Wilbur, Hay Dude and Champy moved into the new barn couple of weeks ago. I'm still doing some finishing touches on the stalls. Gosh, building those stalls was hard work. I used rough sawn oak and those darn boards are heavy! I've never built stalls before. They're not real fancy, but they are safe and secure. I'm so glad to have this ready before winter sets in.
Anyhow, here are a few pictures.
This is looking down the aisle through my temporary handy dandy cattle panel gate that separates the horse side of the barn from the work shop/storage area. I have interlocking rubber mats in the stalls as well as the aisle on the horse side of the barn.
Here's another view of the two stalls on the left which are identical to the stalls on the right.
This is the new fencing and dry lot area. I know most people wouldn't have used chain link fencing, but it ties into the fencing around the dogs' yard in the background and I wanted to be sure none of the dogs could stick their heads through it. Beyond that they have a couple of acres for grazing which is contained with farm fence.
This is the "people entrance" which is inaccessible to the horses.
This is a happy little guy!
