Weaning Day for 3

Shaeya arrived early this morning but I was already hard at work cleaning up the golf cart for the big parade today in Hanna City.  We had a lot of help and the parade went perfectly. Below are just a few of the pictures taken. I didn't have time to get work on pictures.

Right after the parade we took a break for lunch then got 7 horses out for the trail ride for the Christensons.

Of course lots of pictures were taken of that and those will also be worked on at a later time. It is much too late tonight. Right after the trail ride we put Hadassah's filly, Rosalie's filly and Ayanna's colt in a stall together then loaded the 3 mares up and took them to Middle Grove. It is much better to wean with the mares out of earshot.  We had been separating the mares and foals for trail rides so at first they weren't upset at all but as the evening went on they started calling for mom.  They have plenty of hay, some grain and water. When we got to Middle Grove I took this short video.

I snapped a few pictures of the foals out there. Below is Madiera's filly by Valiant.

 Below is the only picture I took of Foxy's filly but you can see her in the video clip near the end. 

When we got home I had to flip a bale to use for stall feeding. The middle paddock also got a new bale. Shaeya helped with that.  Mark was power washing the skid steer.

I should have worked on pictures when I finally went into the house but instead stretched out on the couch and took a short nap. Mom invited Karin, Mark and I over for dinner tonight serving us a delicious leg of lamb, salad, mashed potatoes and zucchini bread. After supper Ruth and Diane joined us for games. The weanlings needed to be watered this evening. I was pleased to see they are drinking and eating. They are still calling for their mom's but less and less.  It is now almost 10:00 pm and I'm too tired to work on the parade and trail ride pictures. Hopefully I'll have some extra time tomorrow.
