5 Out of 5

Dr. Hoerr came this morning for ultrasounds and all 5 mares that were done were pronounced PREGNANT!  We were pretty thrilled.
Rosaleigh was done first as she and her 2019 filly were in the stall eating their extra serving of grain. Rosaleigh is due June 22nd, 2020.  She has the most beautiful foals by Evan. All of them are well built and have the mega hair.

Hadassah was the next in line for her ultrasound and she too was pronounced PREGNANT! We have taken a deposit on Hadassah so I will let the buyer know she will be getting a 2 for 1 price. Hadassah is due June 10th, 2020.

Next done was one of our favorite mares, Jewel. Jewel's dam was our big Thoroughbred mare Grace and Grace had Jewel when she was 23 years old. Jewel has foals with extreme movement and she also happens to be a wonderful riding mare for us. Sometimes we wonder why we are so very blessed with these amazing animals. Jewel was bred to Evan and is due June 15th, 2020.

Madiera was the next in line. She was bred to Evan and is due the very same day as Sheena who happened to be bred to Valiant. We are thankful we have 2 stallions as both mares ovulated shortly after their cover on July 10th.  Both Madiera and Sheena are due June 20th, 2020.

Above is Madiera and below is Sheena. Both throw amazing foals.

As soon as Dr. Hoerr left, Jewel and her colt, Madiera and her colt and Sheena and her colt were all loaded into the big trailer and hauled out to Middle Grove. They were unloaded and didn't go very far before dropping their heads to graze on that abundant grass.

 As I was getting ready to pull out Chuck arrived with another load of hay for that farm.  

 He brings 7 at a time on that trailer. I talked to him a bit before closing up my trailer and heading back to the farm.  The horses still hadn't moved very far away. They were content to graze instead of looking for the rest of the herd.

Karin had a big group for trail riding today as she let Tara and Jay's daughters go out on the 'death trail'. Jay and Tara have 4 daughters and 3 sons.  She used Sangria, Tori, Missy and Cookie. 

As soon as I got back Tatiana was teased. If she was out I was going to take another load to Middle Grove but she showed as soon as Valiant neighed. She was covered and I won't take her out until she no longer shows. 

Both Mark and I were so busy we didn't take time to eat supper before church. Mom AND Sarah Reinhard didn't have time either to eat so we joined the AC crowd that heads to Culvers after Wednesday service. It was fun but we didn't get home until late.  We are just TOO OLD to be staying up that late.  How do others DO IT?  The trip home was torture.
