Had Peppy checked at the clinic this morning, not ready yet. Monday is the new date to check her and see if she´s ready to be bred. She´s not really showing heat this year so it´s abit harder than last year when she was like clockwork. She will be bred to Peeka Pep again and will hopefully give us another beautiful foal next year.

Polly is starting to shed her foalcoat and she´ll probably be brownishblueroanandmaybebay, chrystal clear right? Seriously, she looks like a painters palette right now so it´s really hard to tell. She´ll be darker than her mom and siblings though, just not real sure about colour yet.

Our friend Annelies mare, Athena Bac is changing owners and will be leaving us tonight. Our farrier is the new owner and this is one horse I won´t be missing!! (Sorry Annelie, couldn´t help myself.) She´s pretty ok to handle and be around, a bit skittish and full of nerves though. What irks me most about her is that she´s a real terror out in the pasture. She wont be caught, and when you have all the other mares lined up, just wanting to be caught, she comes crashing in to `em chasing them all away! Once she´s by herself she walks right up to the gate and wants to come! When your alone getting four or five horses in from the pasture and it´s away´s to the barn, you really don´t want to run back and forth all evening, so let´s just say she´s spent a few hours by her lonesome out in the pasture!
Me and Ida had a nice ride last night. We took Brady and Elton out for a spin to check fences and stuff in the summer pasture before letting the mares out there this weekend. It was a really beautiful evening with a setting sun and a warm reddish light stroking the green grass. It doesn´t get much better than that!
