Well, we got the trailer moved into the compound, it's still been parked outside our fence out by the gate and we wanted to bring it in now that we'll probably not use it much, if at all, for the winter... just for better security.

First, this basketball hoop that's been in the way trying to turn around since I moved there, had to go.

Here comes ecurbh through the front gate... It's really tight in the yard, and we were a little skeptical about whether we'd be able to get it turned around in there. (That's why we've been keeping it out by the gate since we got it)

He's got to get it turned around and back on that driveway

Almost around...

We only had to nose into the paddock a little to get it straighted out.

Successfully done! And easier than we thought it would be. We're 2000% better at backing it than we were when we got it.

Cleaned it up real good inside and out...

And tarped it to keep the rain and needles out of it.

Talking about accidents with your horse....tonight I went out to the barn and went on a trail ride with Waylon. After our ride I put his halter on and let him graze. As I was walking him back to the barn he stepped in a hole in the ground that was ground level with no cover. He fell down and knocked me into the round pen that was there. I hurt my shoulder and was pretty shaken up. I went into the barn and told the owner and it didn't seem to faze her. She said it was probably the septic tank and I should watch where I'm going. Can you imagine ?

It turned out that the cover had fallen off and into the hole.

I am somewhat miffed at the owner, she didn't feel it was all that big a deal.

That's good you got your trailer all taken care of. It will last a good while, with proper care. The blue tarps reminds me I have to pick some up for my camper. The man I bought it off of, came over yesterday and winterized it for me. He was nice enough to bring his air compressor over and blow out the lines. That way there is no water left to freeze. I put this pink antifreeze down the drains. The tarps will help protect the roof from ice and snow.
