Quest is getting more used to the idea that he has to earn his keep since Charm and Lady are on the mend. Maureen took him out again for a short session on the farm road into the woods and he did great being all by himself with no other playmates in sight. Maureen was feeling confident enough to even let him have a bit of a trot. I sure do wish it was me up there. He (and Maureen) looked fabulous at the trot. All his training is coming back (I don't think he forgot, just got complacent) and he is turning out to be a great ride. Someday I may venture up on him once we know he is safe. In case your wondering why Maureen is up there and not someone else, Quest is Maureen's boy. He will do just about anything for her and draws confidence from her. So Maureen is doing all the work first and in time, he will be as good as Lady and Rupert ever was!!
News about Daisy... I wish we had some to tell. She was due to calf today and still no sign of a nose or feet! We keep watching the signs and its "any day now..."
As soon as the calf is on the ground we will post some pics.
Time for dinner and a glass of my "Rocket Fuel" as its known. Its harvest time from the orchard and preparation for wine making is in full swing. Bartlett pears are harvested and almost all of the late summer apples. Ummmm apple and pear wine are in the buckets brewing. Just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Take care, stay safe..
