And the outside of the stable not long after we built a feed shed and attatched it to stable, next summer I,m having another stable attatched to the other side for my shettie.
 
Dont have any stable pics on photobucket- and I'm at work....

But I can take some photos of the nicely painted yet [****] stained walls this evening. Cant understand it myself- you'd think he'd want to look after his bedroom. He also poo's on the floor......how disgusting.

That's because the spiders fall in your hair and then scuttle down your neck!

I was going to take a photo this morning and put it up because if anyone wants to come and do their thing with the barn they are welcome to...at their expense of course, there is only 2100 sq foot of concrete to lay first for a start. It is so cold that my camera refused to function

So, here's an old one when we first tidied up and painted a bit.

This one will get someone going, check out the pony gate. That, by the way, is quite normal in a lot of barns I have seen, although it would have been hung higher for the standardbreds.

Henmeister, show off

This is what every single stall looked like when we moved in over three years ago. (and one or two STILL do because we will have to dismantle them to get the contents out, there is a cast iron range in one and half a tractor

in another! )

I wish I had a photo of this, but unfortunately I don't so picture this yard in Spain:

The stable was tiled (on the inside) to about 3/4s of the way up the wall in white tiles, with a 'feature' tile in a different design towards the top and there were framed photos of the horse competing on the top half of the wall - I kid you not!!! (yes it was a stable and not a tack room!)

OMG I don't know what to do. I've only just really looked at my yard properly, and I am so ashamed. I see the view, the horsewalker, the hand built oak framed stables, the fully rubber lined stables, the free range chickens and pigs (yes that is a pile of pigs behind the silly grey), the deep beds, the lack of cobwebs, an all I can say is WHY OR WHY DID MY DAD HAVE TO BE A FARMER? I'm distraught.

This is H in her stable at home when she'd just moved into it - as you can see she was very happy!

Ha ha! No unfortunately they just provide the dirty stuff, and I spend my time washing it - or unclogging the filter! With 7 horses I couldn't live without it, I buy cheap used ones and don't worry when they die!
 
No pics available but I bet our stables would horrify those who have 'posh' stables

Ours are in a converted workshop, you have to go through one to get to another!

The inner walls are made of marine ply (double sided on a timber frame) The horses can lean over the walls and touch each other! The roof is not as high as some wouls like, however we have been here for 15 years and managed to keep our oldies in these stables to the great ages of over 40, 33, 25 and currently 27ish. Admittedly the other two we have are only in their teens but hopefully the poor standard of their accomodation will not leqd to their early demise.

Oh snd never seen a paint brush and the floors are beaten earth.

They go in through the door. FB goes straight on and 16.hh Ari has to do a 45 degree turn, walk up a ramp and then turn left into his stable (where MoM is in the photo).

Please excuse the state of MoM - she is 22 yo and had just arrived from Andalucia in March last year - not looking her best.
