Expectant Mares

We had a good time on our walk today, Joan and Diane stopped at my house to help load the Berean meal into the car. They continued walking but I left for TEMCO to pick up the mail. To read about our fun times at that Berean office today click HERE.
I got home a little late and had just unloaded when Karin arrived. We brought in Oksana, groomed her up then took her to the outdoor for a few pictures. Oksana is due Sept 21st, and today was the first day I noticed she had bagged up a little.

She is such a big thick mare. She sure inherited that thick long tail from her mom, Eliza. Her mane was long and thick but she had so many burrs in it the mane ended up quite a bit shorter by the time we finished combing everything out.  Sangria was next. Sangria loves to roll in the mud, she likes to cover herself, probably trying to look black like most of the rest of the herd. Her tail had thick caked black stuff plastered into it. We had to use about a half of bottle of shampoo to just be able to comb it out. We quit after we had all the tangles out but it is still very stained up. We will need whitening shampoo on this tail.

 Sangria is due Sept 14th, but usually goes late. She is starting to bag up a bit so maybe this year she will deliver on time. 

This evening Dan came over with his dog Diesel, then Spark and Rhonda brought over a big group of Rhonda's brothers, sisters, inlaws, cousins and her mom Gladys.
