If you can rent a vibratory plate compactor....aka compactor it will make a world of difference...most rentals are about $75/day...a 20" should do

You could scrap out the horses then put stone or something. If it's that bad do no one there have gravel driveways? We are either all clay or all sand where i live, high water table lots of rain and snow....gravel driveways all over. I just don't believe it would be no improvement if done right.

Scrap, #3 or #4 limestone, pack, 2A or similiar, pack....done. It would have to be some sort of improvement.

I do agree for horses it would be more difficult...maybe just #3 or #4 limestone packed. Once you get stone down drainage should be better and help the stone stay in place.

Ton of money that I don't have to hire someone to remove muck, add dust n pack, add gravel n pack.

Horses would only be scraping out currently, as it is higher than the inside of the barn. I need to have the whole area regraded and add a little retaining wall w/drainage to flow away.

Sheep side, I'd want to just dump the gravel and smoosh it down by foot. No back flooding over there.

It's all just too much for me to be doing alone...
I'm barely keeping composure dealing with last night's wind.

Some days I wish I lived in an apartment.

Back to spinning up Ewenique+WoolyBully rolags!
Trying to add less twist, as I realized that I add too much.

That feeling doesn't last for long though, does it? Sorry about the wind....

Hah, sure doesn't. Even visiting people who live in apartments is stressful. Creepy to be able to hear the 11 different families around them...

Someone made the suggestion of using plywood for now, think I may try that...Then I jumped to "oh, lets just make a deck and rise above the muck!" Lol, yeah, me, that is just soooo simple.... But it would work for the sheep.

I feel them and based on what I remember their wool was like the previous year. But there are a few I should of coated, like Ewenique and Guinever.
I'm making coats so all are coated year round, though. They should sell better then and I won't have to miss out on a good fleece that I had thought wasn't good enough.

Some happy pics, though, something had spooked them.
This is across the creek to the west.
