Belle is shown visiting as she settles into the new barn. This is the loafing area, which they share for snoozing in the sun or sheltering for inclement weather. There is a bucket of loose free choice Buckeye Grass Plus mineral on the wall, alongside it is an iodized salt lick. The footing in the area outside the barn and the run-in area is pea gravel, the BEST footing for high performance barefoot trimming - it massages and toughens the feet and has been shown to be chosen by lamanitic horses in research work by Dr. Bowker (U of Michigan) and Pete Ramey (www.hoofrehab.com)
Bob gave the stalls a "ranchy" look by putting elbow braces on the stalls and installing the nameplates. Princess's stall remains to be built. Note the snow coming down!
