Short update

Well Jessica transported down a bunny from mid-north Ohio(Kenton to be exact) for my blue dutch breeding program: 
Her name is Spellmire's Grace.  She'll be called Gracie in my barn.  She's intended strictly for breeding as her markings aren't the greatest but I'll probably bring her back to the table once or twice just for some fun. 
 
With Allen here, I got a load of hay in, 35 bales:
So when Christmas break comes in, I'm hoping to put the last of the hay I need for the winter up in the barn.  I'll have to get it cleared out(especially get them totes out of there) and with the trio of us there we'll be able to get plenty of hay into the barn for the remander of winter. 
 
I also figured out I need to change the gullet on my saddle, the 4x is too wide!!
It should be an easy 4 finger fit between the cantle and her withers.
 
It's sitting too low and close to her backbone/withers now.  Good thing it's an interchangable Gullet on that saddle!  I can change it to teh 3x gullet as her wither's develop and she gets more fit.

Nice day for working!

Well It was a gorgeous day once I got rolling.  I slept in to catch up on some sleep. Then I got up and feed everyone, checked out A.Lisa's little Netherland buck as seh brought him by after picking him up in Morehead(He's as cute as a button!  Must get U.Jim to post photos!) 
Then I wanted to get some more work in on Heidi under saddle. Get that steering thing down.  It's a good thing she's laid back.  
So after our work under saddle I tossed the halter on them and let them loose in the backyard to graze some of the green we still had.
 
Mom was worried Heidi would run off, I insisted she wouldn't- not with green grass in front of her face!

And this is the chocolate buck that came home so he can go to Marie's.  Marie is raising(er attempting to raise them she needed a buck) chocolate dutch
