| Our Horses |
| Just completed our horse barn and fenced in their pasture. Here are some pics of the construction. We are so pleased with the job done. Went up very quickly! The guys were amazing! Thank you Terry Schmidt and Steve! You guys are incredible! |
| This is what the barn looked like before it was worked on................ |
| Day 2 - they had pulled down one wall of the barn, and had stalls up with removeable walls in between |
| This is a view of the front of the stalls from inside the barn. The horses enter from outside, where we feed them from the inside. The rest of the barn (about 1/2) will be for hay, feed, tack room |
| Day 1 of fencing, all the posts are up |
| View from barn to house |

| NOW.........The Goat Area |
| DAY1: Posts are going up. It will be "L"shaped. We have it situated between the horses and dogs to deter coyotes and other predators, and close to the house. The first pic is the short part of the "L" which comes up close to the deck. This is where they will be at night. |
| This section of the long part of the "L" will be for grazing in the daytime...... 40' Wide x 60' in length |
| We are going to attempt goat farming. We want to have a small herd of mini-nubians, for their goats milk.. They are nice and small with the cutest floppy ears, but produce quite a bit of milk despite their size! We have located a breeder in Kansas City, MO |
