First of all, here's that big sycamore tree I was telling you about. The low building on the right is my house and the one in the middle is the garage. Anyone care to guess how tall that tree is?
Nancy wanted to see more pictures of the infamous pole barn, so I took a few yesterday morning after the farrier visited to trim the horses' hooves. It's something you have to do about every six weeks or so to keep their feet in good shape. That's Kes on the right and Jadzia on the left.
Here's another shot showing the center aisle.
Here's another pic of Kes, who is a 13 yr old Quarter Horse/Paint cross. I bought her from my sister as a yearling.
That's another pic of Kes getting a drink while Peaches is looking for pieces of horse hoof to chew on. I've never had a dog yet that didn't love them!
This is Kira, a 16 yr old Shire/Thoroughbred cross. You can see into the tack room in the first pic.
The next two are of Jadzia, who is 11 years old and was Kira's first baby. Her sire was a Quarter horse.
This is where I keep my hay. I used to keep it in a stall and had to put a tarp over it to keep the condensation from dripping on it, but when I had the barn worked on a few years back, I had the main floor concreted and the roof over this area insulated. It's so much easier to stack the hay and there's a lot more room, too. I don't need quite as much now that I'm down to three horses, but that's the 125 bales of hay that I bought from Neighbor Paula, which is enough to get three chubby horses through the winter if fed judiciously. It smells really good, too! Can you see Kitty Cat up on top?
You all keep teasing me about the hunks I have hiding in the barn, but Black Cat is the only male of any species that ever comes around.
Now wait just a doggone minute! Where in the world did he come from?
