Pulling Hair

Diane, Ruth and I walked today. Mom and Joan are still down in Gulf Shores, AL. I quit after the first round in order to get to the Berean office in time. This is my last Tuesday to volunteer there for a while. I still need to go in tomorrow to enter the Bible labels. To read about our morning there click HERE. The car thermometer was reading 93 degrees on the way home. I checked the monitor and the stalls were still empty so I drove right up to the barn to put the mares and foals in and turn the air conditioner on.  Sangria's filly is just too young to be outside in this kind if heat. Rhoda had Roxanne and her colt in the barn and was braiding manes. She had already finished Rosaleigh's. We found out Rosaleigh is stall aggressive. She tried to bite Rhoda, then threw herself backward believing she was going to be disciplined. This was a first for us and something we will work on. Rhoda took her into the round pen, worked her until she she wanted to stand then braided her hair. If she moved away she was asked to work again.
As long as Roxanne's colt was in the stall we decided to pull hair for the registry and get the papers sent out today for the 4 foals now born that still need to be registered. Rhoda named Roxanne's colt Dublin, Oksana's filly Darla, Indy's filly is named Envy and now Sangria's filly is named Edith's Serenity. Each foal had hair pulled, the paper work was all filled out and sent in today. We still have 2 foals to register from 2017 crop. Easter Lilly's foal due in November and Sheena's filly which is not for sale. We are naming her Ella Skye after Mike and Diane's grand daughter. Since we need to send in at least 3 at a time we will wait on those two until next year.  Rhoda took Roxanne out to the round pen to work on her under saddle instructions.

 Dublin had a ball running around too so I got a few shots of him to update the website. He was 2 months old yesterday. He is really going to be a stunner when he grows up.

 He was curious about Ruby but check out the feather on this colt. He is going to be very hairy if he is already showing that much feather at just 2 months of age. 

 Ruby wasn't impressed. She is such a well behaved dog, Rhoda would tell her to sit and she would sit waiting for the next command. 

 Both Rhoda and Karin finish the training session with trick training. Below she has asked Roxanne for a bow and was also asking her to hold it. 

 They both got sprayed off as it was just so very hot. Dublin wasn't sure he liked that. 

 Below Rhoda is taking them back to the paddock.

 Oksana was taken out next and teased. She said no so now is finished with her foal heat. We only got her covered once, we will need to wait a couple weeks to see if that was enough. Next out was Titiana and she was still showing so covered by Valiant. The last job I wanted to do today was to get a few pictures of Sangria's filly. She is so tall and elegant looking. The pictures below really don't do her justice. 

 Rhoda applied more iodine to her cord but it seems nice and dry.

Tomorrow the weather is suppose to be cooler. I'll try to get some better pictures outside. She really is spectacular. I didn't put them outside until after 6:00 pm when it was finally starting to cool down. They were both fly sprayed then let out. The stalls were cleaned, the barn air conditioner turned off, along with the fans and the lights and now I should be done with stalls for a while as long as it doesn't rain.
