A Barn of our Own - 2 (Prospect #1)

I didn’t think I would write a second post of this so soon.  But guess what, fate just stepped in, or has it? 

Our family friend is working on a house through a Realtor, that was foreclosed and needs to be fixed up to be up to code I guess?  This house has 1.5 acres and has a nice sized newly built shop, a smaller, older 3 bedroom house.  There is not a barn, no horse amenities once-so-ever and is very in need of TLC.  It would be a fixer upper most definitely.  When I saw the property, I in-visioned the perfect area for a Dressage arena and a shed-row of 4 stalls or so.  It’s not a big piece of property, but for my brothers and dad the selling point is the nice new shop, with a studio on the second level.  The property is very over-grown, but my mom and I could take care of that.  I already have a green, cost-effective way of building an arena.  It could be a nice place once we fixed it up.  But this is all up in the air for now!  Did I mention it is like 1 minute from the current barn we keep the horses at?  Interesting, I would have never thought this place would be where it is.  Downside to the property, there would be no turn out space for horses if we built a small barn.

This evening we went over to the horses and gave grain.  It was chilly and windy, worse than yesterday.  To think just the other night we were outside enjoying the night with our shorts on.

    The weather here still sucks. It’s supposed to be spring but we’re still stuck in winter.

    The place sounds interesting but before you think 4 stalls, be sure that the codes there will even let you do that. Sometimes there are new codes that govern.

Every day a great horse is born and everyday a great horse is forgotten. With every hour, day and month spent in the presence of a great horse, we barrow the depths to our hearts and the keys to secret abiss. We are granted the oppurtunity to learn, view and share a gift with a special animal that lives in a special world, far from the travels of the beaten path, that is often over-looked.
Ink is a 2000 ex-racer gelding who this blog was started for and inspired by. It is written by his owner Keri and highlights his life through their work and their relationship with one very special Arabian mare.
Take a step with us.
