Beauty and the beast(s)

The  filly is spoken for by Shayla's best friend! So nice that she will be where we can watch her as she matures. And she has a barn name- they wanted Huckleberry which was inspired by the pie they had when thinking up names, so I am calling her Pie- because she's just as sweet as pie! Today when picking up her feet, she let me hold them and make a little circle with the foot and then set it on the ground. Good girl, Pie!

I finally got a video of her galloping in from pasture too. 

Let me lead, mama, you're too slow!

That filly has wheels! But she doesn't get all amped up, just walks over and socializes right away. 

The next step is to introduce her to a halter. 

Gussie hasn't come in her foal heat yet, but I think by Wednesday that big ole blue moon will fix that. 

 I haven't seen her drinking water yet, but she was on the salt today. It's been hot the last few days so she probably needed it. And she has toofers coming through to help with all that grass and hay she eats. 

Then there's the beasts... first, the cute ones!

Kitty toes!

Turns out only Smudge is a male of that litter, Badger and Misty are definitely females. 

Then there are the coyotes, the reason I lock up my mares in pens during the night, 

Take a listen and turn up the volume. This was about 100 yards from Beamer's barn. They were across the river.

I imagine they will be howling at the blue full moon on Wednedsday!
