Working and prepping

Spent all day after work getting ready for the parade on Friday. Looks like we will have 10 horses participating in the parade and 4 giving pony rides before the parade. Ruth will make her first appearance at a lighted parade with her new mare Fox. She is very excited to finally have a horse that she can ride in the parades and such with us. She said she has waited years for a horse like Fox, and couldn't be more pleased with us. It is too bad Fox did not go to KY as planned but I guess everything works out for a reason, and I guess she was meant to stay in this area.
Speaking of KY the folks down there that Don delivered horses to a few months ago have all contacted to let us know their new ponies are doing great and they are more than pleased with them. Secret's new owner is just tickled to death with her, and Rusty and his new owner are getting along great. Texas trip is planned for Dec. and Ghost will be in his new home, then Frosty and Molly will be heading for their new homes soon after. After much turmoil this summer and many postponed trips due to circumstances out of our control, it has all fallen into place finally. You know what they say, best laid plans don't always work out but most everyone has been more than patient and understanding, and the folks in KY said it was more than worth the wait for their new ponies.
Cal came and visited today, said he got his paperwork on Velvet and is just tickled to death:P But also wanted to know if we had snuck an extra horse in the pasture. I told him no, but he said he counted six not five when he left to come in town. HMMMM. So Don went out and checked out the situtation and I am sure there is going to be one unhappy horse owner next year as someones paint mare, in heat, was in our stallion pasture with our four stallions. Hopefully she did not get bred. We checked all over but no one was missing a horse, so not sure what to do with her. We moved her to a different area and hope someone comes a looking for her.
Babe our little BLM mustang from NE is doing fantastic!! She has settled in so nicely and is really receptive to everything going on around her. Domino is making progress with leaps and bounds, Trystan is riding her, and Xyla will be going home in Dec when Don heads to TX. Will miss the longeared girl.
Ladybug is turning into a love bug, just follows us around like a puppy dog. She really has come a long way. And Chica and Silver are doing great also, really taming down and loving the good life. Waiting for her DNA tests to come back and if she is LWO negative then she will be heading to her new home in MN soon also.
Boy going to get some frequent flyer miles next month, not sure if Don is even going to be home for Christmas at this point. I think he may layover in AR with Moose and his family when he drops Molly off.
They postponed Grandma Alice's surgery until tomorrow and we pray all will go well with her.
