Isla

 I was doing dishes when Rhoda sent a message that she would go with me to pick up Isla today. I wasn't going to turn that down, finished the dishes quickly then took the Summerdale camper off the truck and hooked up the 2 horse trailer.  When Rhoda arrived we loaded up Jury and took off for Middle Grove. We drove to the far end and unloaded Jury but the horses weren't in sight.

We were hoping Jury would neigh and they would all come running but that didn't happen so Jury was loaded back up and we went to the front of the property and started climbing the hill. When we reached the top they were all spread out grazing. 

They came running when we they saw us so I turned on the video of the still camera. It couldn't keep up with the focus so in parts is very blurry. 

They ran right past us down the hill to the truck and trailer to check out who else we brought. They had that truck and trailer completely surrounded.

We hiked back down the hill but soon they started running again and ran back up the hill and then to the big field. Below are a couple pictures of them running back up the hill.

We drove the truck and trailer to the big field, put a halter on Isla and tied her up then went to check the other horses. 

Isla is coming in so I can get updated pictures of her and a new video. Isla is again for sale. She is HUGE for only 2 and a half years old. She is registered and DNA'D in the Warlander book of Friesian Heritage Horse International registry.  She has fantastic movement and really is quality.  Her price is $7000.00 now but if not sold by spring we will breed her to Evan, put training on her and then either keep her or significantly raise her price. She reminds us of Athena who was appraised at $25,000.00 as a 2 year old. Isla is just as beautiful and maybe even more athletic. When we got home Isla was put in the paddock next to Valiant. 

If you would like to see the rest of the pictures from this trip to Middle Grove click HERE. Mark was busy working in the indoor arena installing the new lights. 

We ate a quick supper of soup then we both went out to move the lift over to another light. Once the lift was set I left for Spark and Rhonda's house where we met to play games. Rhonda and mom both had good games but Diane and I did not. We still had a good time with lots of laughs. We finished around 8:30 pm and the barn lights were still on. Mark was working on the last light and wants to finish it tonight so Philip can use the lift. He is still out working on that even now as I'm finishing this post.
