June 17, 2007 - What a great Father's Day present. Bob - he can fix anything! A necessity on the farm. Even the dogs like to ride.

May 2007, clay was added to the alley way and around the hay feeders. 
Big machine. Scooping the clay up to be moved. The clay will be packed around the hay bunks.

Napping after a full moon ride and posing for the camera.
Moonlight riding can be hard on you. Patti and Gus You've got to be kidding - cleaning where?
Mark has been boarding with us for 10 years. Holly and Patti have been with us for over 5 years. Mark and Leslie relaxing.

Our boarders help clear the trails.
Using a tree saw to cut away the eye pokers. Using a hand saw that is carried on horseback to clear the trail. Got to have good horses to clear trails.
Step up Our boarders love this! Definitely works for me.
The step up was built by Bob Lance, 816-616-5884. We appreciate the step up. Great way to get on my horse.

We put up our own hay.

 A wooded setting. We fertilize yearly!
All hay ground is fertilized.

Clearing more ground.

 We do not overgraze our pastures. The herd is rotated.
How about a picnic? Saddle up. Where we going?

Taking a break.

Are you ready yet?

Follow me.
Swimming Are you sure about this? Kind of deep, don't ya think?
Let's go swimming!

Do you really want me to go in there?

 Hang on!

Winter Chores

Getting ready to feed.

Splitting the bale.

Filling the hay bunk.
Getting ready to feed.

The big bales are split and fed into the bunks.

The hay bunks were built by George. We do feed some hay on the ground; however, during wet weather, this is where the herd eats.
Removing the string. This is tricky. Chowing down.
How many boarding facilities remove the string? We would not recommend this to everyone. Eating healthy.
Hay storage Hay bunks Winter riding
Most of the hay is stored inside.

Hay is fed 1 to 3 times per day.

 Many of our boarders ride all year.

We are easy to find.       CheckOutThePastures.gif (4514 bytes)
