My guys have to share, I just have a little barn that isn't big enough to split into individual stables

These are my stables, full of cobwebs, breeze block and flaky paint!

And the farmer was good enough to let me cut a hole inbetween the stables so they could see each other. I couldnt cut the pipe above his head as if i move i need to replace the wall and its structural but it doesnt cause any problems at all. Heres Ty looking into Inky's stable

It was a Secret Santa present from HHO!! A couple of years ago - and I never did discover who the superstar was who sent it to me!
If I could find out who it was, I would thank them! I use it every day

And to think I have hated having new stables and spent the last 5 years desperately trying to acquire cobwebs

Ooo ChicoMio I love the stone walling in there - looks like a wine cellar! There's something really nice about the light too.

Thank you! That barn had been bricked up for fifteen years, we had to get into it and renovate it in four weeks as that was all the notice we had that the horses were arriving from Andalucia

If you want the full horror:

And that doesn't show the fact that it sloped violently and one end of it was under about 5ft of wood and brush, used for the bread oven. We actually found a bullock cart in pieces (rotten unfortunately) buried under it all! We just emptied it and caved all the roof in (4 inch thick slates) to fill it up before the hardcore and concrete went down.
 
At out last yard, big barn with stables down either side, all the horses were well settled in here as they could see each and 'talk' over the dividing partions

And there was never any problems

This was the previous yard, didnt want to leave here but circumstances caused us to. Our stable was the corner one in the bottom covered bit

Doors look clean because they'd just been painted, you should have seen them before!

And inside the stable:

as you can see, the poor pony was so traumatised by the grills between stables, the glass window and the cobwebs that he fainted...

This is the front of the stables around the corner:

Pony is 14.2 btw

Oh, and they used to be pig pens and cattle houses. The horses are terminally shocked, but good as they are, they dont let it affect their work.

This is a chicken coop type thing, fits horses up to 13.2.

Mavis you win the prize! That is the most anal bed I have ever seen, if I did mine like that I wouldn't let them back in the box to walk on it!!

Sad isn't it, yet at the same time I am weirdly thrilled by my own anality (new word!)

Hehe! It is satisying to be anal about things in an odd way, I used to be when I just had one horse (still not THAT anal though!) Now I just can't be arsed quite honestly!!
tongue.gif
I can't believe how flat and level the entire bed is!! I am particualrly impressed by the neatness of the bank going around the pillar...its just flawless darrllllllliiinnnnngggg!

angel bones - its not often i get jelous, i think its highly unattractive trait. but omg i am so jelous of your barn&yard it has everything i want - think i even spy a washing machine too ! lucky you.

my lot moved in whilst only half finished. there clean, dry, warm and safe thats all that matters. will take some more pics on sunday and post. i found it really hard coming out of an indoor barn on a nice livery yard to my own field but it is worth it.


scratching our heads...
