2007 Projects
There is always something to repair, replace or add on a horse farm.
- Last year we replaced the electric tape fence that surrounded the paddocks with oak board fencing.
- We also rennovated the paddocks to "all-weather" footing - no more mud!
- We built more storage bins for composting our manure. (Which there is a lot more of since we must pick the paddocks everyday.)
- We are building new windows for the doors in the west barn. Larry has one set finished as you can see in the photo to the left.

Horses
In May
of last year I lost my wonderful mare, Dani (MoonDancing) to colic. It
was a horrible, heartwrenching occurrence that I hope never to go through
again.
But in her place I have found an equally wonderful, even more talented, mare named Fiona. Fiona
seems to be "channeling" Dani as she was right at home here from the moment she stepped off the trailer.
Cats & Dogs
The newest member of the Rodent Control Team is "Makeda." She appeared in the barn yard on the 4th of July. She was only about 4 weeks old, very frightened, and very skinny. She also has settled in well.
The dogs, Norton and Bandit, are another year older. Which makes them 11 now.
