Sale Pending

 Brrr it was cold this morning. I went out around 7:00 to head over to mom's house and the moon was glowing huge in the west. 

It is very frustrating that the camera can't pick up the orange color or the craters that were visible to the naked eye. 

Mom's lights were still out so I waited until after 8:00 to head back over to put in her eye drops and brush her hair. 
It had warmed up to 42 by 9:00 am but with a stiff breeze from the north. Isaiah brought Isla out to work in the round pen. 

Magda brought Hadassah and Maddalen in to the barn to tack up. This was the first time Maddalen has seen a saddle on her mom and had to check that out.

When Magda was putting the bridle on Hadassah Maddalen had to check out Magda. 

Those horses were put away while Magda brought Valiant out and round penned him. While that was happening Kayla, Karin, Isaiah and I were cleaning up the indoor arena getting it all organized for winter.  Magda rode Valiant first then left to put on her costume giving Isaiah a turn to ride him. 

Magda made her outfit. 

Valiant wasn't too impressed when the cloak blew under his belling and wrapped up against his back legs. He did ok at the walk.

Magda took the cape off and just rode him in the skirt. He did fine then.

Karin rode him a bit then Isaiah went in to ask him to lay down, roll and sit up.  

They left to go on a trail ride with Mika, Sangria, Missy and Sally. While they had the horses out Mark helped move in a round bale for the middle paddock.  Later Hadassah and Maddalen were taken into the field to get a video for her perspective buyers. Maddalen showed off beautifully, galloping around with her tail up in the air and a huge beautiful trot. I went in to download it and the video camera was blank.  I was shocked as I was sure I had pushed the record button at least 5 different times and each time it said it was recording. I tested the camera in the house it worked perfectly so I went back out and asked the horses to run again and this time Maddalen was quite as dramatic but still a beautiful canter and big trot. I ran into the house got the camera hooked up the computer and for the second time NOTHING had recorded. The only thing on the video camera was the test I had done in the house. I was going to just give up but Mark came in about then and I asked him to help the 3rd time. The camera was tested in the house and outside and each time it worked but this time the horses really didn't want to run. SO I have a very short and not so impressive video to share with the people that wanted to see a video.

While that was being uploaded to youtube Nolan and Sarah arrived with a bumble bee and a doctor.

After getting some candy here they borrowed the golf cart to head over to mom's, Diane's, and Joan's houses. Anna arrived with a Spider Girl, an Egyptian princess and a Marvel character. 

Taunya came after dark. When her car arrived Emma had to come out to see who was here. 

She had a good witch, an army guy, a SWAT team guy and a dinosaur. 

Rhoda sent this picture of Iris. 

 Stephanie sent this picture of her princess and ninja. 

The video of Maddalen was sent to the people that wanted to see it and they want to buy her. She has been marked sale pending. Mark worked on winterizing both of the campers and got lots of other things done outside. We are both tired and will head to bed soon. Tonight we get an extra hour of sleep as the clocks turn back.
