Lance Leaves

Lance was suppose to be picked up today but when we walked the driveways were so icy that we didn't think it was a good idea. The owner was called but he said he had a 4 wheel drive truck and snow tires and still wanted to come.  Mark went out early to start spreading sand on the entrance way.

 Lance was such handsome colt when first born.

 Even at a week old showed amazing movement.

 Below is one of the last pictures taken of him right after we weaned him. 

The owner arrived after noon with a rented horse trailer.  We didn't know anyone rented those and asked how much they cost to rent for a day and was told $150.00.  What a bargain! I was very pleased when Lance walked right into the trailer. The owner was also very pleased. 

Diane called this afternoon to report Russ Rumbold, our tax man was arriving tomorrow and we needed to have the Horsemeister books ready for him.  That meant a trip to her office and with the 2 of us working we got it done in less than 2 hours.  This evening I was looking through some pictures and came across some taken in the summer during some of the trail rides at Middle Grove. On this trail ride we had a yearling Friesian leave the herd and come along with us.  We were so surprised as her buddies didn't come on this ride, just some of the riding horses. She followed the entire way even when crossing the lake.
