We brought home three mares:
- AuSome Gitana, brown Paso Creole mare by our Spanish stallion Ramirez and out of the Paso Fino mare RN's Carinita
- AuSome Guardaraya, brown/roan Paso Creole mare by our Spanish stallion Ramirez and out of the Paso Fino mare AuSome First Lady
- AuSome Esperanza, bay/brown Paso Fino mare by Don Cristobal Mako out of RN's Carinita
Esperanza had been with us for starting in late 2007, but the last time I saw and handled the other two mares was when they were weanlings, some time in early 2006. They have been running in a large mob since then and only been brought in for routine health care.

The question on how to load three mares, two of which hadn't been handled much, I anwered as usual: it's simple, you open float, put in horses and close float :-) And that's how it went. Ten minutes had all three loaded and from then they stood like angels all the way home. Oh yes, the float was a mess, and needed washing out. But we got home in good time, well before dark and had time to unload quietly and settle them in for the night.
The photo is by Yvonne. She took several more photos of the mares in the yards and being loaded.
