Buckskin Filly

The place where I boarded at has another foal born.  This one was waited for for a long time and turned out exactly what they wanted.  The mom wanted a filly and the daughter wanted a buckskin and that's exactly what they got!  Never seems to work for me.  But last year they bred a black mare to a black stud and got a sorrel filly, so glad they got what they wanted this time around.

She is huge!  Such long legs and so cute.  She also has the grey eyes.

She was still figuring out how to work those legs when we saw her.  She kept kicking her self with them, it was kinda funny.  But then she put her out in the round pen and she knew how they worked better, except when she went to lay down.

Two more to foal over there now, one mid June and the other in July (we think) but she is going to Airdrie to be foaled out cause the barn owner there is gonna owner of the foal.

I miss having some babies around, and now I am not boarded there so won't see these guys much either, guess I will have to pop over for a visit now and then and see how they are growing :)

Wednesday on Friday

Well we had a change of plans, which worked out well for me since I wasn't sure I wanted to show yet anyways.  Char headed to Regina this weekend and so we aren't working buffalo's this week or going to the show.
(Dude)

But she did ask me to ride Dude a couple times since she wont be riding for at least 6 days and thinks he needs to be kept in shape cause we do want to do lessons next week.  That should be kinda fun even though I never rode him before it will be neat to see how different he is from Jessie.

Hehe there are a couple dogs hanging around the barn too, one is a border collie and she is really friendly and more of a pet than anything which works there cause she has no desire to chase horses.  And then there is this other dog there not sure what kind he is, I think a jack russell mix of some sort.  He is really cute and makes me laugh everytime I go out there.

And on Saturday I am gonna ride with Lu so that will be kinda fun too, been a long time since I got to ride with her so I'm kinda excited to see how her horse is.  He is a nice looking bay and seems pretty quiet.

I took a couple short videos of the colt playing and he is quite athletic in the second video he is doing pretty cool moves, but the neatest part is the color of the hills behind him, it was so orange, I think it must have been the sun was setting on the other side and reflecting.
