Busy Day Late Night

 I was up early and went right over to the barn to get it ready for the group coming in today at 9:00 am. By 8:30 am I was done but realized even though the air conditioner was on it was not running. Mark came over to see if he could fix it but he was not able to. Our guests arrived as he was working on it. I left there to get the foaling apartment ready. When that was finished Basilea was covered by Valiant. I was just putting the horses away when Kensley arrived. She would be spending the day with us as Taegan has a tournament in Chicago, Braelyn is at camp and Phil was working (he even came to check out the kitchen airconditoner at the barn). It was starting to rain so we met Stephanie, Israel and Elisabet at Elevate for some jumping fun. 

We paid for the 2 hour jump time and by the time that was over they were hot and sweaty. Kensley and I stopped at Culvers on 150 for a lunch at 1:00 pm and the place was packed. When we arrived back at the farm Sarah and Rhoda had arrived to work with the horses. Izzy was first. Today she did very well.

She accepted the tarp much better. Rhoda gave Sarah some pointers and by the time they stopped we were all pleased. Kensley gave the girls golf cart rides while they were working with Izzy.

Next they brought out the foals. We put the pretty pink halter on Star's filly and she matched Zion.

The filly got lots of handling, then we took some pictures for the website as I didn't have any nice ones.

We also got a short video of her movement. 

This filly is for sale for $3500.00 She can be reserved with a deposit of $1000.00 with balance due in September at weaning and pick up. Next out was Rosaleigh and her colt. This colt is so photogenic. 

He also has amazing movement getting lots of air time.

Of course we needed to get a video of that!

He is also for sale. He is by Valiant so will be TALL, he is a purebred Friesian stud colt and with his height, movement, conformation and beauty he is worth much more than what we are asking for him which is $12,000.00 He really will be that fantastic fantasy Friesian everyone desires. He also can be reserved with a deposit of $1000.00 balance due at weaning in September. He will be registered and dna'd in the FHHI registry.

After cleaning up Mark and I left at 5:30 pm for Kensley's softball game in Elmwood. We have never seen her pitch at a game and thought we would be able to watch that tonight but tonight she played first base and third base and at each position got players out. As a hitter she was hit by the ball once, walked every other time except the last time then got a base hit but ended up with 4 or 5 runs.

We didn't stay to see the finish. I had airbnb guests waiting to be introduced to the horses. We arrived home at 8:04 pm and they were outside on the porch waiting for us. We took a tour and met every horse then brought the mares and foals into the stalls so they could be handled too. It was almost 9:00 pm by the time I put the horses away and got back to the house.
