Home on the range



I should've done this back at the beginning ... some shots of the barn, our ponies' home. For the first picture, I stood in the grassy "aisle" between the two outdoor rings and the two stallion paddocks. The fields are to the right. That's the indoor arena straight ahead, with the barn attached to the left. It's definitely a nice facility and I'm very appreciative of all that we have there. I'm still amazed at the quality and lushness of the grass in the open areas (where no one is turned out and where we continue to hand graze until the snow starts staying around). The shot of the fields shows the morning turnout group happily grazing. They're usually out from about 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The afternoon crowd heads out from 11:30 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m. The grass is looking pretty sparse in the fields at this time of the year, but they're definitely happy to be out regardless.
