Horse Shade

 

 

We built a new home for the horses in 2009 / 2010.

The facility consists of three covered 12' x 12' stalls, one 12' x 24' stall, one 16' x 24' stall

and a 12' x 12' storage area.

Each stall is complete with automatic waterer and lights.

Below are some pictures.

We built up the stalls 6 inches above

ground level to prevent water flooding.

We installed the permanent panels and

gates for the three west stalls.

Chris got to use the new paint sprayer!

The stalls turned out great.

Ruby and Panda will continue to have

the moveable panels.

Each stall now has lights.

We even put in some outlets so the

horses could plug in their iPods and Laptops.

No twitter accounts yet though!

Just a little painting left to do.

Looks like Kitt's food is ready to go.
