Exciting End
Well we all walked over 2 rounds, even Rhonda walked with us as I was supposed to give her a bag from Gail and had left that in the car. My new airbnb guests had accidently got locked out so I took the golf cart over to let them in. There was a bat in the stall area by the apartment back door. After finding a glove I took him off the wall and gave him a lift into the air.
Mike picked up Crew and those two took chainsaws on the 'death trails' clearing them enough for the horses to get through without getting scratched by thorn bushes.
Mike was so pleased with the horses, they stood steady even during the chain sawing. Beth and Diane arrived and took the meat grinder over to Joan's house then got their suits on and went floating out on the lake. Rhonda also joined them. David arrived with Elisabet, Sarah arrived with Zion, Eden and River and then Rebekah arrived with Jordan, Riley, Blair, Walter and Mica. The beach was full.
I had to meet a man renting a camper at Joan's house and when I got there Rachel was bringing over the bottles. The fawns are now let loose during the day but usually come running when they hear or see Rachel or Joan. Today they were both in their night pen. I guess they felt safe and just wanted to relax. Eden got to feed the little one.
Two bales needed to be moved in, Mark had his therapy for his knee today so I asked Sarah if she could help. She was more than willing. Evan got a bale as did the last paddock with Jewel, Sally and Rosalie. Once that was done Sarah worked with Penny, her new pony. Penny is 14.1 hands and really has pretty impressive movement.
She is teaching her round pen reasoning and today Penny got it, she was asked to stop, turned in and followed Sarah to the mounting block.
Penny's first trail ride is scheduled for Saturday, we will see how she behaves following the other horses. Shaeya my grand niece is coming out with some cousins and offered to work with her on the trails.
When we got back from the horses the weather got hot so both Mark and I took a quick swim in the lake. The top layer was comfortable but each time we dove down that water was really cold. We have not had a good stretch of hot weather to heat it up yet. Braelyn came over to visit. She is now into needlepoint and was working on a project while enjoying the shade on the deck. She joined us for supper then we drove to Louisville Slugger where Kensley was playing her last game of the season. (I think)
Then their team was up to bat for the last time. They were down by 2 runs but made 5 in that, the other team had one more chance to tie or catch up but, Kensley caught a fly ball which was the 3rd out.
The game was pretty close until the last inning. Kensley made an in the park home run and also brought home one of the other girls who was on 3rd. They won 9 to 6.An exciting way to finish the day. Since the Tesla would need to be charged tonight Mark met me at our old house with the golf cart so I wouldn't have to walk home. He really is a nice guy.
