Life as a Horse at 585 Ash Street
This is our barn it was just built a few years ago...

We have a two stall barn-each stall is 12'x12' and
is finished planed red oak.
Nice to look at but it isn't the type that is good to chew on.
Come on in if you want. Each stall has its own window and dutchdoor to the outside.

In the tack room there are spots for three english
saddles and two western saddles and for all the other stuff and the feed
as well.
There is enough room for a couple of months hay...
depending on how hungry we are.
The hay storage area is 8'x10' and so is the tack room.

The arena is where we hang out at and roll out our
itchy spots. Sometimes we also get ridden here.
There are RxR ties set in the ground to show us where the arena edges
are. The arena is a full
20 meters across and 60 meters long so we could school 3rd or 4th level
dressage, if we really felt up to it.
Phantom used to do that stuff so they added some woodchip to the sand.
If the sun is too hot or the bugs are bad we hang
out in the lean-to. It sits next to the
arena and provides good shade. The back of the lean-to is where the jumps are stored.

What we like to do most is graze,
after that we take a sunbathe...it makes for a full day...try it sometime!

The pasture is also good to ride in.
There are some areas that are good to graze and other areas that are pretty shady.
The dog also enjoys a good romp every day. There are tons of turkeys in the pasture as well as owls, pheasant, bunnies and coyotes.
There are paths that we can be ran on
that also are good to lead the pony
around on.
There are several cross country jumps
built from 1'6" to 3'.
The soil is all sand so we never bruise our hooves on rocks and it never gets muddy.
