It was a typical day today. It was chilly this morning, but it warmed to a beautiful spring like day. All the horses were pretty frisky, this was confirmed by Carolyn. Shania was a handful and was very excited about being in the round pen. She went in and conducted her ritual of rolling. She loves to roll. She jumped up ran around, kicking her heels up and squealing. Once, she had completed this it was time for business. She was put through her walk, trot paces and by this was completed she was sufficiently calmed down. Carolyn took her out for a nice long walk visiting the other horses. Silky, Dumplin and Cloud were all taken out as well. They all had round pen time as well as a walk out by the football team. I was doing the water barrels at the time so I was able to watch them go through their paces.
I worked with Baby B today. She is now in the round pen for the night. She was excited to get out and kick up her heels. I decided to come in and grab a cup of coffee and then go out and sit to watch Ms. B. I noticed there was a message on the phone. I listened to it not once but twice.... Our BIG GIRLS, Jerri, Apple and Nellie, will be arriving the end of next week. Wow!! Now we must put everything into high gear. We were not expecting them to arrive until the week of February 11th, however things have change. We now have to get the stalls built asap, but hay, don't we all work well under pressure....LOL...my head and heart are filled with joy knowing that these beautiful girls will be here so very soon. The chances of them being in foal is very good, so springtime will be a time of the Gift of Life. This is going to prove to be a challenge, but we are up for it. We want to give these girls a second chance of a good life, and for them to have their babies in a safe and loving environment. We will be working on setting up the cameras which will broadcast via marestare.com, but the first priority is their pens.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful day and I bid all of you sweet dreams!
