Things accomplished Sunday

Aches and pains! loaded and unloaded 3,5 tons of hay yesterday, me feels it today!
Should last us a month or so.

Rode Timber again yesterday, he´s getting better but there are still plenty of holes in his game. He´s trying and is really eager to please but he needs alot of time to build muscle and learn how to carry and balance himself. I love his attitude though!

Worked the fillies from the ground yesterday too. First up was Cat. First time working her in the dark under the lone light in the pen. She was soo much better than expected. Really calm and relaxed for beeing her. Got alot of nice work done, bending and flexing neck and poll, moving hind & frontquarters, backing, sidepass etc. She´s a really sensetive lady, light in her front end and really loads up behind, love it!

Got our weanling Peeka Pep filly, Polly, up under the lights too, wich also was a first. I thought she would fret alittle beeing alone, first time away from her buddies. Not so, she acted just like her sibblings Molly & P.J. Really quiet and just wanting to please, almost asking what I wanted done next! I was a little leary about her as she has a lot more bite to her then the others but she was great!

Peeka Peps a plenty today in the Amature division of the NCHA Futurity. 3 Peeka Peps has a chance to advance to the semis Wednesday. Kelsey Turners Annas Brightest Star is already qualified for the Ltd Non-Pro semis on Tuesday and the Non-Pro semis wednesday! If any of them makes the finals it will be the third straight year Peeka Pep has a Futurity Finalist in his first three limited crops!

Ashado Boko winning on Sunday!
Ashado Boko, the 3yo trotter filly our company owns the tail of, won her third race!! And best of all, she beat or friend & neighbours mare Sweetly Girl! Ashado was racing 4th inside and in the last turn she was pulled back with horses all around her. Looked like she was going to finish last! All of a sudden, her driver found an opening on the outside, exploding and zig-zaggin left and right over the homestretch she won easily by half a length!
