Skye Sold

We had a good walk today, mom felt well enough to come along. Karin arrived after the walk and offered to go with me to Middle Grove to pick up Madiera and her colt Kyro. When we got out there no horses were in sight so we started hiking the up on the ridge first and ended up hiking around the entire 78 acres with no horses in sight. I sent a text to Mike to make sure they were in this pasture then Karin went down to the cabin to get the 4 wheeler but right about then I heard a neigh. We found them up by the double red gates. All horses were checked over then Madiera haltered. All of the horses followed us to the truck and trailer but then split off to head down to the lake for a drink. It was a beautiful day for a hike, we just didn't want to hike THAT long. No pictures, when the horses weren't in sight I knew it would be a long hike and didn't want to carry extra weight. This pasture is rough with lots of hills, trees, valleys and plenty of places a herd of 30 horses and big ones at that can hide. Madiera and Kyro loaded up very nicely and we were on our way home. They were taken right into the stall and a halter put on Kyro so he could get a refresher course in tying, hoof picking up and handling all over. He did very well. By the end was standing quietly as his halter was taken off and on a few times. They were put out with Indy, Rosaleigh, Sheena and their foals.  Indy was taken out and teased, then covered by Evan when she showed. Dr. Hoerr was correct, she was coming into season. Sure hope she settles on this season.
Sarah was here with Zion, Eden, Abe and Addyson. We went on a golf cart ride through the trails looking for dinosaur eggs and found 2 huge hatched ones (broken clay culverts that LOOK like broken eggs) . From there we went black berry picking. We found lots of blackberries. All of the grand children picked and ate then picked and ate somemore. We didn't save ANY for grandpa.

Skye sold to the lady that wanted her 2021 foal.  The pictures below were taken this spring before her black shiny coat faded.

Mark and I went to mom's for church and were joined by Ruth and Fedi, Diane, Joan, Sarah, Faith, Mackenson and Berlica.  Mike Rieker had the message. After the service Tim Funk announced David as our new minister. Next Wednesday will be held live at church for the confirmation vote.
