Ranch Work...

Ranch work…well, that’s a looong story! We work all the time around here and we keep making it all better for y’all to come on out! People marvel at how we are always up to some sorta work around here. Yessiree…guilty as charged!

In fact, it’s been so busy around here that I’ve not had a chance to update my blog. So, sit back and see what we’ve been up to! We had a lot of barbed wire fencing around here with rusted field fence and we replaced it with wood poles and stable fencing. Here is Babe as I'm trying to get a picture of the fencing...we'll say howdy to her first! Her ears are back because I just told her to move...she thought I was going to take a picture of her!  

Sorry, Babe...but the blog post is about fencing. I'll do more on you later...maybe with all the kids you love and teach! Btw...Babe is a papered Arabian and her papered name is Bathsheba! There ya go Babe...doing you a little justice!

Okay...so here is a nice view of the fencing...sorry Babe...without you in it! 

We found some great stain that we used on the fence posts that we really love. It gives it all a rustic look and besides, it matches the Railroad Ties and huge old poles that are probably over 50yrs. old that we decided to retain. You can see one of them right there by Babe.

As you can see, this place came with some very cheap gates that we’ve slowly been replacing them as we go. This is what happens to gates during "horse play" yes...a lot of kicking and wrangling of positions and opinions! We've taken out a good deal of barbed wire, field fence and T-posts.

 

We put in an extra big stock gate so we can fit our tractor and other equipment into the work arena and be able to start working on our full sized arena.
