Happily reporting...

Hello to everyone,

So sorry to have taken such a long break from posting, but the projects remaining several weeks ago seemed so overwhelming that I could not tolerate taking any pictures. All I could see was what was NOT finished, but I know all of you wanted to see what WAS finished. So, I chose the selfish and psyche-preserving road and did not document! However, significant projects have been finished now and I feel much better about publishing now.

Here are three views very similar to the pictures in the last post

These pictures were all taken Tuesday morning. The arena has since been compacted and watered. The sand and rubber are ready for installation once the gravel base layer is deemed "perfect".

The grooming stations are framed in with the exception of one wall that must get a partial wall between the wash stall and the grooming stalls. The will have rubber mats on them and lights.

The stalls are completely finished and only need lights over them and gravel in the walkways.

Here is the princess in the tackroom, which is mostly finished. There are a few more panels to purchase and hang, and then we will be ready for saddle racks.

As you can see, things are moving along. We are planning a simple Open House on Sunday, June 1 from 1-4 pm. This is simply a walk through and see it kind of deal and everyone is invited. Please invite any friends or family that may be interested. For all of my students---- please plan on joining us for most of the afternoon. I am asking that you all play host to the people you invite and show of your new barn!! I will be sending out some invitations, and if anyone needs directions please email me. See you soon!!
