So all they need is a fence! I guess the dog doesn't wander too far.

Spent our Saturday moving some stuff for Mom... plus the survey was finally marked... which is good so we can get our bit of farm field planted for hay.

Today we are unloading the trailer.

Then going after a New Zealand doe from a friend. Which will hopefully produce Johns first meat pen for 4h .
Friday the kids and I rode a bit. Was super happy that Rayne remembers her off lead training and did well again for Jocelyn. (It’s been several months)
She’s ready for the trails I think at least on a lead. I am sure by the end of the season they’ll be trail riding with us off line. I did ride Richie for only a few minutes... wasn’t worth it to even grab a bridle. Just in a halter and bareback. He has really done wonders for my anxiety. Got some pictures the minis and him sleeping in the sun...

Sounds like a Great day and some Sunshine to enjoy it all in to boot.............even the animals took advantage....I know they are more than ready for the crap ya been putting up with to be moving on for warmer days.....as things begin to "cycle".....

Good fences make good neighbors. Make sure that the fencing you do keeps dogs out. We used the 2"x4" non climb horse wire, but the 4"x4" sheep/goat wire is a lot cheaper and would keep dogs out too. If you can't fence the whole place in dog proof wire, fence in a "safe zone" for the small animals and skirt it on the ground 2' out to prevent digging in.

I would get 2 rooms ready to move in, and live in the house and camp trailer, in a heartbeat. Wild horses couldn't drag me away from that fantastic farm that you have. Put your place up for sale ASAP and go live your dream/nightmare/adventure!!!!!! LOL

I have to agree with Bay. It’d be so much easier to make progress if you are there.

I'm interested to see how you choose to go forward.

Friday a garbage bin will be delivered so we can start clean up. DH plans on getting a hay field started where there was beans last year. And we are going to pull down the existing posts and old wires, then put up horse safe fences. Mom will move to the trailer when it's available for rent then close on it after her place up north closes. And we'll get started on the house too. When we get the house to a point that it would be safe for the kids we'll put ours on the market. At some point a lean to off the corn crib needs added too. DH plans on finishing the small garage also for his tools/workshop. A million things to do... and I plan on riding as much as possible as that's my therapy...
