Outside ALL DAY
There was no hurry to get going this morning. Saturday there is no walk and today I had no one moving in or out. I went over to grain Lucy and Valiant around 9:15 and since we had someone coming to look at the camper at 10:00 turned the propane on and then the furnace. I went back to check to see if it was warm inside about 9:50 am and it wasn't. The propane tank was empty. The family arrived right about then but it wasn't an issue. Their two daughters were fascinated with the horses.
Rhoda arrived just as they were done looking which was about an hour and a half later. I kept the girls entertained by giving them golf cart rides. They were a nice family and want to think about exactly what would be best for them but told me they would let me know soon. Rhoda started working with Gypsy, the paint mare first. About then Sarah and Nolan arrived. The went to work putting the back gate back on it's hinges and fixing a downed board.
River and Zion wanted to try Gypsy. Below is the complete video of Rhoda working first with Gypsy then with River and Zion.
The next job, before working any of the other ponies, was to take Lucy out, wash down the scrape on her leg. She was taken to the stall to apply the spray on bandage.
Sarah took the video below.
She moved as I was spraying so I got it on both legs but made sure to get the scrape well covered. We took her out to the outdoor to work with her and of course to show her owner that she is not lame.
I had to use youtube for her video as that is the only way I can send it to her owner.
Sarah had to leave then but Zion stayed. She went on a trail ride with Rhoda. I took a couple pictures then a short video and just as they were walking down the trail head my phone died.
I stayed back and charged the phone enough that I could get a video of Zion mounting Stardust. She climbs the rail, whirls her hand around, Stardust moves to the side and Zion climbs on.
Zion had some fun with Stardust today, learning a new way to stop her.
Spark and Rhonda walked over and Mark asked Spark to help him with that old golf cart. Zion put Stardust away then Mark, Rhoda, Zion and I went to Gil's Supper club for supper.
We ordered onion rings to start and they were so good I forgot to take a picture until they were almost gone.
Our meals were delicious! Rhoda ordered the ribeye steak sandwich, Zion ordered the kids chicken finger dinner and Mark and I shared the cob salad.
We all ate every bite! When we got back the new metal manure forks were here. Rhoda and Zion helped put them together.
We shouldn't be so excited about these but we all were. Tonight as I was working on the blog Julie, the lady that bought one of Soul's foals by Evan sent me these two pictures. It is not of her daughter it is one of their close friends that wanted her senior pictures taken with Gideon or Thor as they call him now.
We sure do appreciate updated pictures of our foals. Wow did he turn out gorgeous! We spent almost the entire day outside and are so thankful for the sunshine. Without that sun it would have been too cold. We are a week into November and so thankful we can still be outside.
