CAITLANHERGRTNESS the filly wins the 165th King's Plate. Her Majesty must be smiling from above. This is the oldest continuous stakes race in North America. It was rescheduled due to horrible racing conditions last week. Today it was all about the filly beating the boys!

PRECIOUS update... Down to wearing a support bandage, Precious has been turned out after a week of stall rest. Her tendon is still sore, but she is weight-bearing and moving fairly well. She has been quiet in the paddock with just a couple of friends for company. She continues to improve.

This morning my kind neighbour who worked on the farm driveway last month, came in with a bountiful amount of tomatoes to share with the barn folk. It's wonderful to have good neighbours and community. *Pic of a young Hayley up on Precious. She was her beginner mount and now owns Libby.

CAPTURED at 3 Day Eventing, Zoey the red chestnut Thoroughbred mare I started here at Trillium as a 3 year old when I was still training horses, shines for the late Dr. Morrison's son, Trevor. Harry would be so proud. Photo credit to Teresa Finnerty who is a professional photographer and owned Morgan horses as well. (Permission given to use her photos.)

FIRST LESSON ... Georgia received several hugs from Breezy tonight. She will be back for more lessons. I think Breezy misses all the attention from her students. She's had a bit of a rest these past couple of months.

AN element of realism was felt last night, as the movie played out on the big screen to a darkened arena and stable. The rolling thunder of hooves and screams of whinnies coming from the loud speakers, where answered in kind by the stable residents. The popcorn machine popped away as we settled down to watch in our lounge chairs, as the rain fell outside. We did suffer a technical glitch near the end but for the most part, everyone enjoyed Movie Night at the Stable.

BUSTLING barn of horse groomers and helpers this morning! Joining us for the first time was Marianne. I recognized her. Probably was on the same show circuit as we were years ago. According to Lynette who invited her to join our senior volunteer group, said and I quote, "She was on cloud nine after." Our most senior senior Sheila was back again today, fluttering about thoroughly enjoying her time.

DUCKIES, Frick and Frack can have the occasional treat. Ducks are very social critters and our two pet ducks enjoy their swims and waddle around the aisle. Please ask before you feed. We don't want them having too many. If so inclined to bring duck treats, here is a guide to what is good and not good for ducks to have. Alternatively, you can feed them dandelions, clover. If you want to bring lettuce, only Romaine lettuce please (no iceberg lettuce.)

NOT a parking space to be had this morning with all the seniors and visitors attending to help get the chores done before haying this afternoon. Unfortunately, the hay is not dry enough for baling today so everything is on hold for tomorrow. Let's pray it doesn't rain before we get it in!

WE had a young visitor today from Germany. What a great opportunity for her to travel to Canada and spend some time with Grandma. The long-ago copy of Phar Lap I have, was lent to them to view. It is in German so she was delighted to be able to watch the movie in her first language. Grandma asked her to read out the cover writeup in German which she did.

GOOFY Bob decided to show off as he waited for the outdoor work arena to be cleared so he could cut the grass. I think he was a little wound up for too long riding that thing and just kept spinning in circles.

Delivery

BRENDAN directs the delivery guy this morning during the pouring rain. We had to unload our very expensive order of wood pellets into the arena which was also flooding. At least they sit on pallets and were placed in the only dry area left. Although the shed was dry where they are normally stored, a rain river ran fast an furious by it causing the machine to sink pretty deep. What a morning!

MONSOON

AND the monsoon rain falls and continues to fall. The barn and arena have flooded. Had to move Whisper to dryer headquarters. Unbelievable rain with lightning and thunder. It is still raining 3 hours later. (sound on for full effect)
