Barn Work

Working around the barn is hard work. Stalls need to be cleaned, hay needs to be stacked, wheelbarrows need to be dumped and grain needs to be refilled. It all takes time and a heck of a lot of effort. But it can be fun. The satisfaction of knowing you are getting something done can be so rewarding.

It's great to know that everyday we're making these horses happy and comfortable. I think it shows in their performance. We have an arabian mare who's almost thirty and thinks she twelve.  She's one of the happiest horses i've every seen, and we at the barn respect that. She's a little slower than she used to be, and her grain is as soggy as old cereal, but we love her. Hopefully she'll be with us many a year to come.  But she's just one of the reasons why we put so much effort into these guys.  At our farm we're all a family, and we do everything we can to keep our "kids" happy.  That's how it is, the barn family has 19 kids right now.  It may seem like too much to handle, but it's definately worth it.  We love these guys with all our hearts and I know that almost every one of us would be more than happy to do whatever it takes to keep them strong and healthy.  Family comes first here, and it always will.
