He was so excited to be out he just couldn't contain himself.
It didn't take too long for him to settle down to graze.
Mark needed to get a few things organized before we started our morning project over at Joan's house so I took Lily and her colt by Valiant out to graze. That colt is such a show-off.
He was pestering his mom.
He is a very handsome colt and getting very big. He is 26 days old today.
As soon as Mark was ready we headed over to start working on Joan's solar system Karin, Kayla, Joan, Mackeson and Faith all came to help too.
Today we are starting to put the base together.
Below is a short video of tightening the pipes together.
We had so much good help we were done within an hour. Mark went right to work mowing while Karin, Kayla and I came back here to start working the horses. The first foal out was the colt we call 'wildchild', Soul's colt by Evan. He does not like to be haltered, tied or have his hooves picked up and each time we have a fight on our hands. He has amazing movement and will be spectacular.
He is light on his feet and has very expressive impressive movement.
The next colt out was Lola's colt by Valiant. What a sweetie this colt is. He is so flashy with his bright white and black coloring.
He also has nice movement
He is exactly 4 weeks old today.
Karin brought Evan out while Kayla was putting Lola and her colt away. Evan had a ball showing off today in the outdoor arena.
Kayla finished him up by asking for the laydown and sit.
It was 11:00 am after we finished with Evan. Kayla had to leave, Karin went to mom's to work on their China trip stuff and then came here for a late lunch. We were enjoying a cup of tea out on the patio when others started to arrive. Mom and Anni came first, then Ruth, Rhonda, Anna, Braelyn, Taegan and Kensley. We had quite a party out on the patio.
Mark found some riding toys down by the creek and had the girls go with him to get them. Taegan is on one of the ones from the creek in the picture below. Braelyn is riding one we found at a garage sale.
Kensley's was also found down in the creek. Not sure where they came from or who lost them but we will let the girls play with them until they are claimed.
The afternoon was still nice so Mark got the skid steer out to clean Valiant's paddock.
Always nice to have that job done. If the weather holds Evan's will be the next paddock done but we didn't want to do that one today as the manure is put in the middle of the circle drive and we are having company tomorrow. Karin pulled Valiant out and worked him while Mark was busy cleaning his paddock.
Both stallions did very well today. We had such a great productive day today that both of us are going to sleep good tonight.
