We had a bit cooler weather but only because it was cloudy most of the day with a high in the upper 80s. Jewel was teased and covered successfully this morning before the walk. After the walk I drove in to Peoria but on the way noticed the lone turkey by the water tower.
I'm wondering if someone raised her then turned her loose. She was a little nervous but let me get quite close as I was speaking softly to her. She seems to be fine so I left her alone and will check the next time out that way. When I got back Oksana and her 4 day old colt were taken out. First Oksana was teased and she is not yet in. They were taken to the outdoor arena for some updated pictures for the website. He already is showing amazing movement but then he IS an Evan son.
This colt is available for $8500.00 and can be held with a deposit of $1000.00 with the balance due at weaning and pick up. He will be tall and more on the baroque style with lots of hair.
I had a hard time deciding on what pictures should be posted on the website. They were all pretty good. If you would like to see them click HERE. Both were fly sprayed before putting back. The next out was Jewel and her 5 day old filly by Evan. They were fly sprayed down before taking to the outdoor arena. This filly will also have the extreme movement and mega hair. She won't be quite as baroque but will be built like a warmblood.
This filly is 75% Friesian 25% Thoroughbred and is for sale $6000.00 her deposit is also $1000.00 with balance due at weaning and pick up. She should end up taller than 16 hands and will be registered with FHHI as soon as she is named. To see the rest of the pictures of this filly click HERE. They were put back and Rosleigh and her filly brought out. Rosaleigh loses weight while nursing and the other two do not so it is easier to give her the extra feed by bringing her out. They were both fly sprayed. Her filly was very interested in the scoop and tried to pick it up.
She was also curious about Rizzy and kept following Rizzy around while Rosaleigh ate.
Poor Rizzy couldn't figure out why she was being followed and ran under the fence into the paddock.
I needed to relieve Rachel at mom's house at 1:00 pm. We read the Reader's Digest out on mom's deck until she became sleepy. Mark brought us a Lebanese dinner tonight. We decided it wasn't our favorite. It was ok but some of the sauces were so hot they burned our mouth. Mom was pretty tired today and by 7:20 pm was ready to go to bed. The colt wasn't fed until 9:00 tonight but his afternoon feeding was also a little late. Zion had a lemonade stand at their house today and got lots of customers. 
All money raised is going to a SMI family for adoption! I still need to post the new pictures of the foals on the website before heading to bed.
