Paddock Renovation

DAY 1 Paddock Renovation

The morning started out nicely, with Carlin doing some prep work while waiting for the bobcat to be delivered. Throughout the day, which was beautiful, Carlin worked on removing the manure pile, removing misc. mud and muck, and grading areas that had eroded.

The paddock already looks brand new! With the removal of two tree stumps and the manure pile gone it looks so big! And, we even found original bluestone under all the sh*t. LOL

I will post pics as soon as I can.

Thomas and I spent a couple of hours painting the fence, so it's looking good too.

The large gravel comes tomorrow! We are SO excited!

Exciting things in store......

The onslaught of rain has forced me into finally getting prices for some renovations to my paddocks. I've hired Great Falls native, Carlin Brundage to do the work. He's going to do a bit of grading, add a lot of gravel with a lot of crushed stone on top of that. He's going to do some erosion control in another area, and most exciting, we are talking about additional fencing and a real ring!

I don't have the ring stuff down pat, and not sure I can do it right now, but if I can at least get the fencing up where I want it - that'll give us a grassy area to ride on.

If anyone has any ring and footing suggestions, please bring them on!
