Flynn's Video

This morning right after the walk Karin came to work with Brista and Coke. She wanted to take both out on the 'death trails' by themselves, that is no other horses going, just to see if they would listen. Usually a horse in training will be very nervous if not with another horse. Brista was first. Not only did she do well, she was a blast with that fast Paso Fino gait. Karin worked her first in the indoor then took off doing the trails backward.

Indy was teased and is out. Hopefully Roxanne is still in, she needs to be covered tomorrow.  Zalena and her colt by Evan named Flynn was taken out for a few pictures for his owner. Flynn was playing with the dogs so cute that I ran down to the house to get the video camera. 

Below are a few still shots of this fantastic Friesian stud colt.

My next job was to head down to Meister's to pay the first of the month bills a week late. Most of them were paid before we went on vacation but there was one bill (Mark's) that I had to wait on until the rent checks arrived. As soon as I got home from there, Karin and Noah were here to take Brista and Coke out again.

They did extremely well. Once those two mares were back in their paddocks We took Roxanne and Indy into the stalls so their foals could be haltered and tied. Noah was willing to help me get a few pictures for the website. Below is Roxanne's colt by Valiant. 

 He is a gorgeous example of a purebred Friesian stud colt and will end up someone's dream come true. He still needs a name though which must start with D E or F.

 Check out the size difference in the pictures above and below. Below is Indy's filly by Evan. These foals are less than 2 days apart. This filly is huge. Roxanne's colt is not that small but this filly towers over him.  She has inherited the sweet disposition of her mama along with that LONG hair. She is also for sale. Either one of these foals can be snatched up for $8000.00. The deposit to hold is $500.00 with balance due at weaning early December. What a Christmas gift they will be!

She is named Envy and will be registered and DNA'D soon with Friesian Heritage Horse. Both foals had all 4 hooves picked up and were haltered over and over. They are getting a great start in their training. When we took them back out this shudder shudder BUG flew on my golf cart tire. I have no idea what kind of insect but it looks nasty. It was about 2 inches long. 

 It didn't move very fast and since it looked like it would either sting or bite I killed it. Then just happened to look up to see this spider spinning a web on the roof of the golf cart. I posted these pictures on Facebook and wouldn't you know someone knew exactly what it was. It is a  Spined Micrathena and does not bite humans.

 I've never seen such an unusual looking spider so took a few pictures of it. 

The spider was carefully placed on the ground. I don't like them but they kill other bugs so this one was left alone to live, just not on my golf cart.  This evening I joined Ruth and Karin at mom's house for games.
