They are building a new barn where we board. It will be a hay and storage barn mostly. Work has been going along well and they hope to have the roof on in January! I think it's about 100 feet long and 60 feet wide...
Stanley looks so dejected walking out to the herd in the pasture through all the mud...it's been an unusually warm winter so far which means the snow is rain. And boy has it been raining. and raining. And raining.

Where do u board at? I just stumbled on your blog from my friend recommending it to me. I board in Milford :)
Kristen, we board at Superior Stables in Superior Township. LOVE it there but kind of far from Milford!
Oh yea, oh and I'm not looking to move :) I did want to find out; how do u find the small local shows (more fun, in hand, or beginner type) in your area? I can't seem to find anything near us that I would want to try out. I used to show H/J back in HS (loooong time ago) and with my OTTB I wanted something local, low key and just fun to try come spring/summer. Thanks :)
We love showing at the Spur of the Moment shows - very low key and they have walk/trot adult classes for green riders/horses. Those are just outside Ann Arbor so not bad. A good source for open shows is Saddle Up Magazine. You can view it online or pick up a free copy at most feed stores. There are a couple of open shows held at the Milford High School equestrian fields - one is on father's day. CMHA (Central Michigan Horseman Association) has a bunch of shows up at Shiawassee that are a little more competitive but they have a pretty big variety. There's a fun open show at the same place labor day weekend that's put on by the Morgan people. Most of the 4-H grounds also have some open shows - The one at Cohocta in Livingston County might be just as close as the one in Oakland County for you!
