Friday's Horses and Around The Farm

Today we look at horses and riders from our old farm, on the obstacle course and around the barn. No text.

Around The Farm ~ In And Outside The Barn
Future tack room.


Looking back out to the main aisle.

Tools of a gal's trade.

Photo-shoot-supervisor, slurping. Nothin' like a mud puddle
to quench one's thirst . . .

The barn is now electrified.

Laurie's been adding dirt to build up stall bottoms.


Flooring will consist of mats, like these.

Dinner time for two "starving" horsies.
Laurie packs each bale into a hay net, which acts as a slow feeder, making
horses take smaller bites. Prevents overeating.



Hay nets are supposed to be better for horses, though Pete and Maddie
might disagree.

Thank You for stopping by. See you later.

Electricity in the barn, Yay!

I had to laugh at Shadow slurping from a mud puddle. I’ve seen Sophie do that, too. Dogs ……
