Mark was very helpful. He led Rosalie up to the clinic then I switched and took Rosalie and gave him Valerie while Rosalie was put in the stocks. Once she was in I had him stand next to Valerie while Dr. Hoerr did Rosalie's ultrasound.

Rosalie is in the blue halter while Valerie is in the purple halter. Rosalie was open, just like I thought. I wasn't sure how Valerie would go into the stocks but she followed me right in. She also is open. Disappointing but nothing to be done except bring them in for breeding in April or May.  I really was pleased with how well behaved both mares were.. Mark led Rosalie to the trailer while I took Valerie, they both just stepped into the trailer and once they were loaded I went back in to pay.  Now I will need to fix the website. Mark was dropped off at home then I went right to Middle Grove to drop off the mares. When I arrived I regretted taking Mark home first. The herd was napping at the gate. I wasn't sure if I would have enough time to open the gate and pull in before they all came running. The video below proves I got the job done.

Mike wanted Roseberry home to work with her so she was haltered and led into the trailer and tied. I should have brought Bulu's colt home, he came right up to me. He still needs to be registered, He has been at Middle Grove and I had forgotten to pull hair for the registry. Should have done that but was starting to feel chilled. 

About then I got a message that I should bring Dreamer home, Dreamer is Madiera's filly by Valiant born Sept 9th, 2025 and more than ready to be weaned. She came right up to me but didn't stand well for haltering so instead I just walked Madiera into the trailer and Dreamer followed. Madiera was then unloaded. The herd was still at the gate so instead of trying to get out I took the trailer to the far field then put the halter on Dreamer. After waiting about 20 minutes I drove back to the gate. The herd was about half way up the hill which gave me enough time to open the gate and drive out. Roseberry and Dreamer were put in the paddock with the other weanlings. Dreamer was tied as I wanted to make sure she remembered that. 

She will be looking for her mama but no calling yet. The others just settled down to graze.

I worked a little with Dreamer asking her to go forward a step at a time but soon thought I think I'm going to faint. I was glad the golf cart was up and took that back to the house then for the rest of Thursday and all of Friday could only sit moaning. I hadn't had anything to eat since Culvers on Wednesday night so thought I would try some oatmeal but I held the bowl, and just be smelling that started vomiting. After another miserable night this morning I'm starting to feel better and even drank a cup of coffee.
