The wait is over!

It was a really busy weekend around here, we had an auction to work on Saturday and I managed to not spend more than I made- I came home with a cream can for only $25, and a crock that I gave to a friend; but I should have bought this trunk- I wasn't bidding because I thought it would sell for a lot of money and wasn't quick enough when I realized it was selling for only $10.

On Friday, I watched some of the Jim Anderson clinic, held at the new indoor arena at Creston Flats Stables, it had me itchin' to get working cows again. Maybe this fall, after Gussie's foal is weaned.

Sunday, we went and got Nitro for his new owner and brought him here. He's looking really good, but it was pretty sad for Veronica, having to part with him.
He hauled well, but when we went to unload him, he decided to take his time, didn't want to step out into the snow. Funny little guy.

 Eventually he did, and the horses were all talking to him as we put him in his pen, between Beamer and the mares.

His mamma Belle reminded him that she is the BOSS.

In no uncertain terms!

Silly old girl! That's your boy!

But his old buddy Chickory was happy to see him, and hung out with him for a bit.

Beamer was excited too, I wish I had the camera ready when I saw him rearing and leaping, and when he reared and pirouetted at the same time- holy smokes that boy's athletic! Nitro eventually was done visiting the mares and said hey to daddy.

Anyway, they all settled in and after Chickory leaves, probably next weekend, Nitro will go in the big pen with Belle and Gussie, at least until foaling time. Now it's time for me to head out and do my morning chores- and take more photos of course!
