Indian Camp

 Today was the first day of Indian camp but just for the 2 and 3 year olds. Joan separated them this year.  

She had just 5. They put up a teepee, made drums, fishing poles, fished and each caught fish, they made Indian necklaces with beads and Joan was very thankful for help with them. This age it takes one helper per Indian. Click HERE if you would like to see the rest of the pictures. Below is a short video of them using their drums.
I only got to see the last of today's Indian camp as I left for Berean before it started. If you would like to see the pictures from Berean click HERE. On the way home from Berean I stopped at Sam's Club to pick up 2 full size water proof mattress pads for the FSX trailer bunks and one gel pad mattress pad for the queen bunk as I thought after sleeping on that it needed something more. This evening those were put on and I am pleased with how they all worked. I also picked up 'bear bones' for Thursday's evening meal for Indian camp. 6 big racks of bear rib bones covered in sweet murder hornet honey sauce. Thankful Sam's club carries those. Later the mares were teased and no showing yet. Jury and her colt were brought into the breeding shed paddock. Jury was de-wormed with Quest plus except she wasn't going to have that done to her and was rearing to get away from it. After about a half hour I got it in but not sure exactly  how much she actually swallowed so am going to do that again today but use a Safeguard. Her colt is really something, well put together and is such a show-off. His owner is going to be very pleased.


while out I snapped a few pictures of the other foals. Below are Tatiana, her filly and Jewel and her colt. This picture was taken early morning.
Below are the pictures taken  around 8:20 pm tonight. Below is Jewel's colt by Evan.
Below is Madiera's colt by Evan.
Hadassah's filly was yawning and more than ready for bed except I was there keeping them up by walking around snapping pictures.
Below is a better picture of Hadassah's filly by Evan.
Below is Tatiana's filly by Valiant.
below is Soul's filly by Evan.
Below is Lola's colt by Valiant. It is hard to get a good picture of him, he makes sure he is right next to the person first for all the attention.
Below is Lily's filly by Valiant.
Not posted are the 2 at Middle Grove, Rosalie's filly by Evan and Irish's colt by Valiant.
Click HERE if you want to see the rest of the pictures of foals tonight. Most were of Jewel's colt so I can get new pictures up on the Horsemeister website.
Galena is in the middle paddock with Rosaleigh and as soon as she saw me started moseying up to the gate.
It was getting dark so the camera was put down, the chores finished and more than time to head inside. Mark got his own supper tonight as I was busy working on the trailers.
