Kyrin wrote:Okay, so today we are going through the paddock and making sure we’ve gathered up all bits of wood, posts, wire panels, etc. We’re almost done, so we think, when we find a few pieces of wire sticking up out of the ground.
No problem, we’ll just pull ’em up with the truck…nope! Okay, well we need the bulldozer to get the basketball hoop pole out anyway, so let’s get that…clamp on to the wire and pull, 100+ pounds of twisted metal and wire later. So we run the forks through the ground and find a lot more…keep sifting. More we sift, the more we find.
I now have a big pile of twisted metal and wire, I am so not happy right now. Turns out the previous owner apparently dragged a bunch of furniture out there, burned it up and then buried all the non burnables. Nice.
We’re at the point of just combing through the rest of it, getting as much as we can and then cutting off the offending wires that we still can’t find the ends of. I’m mad though, how inconsiderate and thoughtless can you get? Ever consider someone might want to use that land for something? Imagine if we’d used a disker…it would have fouled it all up.
Anyway, now we have to smooth over the ground and clip the wires we couldn’t get, but it’s not good to know that there is probably more wire and metal under there.

😯 😯 😯 holy cow what a mess!!!!!!
Instead of Star could you name the black mare after one of the stars in the sky or Galaxy? Milky-Way wouldn’t fit because she is blacl but could make a cute name for a buckskin or light colored horse.
How about Dark Star?
I am still thinking
You could name her Pearl..then she’d be a black pearl….lol.
or…Onyx
Berry …..she could be a blackberry!Two of the horses are supposed to arrive today.
I think I am going to call the black mare “Twilight”.
What do you guys think?
We finished up everything today, installed the water trough with a float, and positioned the feed tub. Now we just have to wait for the horses now.
Kyrin
I love twilight!
Some names I’m going through for the wee one are
Envy, Cadence, Maestro, Siafu, Sparky (husbands!), Safire, Blazen, Malibu, Melody (after Melody) 😆Make sure we get lots of pictures!
The horses should be here in the next hour or so, when they get here, I’ll take some pics for you guys.
Kyrin
Here we go, horses! Twilight is only 3 years old and a bit skittish, but she’s beautiful, and both horses are a bit taller than originally thought, about 15 hands, which is comfortable, I’m happy.
