop working. I thought it may be the battery, ran down to the house for another fully charged battery but it still wouldn't work. Thankfully once the camera was in the house and warmed up it started working again. Below is a picture of Galena's sire Spellcaster. I found out today he is 16.1 hands tall. Galena is expecting a Valiant foal due June 25th, 2017. That foal should be VERY tall and VERY hairy.
As soon as the mares were put away Karin helped move a bale in for the weanlings then Rosalie and Abigail put back out with them. The stall they were in will need to be cleaned but not today, we were pretty desperate to get in and warm up. Mark was home by then and had a good hot fire going in the fireplace wood burner. A pot of stew was made for supper full of good vegetables and tender roast beef. Mark drove mom and I to church tonight. Tim Roecker had the message.
