Construction of Second Barn!
We are so proud of our new barns.  After getting by with a 100-plus year old barn and several out buildings since our beginning in 1991, we are eternally grateful to all that made this dream possible.   The second barn houses 25 horses and we were able to demolish the 100-year-old barn that was too dilapidated to repair again.  The electricity finally had finally gone out and the a terrible windstorm blew another section off of the roof of our old barn.
  
There have been more calls about starving horses due to the previous year's drought and the current economy.  Some horses that we had placed into homes have returned and we currently have 50 residents to house and feed.
The second barn is 70' by 72' and contains 26 stalls.  It also has rubber mat flooring and shutters for all around are currently being fabricated.  Garage doors allow the horses entry from two sides of the barn.


Walls are going up!
