Look who's here

 Remember I mentioned to stay tuned for more horse news? 

Here ya go!

Yes that's Gussie! Shayla is going on a mountain trip in August, right about the time Gussie is due to foal, so she brought Gussie here for me to foal out and breed her to Beamer on her foal heat. 

She's close to foaling, could be any day now or in a couple of weeks, so I'm on foal watch. 

She's pretty big! 

Yes Gussie, tell me all about how you are going to release that hostage asap!

It's nice to have Big Red back for a while! Such a sweet mare. 

Shayla spent some time with Ruby while she was here and gave me a few things to work on with her. It was nice to see someone else ride her and especially nice that Shayla liked her. 

Meanwhile, we are back into cool rainy weather and even have our furnace on today. I have most of my hay in, just need a few more bales and we will be set. It's so nice to have a lot of pasture that the mares can graze until there's too much snow. 

Lots of misty mornings lately, along with heavy dew. No drought here! I saw the news about all the flooding in Nova Scotia and hope our blogger friend TeresaA wasn't affected by it. 

The garden and flowers are thriving. The tomatoes are not too happy, too much rain for them . 

The Zinnias have started blooming and the Cosmos will be popping soon too. 

It seems that July just flew by....
