2 More in Foal

 Mom couldn't walk this morning, she had a phone virtual doctor visit scheduled for 7:45 am and the doctor called a little early, even before her hair was brushed. Actually she had brushed it but asked Ruth to fix it only Ruth had to leave for school so Ruth asked me and I didn't think it was fixable so took her bun down and was in the process of putting it up when the doctor called. Yep, I was in the dog house for that one. Karin arrived early to clean mom's rugs and couch then take mom to her eye doctor appointment but when they got to the eye center mom found out her appointment was in August not July so instead she visited the glasses department so got an eye exam then ordered some of those really fancy trifocals that get dark when the sun is shining. Between her new glasses, her new hearing aids and her implants (that is dental implants NOT the other kind) she is spending all of our inheritance. We are teasing her about that telling her to go for it as she shouldn't be saving her money for her old age, after all she IS 89. A big crane arrived this morning to start setting the new barn trusses. 

The workers arrived early today to get ready for that and the first one was set after our walk.
 Dr. Hoerr was scheduled to come this morning and I was pleasantly surprised that he was actually GOING to arrive this morning. The vet clinic sent a text at 9:02 am that he was on his way while I was actually getting Indy covered by Evan. As soon as Evan was put away I started bringing in the mares and got them all in only to get the message that he was no longer on the way. Instead of putting them back out I decided to work with the foals. I was working with Madiera's colt when he walked in. We decided to do Hadassah's coggins first then start on the sonnagrams. 

She was checked in foal 3 weeks ago but the buyer wanted to make sure she was still pregnant. She was.

Next was Rosaleigh, she was covered by Evan on June  26th and June 28th.

She was also confirmed in foal and is due June 7th, 2022

My last mare to check was Madiera. She was covered by Valiant the same days as Rosaleigh was covered by Evan. Her colt was very curious about what Dr. Hoerr was doing to his mama.

She also conceived and is also due June 7th, 2022.

We still needed to sonogram Whisky the outside mare to see where she was in her cycle. She had a little edema and a decent size follicle. Just to make sure she actually ovulates this follicle she was given a shot of prostaglandin. She will be ready to cover tomorrow morning. Dr. Hoerr drove his van over to the cabin field to draw blood on Ripper for his coggins. Daniel and Daniella had spent the night at Diane's with their 4 boys and were just loading up getting ready to leave for home after a month long trip visiting friends and relatives. They will be so glad to be home and only have a 7.5 hour trip today. After Dr. Hoerr left I stopped to take a video of one of the trusses going up on the new barn.

I went inside to update the website and a little more paper work. Mark got home early and worked from home until supper which was bbq ribs and salad. We picked up mom for church. David Obergfel had the message tonight. We all stayed extra long visiting and didn't get home until after 9:00 pm.
