Please let me explain why it took so long to get back to your mail/request for friend.
We had a baby Sept 6, had an arena built in Aug, but started getting ready for in in April, then the rains came!
We built new stalls, but first had to go purchase the sawmill lumber, run it through the planer, drill the holes and so board by board we went... slowly.
My husband- my hero- is a retired shrink, not a carpenter, well he wasn't but he'll pass for one now, built stalls and walls and doors,
I love these creatures that give us so much pleasure, take all our money and time and give me the best reason to get up early and go to the barn before bedtime, for one last bit of hay.
We have been working for 8+ years to get to where we are, and still have more to do.
I will talk with you again, right now I'm going riding- in my new arena. Can
t believe it yet!
ps,
my riding instructor is our age too!
