Thunderstorm

Had us a wicked thunderstorm last night. Started out around 10pm and we didn´t think much of it then. At 5.30am we sure enough got woke up! Loud boom, windows rattling and the whole family shook awake! We jumped out of bed and saw the geldings running wild in their pasture. Close call! Power gone, but hussle out to get the geldings in. The fillies and pony's already stalled up due to the virus we've had the last couple of weeks. Everything turned out fine though and the storm subsided and we got us some breakfast and some chorse done before letting the horses out again a few hours later. The humidity and fronts are building up again though and it looks like another one is coming!

Went to the Knights festival with the kids in a neighbouring town and spent a bunch of money on pretty much nothing:(

Watching the first go of the Summer Spectacular Derby open. Great, great horses and a couple of very nice runs so far. SVR Reyl Smart (Dual Rey-The Smart Look) just took the lead with a 218.5 just ahead of Moms Stilish Cat (High Brow Cat-Moms Stylish Pepto) marking a 218. These two were at it in the Super Stakes sharing reserve that time and they look to go another round here aswell! Great papers on the pair also, SVR Reyl Smart being half brother to Futurity Champion One Smart Lookin Cat (LTE: $226,310), Worl Champion WR This Cats Smart (LTE: $236,514) & Derby Champion Smart Lookin Hi Brow (LTE: $216,395). Moms Stilish Cat's familytree is pretty impressive also; Moms Stylish Scoot, Stilish Rey, Playboy's Mom, Leanette etc.

Gotta run the 4th set is about to begin!
