Show Me Your Barn Blog Hop

Since I have been uninspired since my New Year's Day post, thought this would be fun.  Joining in on the Show Me Your Barn Blog Hop!

View Of The Barn


Here is the barn where Riva is stalled.  Cheers is pasture boarded.  Nice large airy barn with wide aisle way - has 3 sets of cross ties down the center.  Riva is the 2nd stall on the right as you enter the front of the barn.

Your Horse's Living Space

Riva's stall - has a large blanket bar to the side, a hook for her halter and lead rope.  I like the door to the stall - good for air flow in the summer.  Nice and roomy and she can see everything that is going on.

The Tack Room

Functional  for storing our saddles and bridles. We have our full size wood tack trunk in front of Riva' stall. There is a bathroom behind the tack room and a kitchen.

View of Where You Ride

Indoor arena is 20 x 40 with dressage cones left set up.  The indoor was completed just before we moved here and lighting was just added in December.  I normally have this all to myself - just one other dressage rider at our barn.

Outdoor is huge and there are jumps for anyone to use.  You can also ride anywhere on the property you want, including in the turn out pastures.  

Your Favorite Feature of the Facility


Would be that you can have any trainer come out and give lessons - that would be my daughter for me :)  I like the variety of horses and people at our barn - the owners are Reiners, several event riders, trail and Western Pleasure riders.  Most people here do not ride in the Winter and it is quiet. Riva and Cheers are very comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for here.

I'm catching up on things I saved for later. :) Your barn is beautiful! I love full-grate stall doors like that. Anything you can do for more air movement in a barn is a good thing.
