Weaning Day
Diane, Ruth, Barb, Janet, Evelyn, Sharon and I walked today with Spark only joined us for a bit and Joan is now in Branson, MO. After the walk we all had breakfast together at the barn then made lunches for all of the travelers. Before they all left we had a song and a prayer together. It was really a wonderful time of re-connecting. I needed to drop of check off at Meisters and as soon as I got home from that Mark helped get the stock trailer hooked up to the truck and helped me load Tessa and Harli. Today is weaning day for their foals. The two mares were taken to Middle Grove. Below is the video of when they were let out of the trailer. There was no calling or running around. Instead they just started grazing then leisurely walked away to find the herd.
I had Mark stay with the foals to make sure they didn't try to jump any fences. When I got back they were not at all upset, just eating hay quietly. When I went to over to take the video they came walking over to see what I was doing then started playing but no drama at all of losing their mamas.
The next job for me was to tease the paint mare the girls bought 3 weeks ago. She was in season so I called Mike to help with this cover. Valiant was used and he carefully got the job done. I started laundry but didn't work too hard today. Philip called at 4:00 pm to let us know the girls had games at Farmington at 5:00 pm. I showered and was ready to go by 4:15 pm. We made it there in plenty of time to see both games. Below is the 7th grade game. Kensley made the first 3 baskets for the first 6 points then a bit later a 3. In just a few minutes of the game she already had 9 points. She didn't play very long in this game but it was fun to watch the others.
The 7th graders won their game. The 8th grade game was a lot of fun to watch. Kensley and Taegan got to play together a lot of the game. 
They play well together. I know at half time Kensley had 7 points and Taegan had 15. They both added to their numbers in the second half but didn't get to play very long in the second half as they were up so far at half time. Below is some of that game.
