We have been crazy busy here trying to get our new foaling barn done before the mares needed it. Well its not totally done but is good enough to use. Since last year almost every mare foaled in the rain and even better if there was lightening and thunder so I came up with an idea for the new barn. With the help and good ideas of our builder Aldo we designed a new dog room for mommas and pups off the back of our house and a 2nd bathroom just for us. Any way we added a complete roofed over walkway from the back of the dog room down to the barn/feed room. And the walkway in front of the barn is roofed over too so let it rain, LOL. Its certainly not super plush like some farms stalls I have seen but its great for us. The solid wall is facing north where the little cold we get comes from. The rest is pretty open so we can see the mares from the house without disturbing them and we do have barn cams, 2 different sets as my expensive new cams are not working and equipage alarms to watch from inside too. So here it is, our new foaling barn.
I wanted the stall dividers to be see through so the cameras can "see" more as the mares seem to find places to hide in the stalls off camera. The feed room is to the right at the end of the the 4 stalls and has doors out the front and back. Besides the covered walkway, which the dogs can now use in even the worst weather and still not have to go out in the rain, there are 3 runs off the back of the house.
We are far from done with our renovations but out of money for now. This will be ongoing for years it looks like, oh well. New horses in next post before I kicked offline.
