Valiant Leads the Way.

The morning started below freezing but we had sunshine which warmed us up nicely. Nice enough for a trail ride and today Valiant got to lead the pack.  We were SO proud of him. He lead the entire way with 3 mares following and didn't throw a fuss. Even crossing the creek where he had to slide down a bank and into some pretty deep water.

Check out that loose rein at a very relaxed stallion on this trail ride.

Magda worked with him while Karin helped me get a quick video of Lily's filly for her owner.


Joan was busy harvesting dead trees for her wood burner and had a good crew helping.  Mark took the tractor over to help drag the logs back for splitting.  They were working past supper time, probably  until it was too dark to see.  Rhoda brought Phil and Anna's girls here for the night so we all went to Gils for supper. They were hungry, they had spent the night last night with Rhoda and were swimming all evening in her indoor pool then swam again pretty much all day today until they left to come here. They certainly enjoyed the food at Gils.

They are spending the night here tonight then Phil and Anna come home tomorrow night from their business trip.
