We had a very very small amount of rain this morning, so small that it didn't even wet the bottom of the rain gauge. It didn't stop us from walking as this morning is the last time we will all be together for a couple weeks.  Joan leaves tomorrow for her vacation then we leave on Saturday for ours.  After the walk I left for Sam's Club. Karin arrived for a scheduled trail ride and found herself one horse short. Thankfully Jewel was here and she rode Jewel double with Berlica behind. Jewel's colt followed behind perfectly even through the creek crossings.  The other horses on the ride were Sangria, Hadassah, Tori, Missy and Cookie.  No one thought to take pictures.  Gertie brought Braelyn, Taegan and Kensley over for Funday Monday joining Addyson and Jace. Jack and Abe were not feeling well. 
Tatiana's filly is a week old today so she was taken out to the round pen for pictures to update the website.

 This week old filly has the MOVES! She is going to be a super star in the dressage world. Her grandsire is EVAN and her sire is Valiant so of course she has big movement.  She is just a perfect example of a Friesian filly. She has that beautiful well set on long neck, a short back and of course that nicely rounded apple buttocks. 

Did I mention this filly is for sale? We are only asking $8000.00 for her and that is almost unheard of for a filly of this quality.  Tatiana is in her foal heat and was covered today by Valiant.  Sure hope she settles on this heat as we will be hauling her and her filly out to Middle Grove by Friday. As long as I had the camera out Rosaleigh's filly was taken to the round pen for her 3 month pictures. She is actually 3 months and 5 days old now. 

 She is Rosaleigh's 3rd foal by Evan. Her first 2 were just as nice.  We are pretty thrilled with what Rosaleigh produces.  

 This morning she was prancing around her paddock showing off for all the walkers and they were admiring her majestic movement.

I'm pretty sure she is sold but won't really know until after we get home from Vacation August 11th.  The lady that wants her picked the name Lady Rosanna. As I was working on registrations for some of the other foals that is the name I sent today for her papers.  Jewel's colt we named Josiah.  

 This colt by Evan is going to easily top 16.2 hands. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up close to 17 hands AND he too will be a dressage superstar. Although he has such a want to please attitude he will really be able to excel at any discipline. 

We have Josiah priced at only $4500.00.  I was not able to send in the papers for Galena's filly. I lost the envelope that had her hair that must be sent in with the registration and Galena's filly is out at Middle Grove.  This filly loves the water and is a surprisingly good swimmer. She was swimming laps around her mother when Karin took Galena out into the lake.

 She is going to be a well rounded, used to just about anything horse when she grows up. She will also probably top 17 hands and SHE has that fancy black and white coat! I don't have a name picked out for her yet so if you want her and buy her you can pick out her name for the registration papers. 

Taunya brought her dad over for dinner tonight. After dinner I took Abe and Addyson out on a golf cart ride through the fields and past the alligator swamp.  Mark put the bale spear on the skid steer as Ryan is bringing over hay tomorrow.
