Our very large object

I ordered this because I'm thinking of the future. We'll keep offering a free board here, and maybe the right horse/pony will turn up. But they need enough space, and our little stall wasn't enough. We've ordered the one shown here, with half doors and no center divider down the middle of the stalls.

I have experience with these "kit-run-ins/ run-in-kits" (I think that is what I should call it, since we'll be assembling it). These are designed to be placed out at pasture. Our last (private) boarding stable had one, and it held up great under the stress of several German winters and 5 horses. I was not happy about the metal overhang supports- I will be padding ours with insulating pipe foam. Also, we ordered the heavy duty wall thickness, over an inch thick, to prevent damages if we have a horse who kicks.

Since my man is an electrician, he'll be runing power and lights to this thing off the barn/greenhouse.

This kit was significantly less expensive than what our contractor offered.

So, we just need to level the area and place heavy ground slope supports so that it doesn't shift in time. And we'll be installing anchors on corner so it has a sort of foundation. We have to be careful cuz there is no building allowed in this neighborhood. Anything built has to be proven to be removeable in 24 hours. A run-in-kit should fit their criteria.

I spent another day shovelling the area to smoothen it. My man helped me when he got done with the strenuous work (teachin' high school kids math!). We hope with our several levelling devices, it will be more level soon.

Baasha likes to stand in the very center of the shovelled area and ponder.

Mercer likes to crouch in the corners, dig, and pee/poop, cuz to her it's a giant litter box.

We're thinking of bigger things that our animals cannot predict. Hopefully we'll do it right.
