The Barns
The double doors swing open at both ends, providing the horses with plenty of natural light. White florescent lighting is up along the cealing. Stalls run along both sides of the barns. Each Barn contains twelve stalls total.
The posts running from the floor to the hay lofts above are made of oak. They also are used to separate the stalls. The stalls themselves are made of Mahogany. The sides are about 7 foot high, the front of them are about 4 foot, with polished bars running the rest of the length to the loft.
The bars enable the horses to see out of the stall, and greet each other, and those who come to visit. At the corner, there is about a foot square open in the bars, where the wood and bars meet. Under the opening is the plastic bucket for feed. Next to it, hanging on a hook is the large bucket for water.
The loft runs both sides of the barn. Made of oak and very sturdy. Holes have been cut above each stall, allowing the hay to be distributed easily. The hay is stacked in neat, staggared rows, three rows deep, with plenty of room to manuver around.
The floors are cement, with open weave rubber mats on top, and pine shavings on top of that.. piled thickly for maximum comfort for the horses. Brass rings, run on the oak posts, for tying or cross-tying the horses for easy grooming. There is a brass ring also in each stall, for what care may have to be given in there.
