Weanlings officially weaned

Here are a few pictures of our 2009 colt crop. These pictures were taken on 10-17 after we got them weaned and down the road to Dan's place. After we got the gate shut behind Dan and made sure the mares were ok, we headed down to his place to help get the little ones off the trailer but when we pulled in the weanlings were already in the round pen! It looks pretty neat when you drive by and see all the colors in the yard, we have red roan, red duns, buckskin, and we still haven't decided the color of Lena's! We have the registration papers sent off on Cane, Drifter, Royal, and Smokey's babies but we haven't got them back yet.

Weaning day at Windy Creek Qtr Horses

Saturday, October 17th, we got the 2009 babies weaned. It went so fast that I didn't get many pictures, well that and the fact that it was a muddy mess that I just stayed by the gate! Here are some of the mares and Shaq (behind Cane by the pickup/trailer). The ones pictured here are Royal, Smokey, Cane, and Shaq. Everyone of them young and old look pretty scruffy thanks to our muddy conditions and getting ready for winter.

The young ones

The other day I tried to get some new pictures of our young horses - weanlings and up but the sloppy conditions prevented me from getting more than I did. It has been pretty wet here lately, yesterday when I opened the gates for my brother Dan to bring bales for the two yards I thought I was going to walk out of my boots! Other than the mud on them though. they are all doing great and looking good. Just a reminder, the weanlings, yearlings, and our two year old gelding Twister are still for sale, $3oo each, your choice. If you are seeing this and know of someone looking for really nice, young quarter horses, please tell them about us.
