One fall day after church, Brent got Lightning out and rode & played around a while.

Saturday, October 30th Brent got Lightning out and rode for a few minutes before he went on a trail ride with Bill Fuller.

Lightning "resting".   It has been such a dry, hot summer.   No rain.... means NO grass!

Top Over Water Trough

Larry built this top over the water trough to help keep it a little cooler in these hot summer days.

New Watering Trough

Jewell & Lightning LOVE to eat on the side of the hill.

All that's left now is scrap metal that we have to take and sell.

Larry worked really hard on cleaning out this back of the shed so he could build stables for the horses.   He has it all cleaned out now!

Larry went to Tractor Supply in Forest on Saturday, June 5th and got this for the horses.   It has an automatic float that keeps the water level full.    Now we're going to have to build a top over it to keep the water from getting so hot.

Molly loves to go to the barn and really likes the horses.

Lightning and Jewell  "mowing" down the grass on the hillside.

The Green, Green Grass of Home!

Got a pretty good stand of grass..... the horses eats all of the grass on the banks and leaves all this other grass.    Sooner or later they will have to move on to the grass in the middle.

Added Lights

Brent, Larry and Dane Morgan worked on adding lights to the stable & barn the week of May24th.   

Looking Over the Pasture

Mom and Dad was watching the pasture and Jewell and Lightning in the pasture eating grass.  May, 2010

Stable Opening

Larry hauled in some dirt to keep rain from standing in front of the stable door.   After a rain, he said he thought he still needed some more dirt.    May 11, 2010

Fit for a King/Queen

Larry and Brent putting the finishing touches on the lean-to off the stable.   Larry said it was Brent's idea to put the "v's" off the post .... after all... he IS his Father's Son!

Lean-to off Stable, May 8, 2010

This is going to be the "Tack Room"

Brent & Larry went to Lowe's and got some material and worked after lunch on the lean-to.   Larry had to work at Weyerhaueser all morning. 

Stables fit for a King and Queen!

Post Hole Digger

Larry borrowed this post hole digger that attaches to the tractor from Danny Irons.   He said it was most definately a life saver - he couldn't have dug all of those post holes by hand!

Molly, Brent & Lightning

So sweet! Molly seems to be getting along with horses pretty good - of course she doesn't understand that if they step on her - they will put her six feet under!
