Mago is shown at his temporary home, but he would rather play than hear that we are working on his permanent home. That said, now that he has "natural horsekeeping", he does not use the barn much. He and the three "girls" have a combination of 24/7 outdoor living with pea gravel loafing areas, barefoot hoof trimming methods and mixed pasture, rock and trees for a paddock along with a run-in shelter. They rarely use the shelter in winter, preferring snow and blizzard outside..... however they do use it often in the summer to get out of the sun, plus to escape driving rain and sleet. Since he was "rescue", I had a horse chiropractor look at him a couple of days ago to be sure he is ready to go under saddle. He does not mind it being put on or me riding him for short periods, but I wanted to be sure he did not have any muscular/skeletal pain issues. He has a clean bill of health (with a few preferred massage spots)... so is ready to GO! Will make more time for him but keep at the log house project.
