Being in 2 different states while we were looking for a place in a 3rd state made things a bit difficult, but we managed to find a place with a house and 4 acres. I didn't get to see it until about 1 1/2 weeks before close, and let me tell ya, it wasn't what I was expecting.
Closing happened mid Nov, and the horses were coming down Dec 1st.... which didn't leave much time to prepare. First I went through and rolled up allllll the barbed wire (evil stuff!), pulled out all the old fencing, T-posts that were to short, and random posts that had no purpose, and in my extra time cleared out all the stuff that could potentially hurt 2 insane mares from what we were turning into the first pasture. Including a lot of chicken coops. And 2 deep freezers. And really old rusted tractor parts.
Then we had to dig post holes, set posts and braces, new T-posts, and finally run the fence.
Phase 2 started the day after the horses arrived- clearing out and fencing off the "shed" which is the shelter for this winter, and will be turned into a barn sometime this spring.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsnX6uQa3s2PJfSadnw-4Lm82RYdP4gqPSv327Wkvl4Cs2Kffx5jXO9BUhltxC-hwdXfohFKoI9PoTLLKjOqS7Wqj-q4hjUV_SUS5rPC6623jjKZfcjR-SrRI-2m4O47mV-4vlpE14sYA/s320/NCM_0950.JPG)
