Horse-y Hilton

This is an interior shot of our little horse barn. It's a very misleading barn as from the outside, it appears about half the size it really is. Bob did a bangup job of tearing up the floor and finishing the walls so that there are no edges or nails to get cut on. (Note the "handle with care" graffitti!) The addition of the chandelier was my touch!
Crispin has downright luxurious and commodious acommodations, seeing as he was living in a herd of seven or eight mixed ponies and horses with a run in shed and round bales of hay to squabble over. I was so afraid that he'd miss his pals.  But instead, I think he's sighing an equine sigh of relief. He seems so relaxed and nonchalant. Who knew? Maybe he wanted a home like this forever...

From the outside, we erected a windbreak as the barn was positioned with the doorway to the north. We wanted Crispin to have 24/7 access so that he can stroll out at midnight and enjoy the full moon and a nightcap of hay and water, but still have protection from the wind. It seems to work just fine and he is savoring his freedom.

The electric fence seem to be working fine. Don't get me going on how complicated that was! Ten minutes before the horse was delivered, Bob and I were still not sure whether we had it rigged right. But no escapees means it's working, and Crispin doesn't seem to mind his incarceration in a glamourous prison system!
