Hadassah's Filly

 We had a good walk this morning with mom doing my place, Diane's and Rachel's before turning around and finishing at her house. Anna and I left at 9:00 am for Nolan's grandfather's visitation. We arrived even before the starting time. I needed to be back before 10:30 am as Ripper was getting picked up today. We made it home before 10:30. Our guests had left so Anna changed then started cleaning. Karin was here and hosing down Indy and her filly before taking them outside. The hosing is because it is so hot out this helps keep them cool. I grabbed the camera to get some updated pictures for her owner. Her owner named her Paloma which means Dove which signifies Christ.



If you would like to see the rest of the pictures of this filly click HERE. About the time Karin finished with her the truck and trailer were here for Ripper. He was hosed down and his mane braided to help him keep cool before loading for the long trip to South Carolina.
He hesitated going in the trailer but Mike showed up about then, walked in the trailer and Ripper jumped in after him.
I headed over to mom's house where Joan had company. They were all enjoying the lake.


I was visiting with mom and Rhonda when my phone went off. It was someone from Alaska wanting to book the barn apartment for 4 days in September. That meant I needed to go home, get on the computer, then on airbnb site and block off those days on the airbnb calendar. They knew about the place from coming out and seeing it a couple years ago. Their grandmother is going to be celebrating her 98th birthday and the family is getting together for that big event.  Hadassah and her filly were taken out, hosed down good then a video and pictures made for the website. Hadassah's foals ALWAYS have great movement and this one does too.
I didn't have anyone to help so the video is short. I took them in the round pen for a few still shots. Check out how high off the ground all 4 hooves are in the picture below. She has springs for legs.



She should end up pitch black, most of her siblings ended up that way with the exception of one. The video and pictures were sent to the South Dakota lady but if she doesn't take her, this 75% Friesian filly is for sale for $5000.00 OR buy her with Hadassah PLUS Hadassah is bred back to Evan confirmed in foal due May 15th, 2022 all for only $7500.00. I'm not nuts, just getting tired and that is the ONLY reason I'm offering a 3/1 package. The outside mare Whisky was covered by Evan.
She won't need to be checked again until Sunday. Jewel is probably in season. She was hanging around Valiant this afternoon and I would have covered her except I have to use Evan with her as Valiant is her half brother and Evan HAD to be used on the outside mare. The builders got a lot done on the barn today.
It is starting to look like a building, not just a building site. Our airbnb guests coming in today sent a message that they will be arriving late so I ran up to the apartment and turned all the lights on for them. The sun is that red ball in the sky again like a couple nights ago.
Mom said it was because of the fires out West. I didn't even know there were fires burning.
