We're neck deep in monsoon season right now and can usually count on daily afternoon rain showers. Sometimes it rains buckets and other times just sprinkles. And sometimes it just thunders and lightnings like crazy for an hour or more.<BR/><BR/>All our woolies head to the barn every afternoon, like clockwork to get out of the storms. haha!Laughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-30477866793747578892008-07-08T23:30:00.000-07:002008-07-08T23:30:00.000-07:00Thanks for the terrific 'barn/tack room' tour.

Everything looks so well organized even though it's not kept in an official fancy barn. <BR/>What's best about it all is that you can tell that it's all useful stuff and is used. That's what's most important, right?<BR/><BR/>I noticed that you've got something red/white/black in a plastic bag in the tack area. Looks alot like my bareback saddlepad. Is it?<BR/>I just bought mine from Chicks and have yet to use it. I'd love to read a tack review from you about it. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh! And that big blue tack trunk? It's scaring me a little. Looks more like a coffin with a vampire tucked inside! haha There goes my odd imagination again.<BR/><BR/>SO, really, though, what's inside that thing?Laughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-31760320400700572742008-07-08T11:57:00.000-07:002008-07-08T11:57:00.000-07:00Great shots!

I have done it at all levels, from having horses in an old barn built in 1790 to just a corral/water tank and no cover (in NM). My husband and I will leave AK in a couple of years and plan to go, we think, to eastern OR -- we hope. I have already sketched out my dream barn. Far more important than the house! We'll see where we end up (maybe just tidy run-in sheds and good fencing on our 47 acres?). But, I did the smart thing -- I married a talented builder and union carpenter!!! Something to look for in a man, Pony Girl, is good carpentry skills. You should see the dog kennel he built for my dogs!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-11085922480212699952008-07-08T10:15:00.000-07:002008-07-08T10:15:00.000-07:00Morgan is lovely :) She is obviously very good at ...Morgan is lovely :) She is obviously very good at her job.<BR/><BR/>We are getting our barn built this year, but it all takes time with planners and architects.....

I do like my barn though, nothing fancy but it does have automatic waterers, ceiling fans for the boys and lots of room. We put all our shavings and bales of hay in the loft with a conveyor which makes it nice and then there is an opening over each stall that we open and throw the bales of shavings down when we need more. We don't have a barn cat we have a barn raccoon! She has lived up there for ages with her three babies. She comes by each night for something to eat!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-24077725546565848442008-07-08T09:49:00.000-07:002008-07-08T09:49:00.000-07:00I should have added a picture of the saddle stand ...I should have added a picture of the saddle stand and extra saddle pad (for show, since I've shown once in a year and half, LOL!) that is in my apartment. Some friends came to pick me up for dinner once and were like, what is that? I also take my bridles home in the winter, because I ride less and although the garage is fairly well-insulted, some things do start to get damp.<BR/><BR/>Grey Horse-I do agree, I think the horses enjoy being outside and having the option of going under cover. Physically, My Boy would not do well stalled. He was stalled part of the time I leased him and his hind fetlocks stocked up pretty bad because they did not have turnout and I could not get up to ride him every day.Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-31069894262265324402008-07-08T08:40:00.000-07:002008-07-08T08:40:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention that our saddles and headstall...I forgot to mention that our saddles and headstalls are kept in the house in the LIVING ROOM! We have some extra room that really doesn't work for anything, too small for a dining table so my daughter and I keep our saddles there. I wouldn't mind keeping them in the tack room at all but I would hate to have to replace my saddle if someone were to walk away with it.

Thank you for visiting my new blog. ...Hi Pony Girl! Thank you for visiting my new blog. I found yours through Fulgy Horse of the Day, then Saving Argus, then Sunny in SD...it's funny how us horse folks are all linked. :) I love your pony - he is a beauty! As far as the barn, I'm planning to blog about ours soon...it is a work in progress, going on for 5 years now....my hubby is in no hurry and is not a horse person...He's trying to come around though. You are lucky to have family involved in horses. I'd love for my Mom to ride, but we need to get her something taller and calmer than Tonto or Filly. Hopefully one day.<BR/>Thanks again for stopping by - it is so nice to know I share the horse disease, sickness, obsession, affliction...or whatever you want to call it...with so many other women. I'll be back to visit again soon!buckponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856143564768689766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-6131950632754523132008-07-08T08:03:00.000-07:002008-07-08T08:03:00.000-07:00Nice barn!

We have a old small barn that I keep feed, hay, etc. in the pasture. And of course I have tack all through the house! No house would be complete without it! <BR/>Hubby is also concerned about the obstacle course I am sitting up in the pasture! He is like when I mow again, you are going to have a time moving all this stuff! LOL! Will have to take pictures and post one day!<BR/><BR/>Hubby jokes I would have the horses in the house if I could!

That's not so bad though, for a while they decorated - quite nicely, I thought - the living room in of my apartment.<BR/><BR/>Some day I will have a barn with a nice tack room.

He had never constructed anything in his life. I think he did a darned good job. I have some pictures somewhere but I think it would be best and easier to take new ones. Both sides are now filled w/square bales of hay. <BR/><BR/>When he first built it and I had my first horse I would feed him and sit on the hay bales beside him for hours on end and just watch him and 'smell' him. Everyone that loves horses knows what I am talking about. My husband would come to the barn to check on me, assuming at first, that something had happened. He quickly learned that I would rather be with my new horse and all the horsey things more than anything in the world. I remember him saying "I have never seen this side of you." It was true, I had not had it for 30 years. I am truly grateful to have it now and forever.Trailbosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560979016510119034noreply@blogger.com
