Madiera In

 Finally Madiera is showing and was covered BUT because I needed Evan for Rosaleigh, Valiant was used. I really like what Madiera produces when bred to Evan but I loved the movement and height she threw on her foals when bred to Valiant so it really wasn't too hard to make that decision

Above is her first foal, a filly we named Isla by Valiant and below is Isla at age 2.
Then we bred her to Evan and she produced a gorgeous black colt we named Joshua. 
Above and below are Joshua:
Her next was bay colt by Evan named Kyro.
And this year she had another colt by Evan born May 30th, 2021
She stood well this morning. We had a lot of rain during the night and rain off and on today but during one of the breaks Mark loaded the older Huskavarna mower on the flatbed trailer and delivered it to Berea Baptist church. Their mower broke and they weren't able to get a new one yet. I moved a new bale in the last paddock for Jewel and Madiera then when Mark got back we took the flat bed trailer off the truck and hooked up the 2 horse trailer then loaded Lily and her filly for the trip to Middle Grove. It wasn't raining when we left so we planned on picking up Indy after dropping off Lily but when we got to Trivoli it started pouring down rain. Nope we weren't going to hike up to find Indy in the rain. When we reached Farmington the pavement was dry and the sun came out so yes we were going to pick up Indy but when we reached Middle Grove it was pouring again. We unloaded Lily and her filly in the rain then got back in the truck and headed for home. I had promised to buy Mark lunch at Bs but when we got there the place was packed and there was no parking. It was 1:30 pm so we were really surprised it was so crowded but then it was still raining and there isn't much else to do but congregate at Bs. We stopped at Casey's in Hanna City and Mark went in to buy some food while I filled the tank. He ended up with a wrap which we shared and it was really good. Diane called a bit later to see if we would like to come over to mom's for games. Ruth and Fedi joined us. Diane was very distracted by phone calls. Her renter at Gulf Shores arrived and the cleaners had not been there to clean. They showed up, changed the sheets and left. The renters complained that they didn't clean so they came back stayed for 15 minutes and left again. Right about that time Diane got the notice that she had been charged the $140.00 cleaning fee on her credit card. Diane had already told the renters she would refund them the cleaning fee so called the cleaning company and they told her they did a good job, just the renters were unreasonable. No wonder she couldn't focus on the game. She quit and went home. We finished the game without her. After the game Rosaleigh was called in and covered by Evan then they were put away.
