That New Barn Smell

So I decided that when I was no longer going to work at the barn where I used to have Pony I needed to move her. I've been to three, now four, different barns in three years. Which sounds kinda crazy, but there was a good reason for each move. I started keeping her at the first barn I worked at and when the stress of work and the judging eyes of my ex-coworkers got to be a little much I moved her to a barn nearby for the summer. It was cheap, had a good outdoor, a closet sized indoor, and a round pen. So I was happy for a summer, but as winter approached I knew I needed to change. I couldn't survive the winter without an arena I could actually ride in. So in the fall I moved to the barn I stayed at for a year and a half. They have a heated indoor (a must have for terrible Minnesota winters), and I could work off their frankly overpriced board. Then I got a job offer there, decided to give it a try and the vicious cycle of stress from work bleeding into my riding began again. So I decided to quit and here I am. Barn number four.

Settling In

This barn has an indoor (unheated, but I can bundle up), a grass jumping field, a dressage outdoor with special rubber footing, and a sand outdoor, along with a huge cross country course. Ponykins will be in the mare pasture with is in total 50 acres divided out so they don't over graze. Plus it has trailer parking! So no more parking my trailer half an hour away! And last but definitely not least, I have a tack locker of my very own!!!! No more putting my saddle on a rack in the arena! Pics to come once I get it all organized and looking pretty. 

First solo parking job!

So over all its super awesome and I'm excited to be here! I've decided I will not let myself get sucked into working here and ruin it for myself! 

Pony says it would be better with more treats
