"Pain?", Jonah asks, "How is there pain in progress?" With a sigh I have to explain to him that the pain in progress is saying goodbye to some of the horses on the farm. He turns to me and asks "Like Daisy?," I just nod, being close to tears I was afraid to answer. She had become increasingly difficult to settle in foal despite being fairly young at 15. We have a daughter to replace her in the breeding shed, the question is when we retire Delia. She is already 8, our Spotted Saddle horse colt is just a suckling and there are very few options as far as stallions go. There is a list on my desk next to my monitor of the Azteca boys, in the order they will be placed for sale or gelded.
The joy of progress lies in the future. Jonah is helping with training and exercising everyday. We have some lovely foals through 4 year olds that we are working with. The four year olds are preparing for the show ring for the first time. Once they start showing I'll be bringing back around the 5 and 6 year olds that have been exercising and teach them some show-ring basics.
