What do you do when you get a last minute call to hay when nine of your team and one truck are not home? You promise to pay your son, grab your back brace, pack ice packs, Voltaren & knee brace for the hubby, thank Gary for the ton of Gatorade & water in the cooler and GO! approx 300 bales in four trips. Tomorrow we add two more girls and food to the list!
On our first trip back with a load of hay, we find Lucera enjoying her new surroundings. When she's had some time to get used to her new home, she'll be able to come and go from that stall depending entirely on her mood! Gorgeous grey Andalusian, Lucera is joyously owned by Janet Manuel who is excited for her first beach ride.

Update: The next day we put up another batch of hay with Team Two: Gary, Ernest, Tyler, Marie, Nicole and myself. Yesterday was 302, today was 407 bales. We had a hard working, hard playing day in perfect hay weather complete with breeze!
2nd Update: Even though Janet & Lucera have only just joined us, Janet brought hubby Rick & they pitched in with haying on July 7th. They helped us put up another 300 bales! That's 1000 so far, only 800 to go. With two trucks that will just be four easy trips of 100 bales each trip. Thanks for joining in, Janet & Rick!
And finally, from ACTRA friend April, we've borrowed a wonderful older Morgan named Baily. She has around 2500 ACTRA miles so she knows what she's doing and will be a great friend/teacher for Marie, Nicole & I for the summer. Here they are on their first "double" ride, pic taken by me while riding Willow.
