Barn Tour

Dad and Joyce are attending a horse show in Arizona this week.  Therefore, I've got ranch duty... It's not what you think; it's a pretty cushy job.  Take for instance the barn... I've heard people say "I could happily live it that barn!". I agree, the barn dwellers are a happy bunch!

The stalls are all occupied; though Dad only has one horse in this barn at the moment... making that job a breeze.  The rest of the barn is leased, and takes care of itself.

Come on in; I'll show you around:

The tack room

more tack


shower stall


grooming stall


wash room and unfinished stable office


Most horses get hay pellets, but there's an area for hay.


upper storage for buggies


indoor riding arena


 
Here she is; my charge (Fontina).


mmmmm grain!


She's got hay, grain, water, clean bedding, warm coat... happy horse!


And now for the neighbors:


Bye guys!  See you at noon!


Now for some snow shoveling and wood splitting... it finally stopped snowing!

Have a great day!

    I have worked in quite a few horse barns in my time, and that is one nice barn. It is so clean, which is sometimes difficult when you lease. I could see how you could 'live' in that barn.

    I have been in a few barns, but never one that nice. I could easily live there! And an indoor riding facility, too! Quite a wonderful place. Have fun with those lovely horses.

    Uh, could you send the wash stall my way? My boys are in desperate need of a wash, shave and hair cut!
    Beautiful barn - thanks for the tour!
