Old Dog's Don't LIKE to Learn

I needed to go to Aldi this morning and wanted to be there right at 9:00 am but ended up not making it there until quarter after 9:00 this morning. By the time the groceries were bought the store got crowded as did the parking lot. When I got back Karin, Magda and Isaiah were here working with the horses. Below Magda is bringing back Valiant after a very successful training session.
 Isaiah was working with Jury, Rhoda's mare. 
 Magda came back with Evan and took him into the outdoor arena to work with him while Isaiah was working with Jury in the round pen.
 Our airbnb guests came out to watch and the kids had to love on Studly Karin's dog.
 When Jury was put away we brought out Lily's colt Prins Alexander for some round pen work.
 This colt has the usual BIG movement all of Lily's foals have.


 Indy's colt was taken into the stall where Isaiah worked with him. He got a tying lesson, all of his legs picked up and more leading practice.
 Magda had Oksana's colt in the other stall working with him.
 It is so good for these boys to be handled by different people.
 Lily's colt was brought in for Karin to work with.
 After the weanlings were put away everyone left. Philip, Taegan and Kensley came over to work on the volley ball court and brought Pax with them.
 The court was being tilled to make it softer for the volley ball players. We have had no rain for a long time and everything is getting rock hard.

 Taegan tried to run the tiller but it was just a little too powerful for her.
It was a lot of work and we only got about a fourth of the court done before running out of gas.  Phil loaded the car then called for Pax who came running.
Mark needed a hair cut this evening. I wanted to post the pictures taken today of Lily's colt on the Horsemeister Facebook page but with the new layout couldn't find where to make a new album. Finally it was just posted on my personal page then shared on the Horsemeister page. I don't know WHY Facebook needs to change things around, we old dogs don't LIKE to learn new tricks. We had a beautiful day for outside work and now I'm too tired to do inside work and have company coming tomorrow. I'll need to get up early.
