The Main Barn is T Shaped
with somewhere in the neighborhood of 40+ stalls.
I
had to restart my count several times -- I'm easily distracted!!
Inside, we (I had
my hubbie with me) took a quick unescorted tour.
I
didn't look in every stall but most had pads, shavings, a hay rack,
feed tub, and the standard water bucket(s).
The photo -- below right -- shows the individual (hay?) lockers.
I'd love to know the story behind the three framed photos of President Reagan
that are hanging along the aisle near the office.
Outside, a series of red covered sheds dot the facility.
Each shed has an attached paddock with a horse or two in it.
A brand
new shed along with the piles of lumber brought a smile to my face.
I always get a charge out of seeing improvements at our Stables on Military Installations!!
This is a self-help
facility so that means members
are volunteering their
time to make these improvements
and that speaks volumes
about their level of commitment. (Thank you!!)
Two
Lighted Outdoor Arenas are used for Horse Shows and Schooling.
One in the pictures above and the other in the pictures below.
And -
yes - that is a Round Pen pictured below right.
A
cute clubhouse with a storage area nearby. Hay can be found behind the neatly hung tarps.
OK
-- don't laugh at the photo below!
I currently live in the South and it just tickled my
fancy to find this 'Double-Wide' Manure Ramp!!
The
ramp gives you the option of dumping to the left or the right.
It's definitely the Grand Daddy of them all!! :)
In
the vicinity of the Rock-Star Manure Ramp and near the Club House,
I found this old trailer parked beside a little Quanset Hut housing shavings.
I'm a geek for old things and I totally love this trailer!!
I can just picture it converted into a cool kid clubhouse. :)
