One fence down ... er up!

Christie has been working on finishing up one of the lines of fencing for Ryder's pasture (Lower Little Barn for those keeping score). Last night we worked together to put the finishing touches on it. We now have one complete line of heavy duty jack-legged fence. Some of the jacks were so heavy it took two people to lift them. If this fence doesn't hold the stallion, I don't know what will.

So, that is one down, and many, many more to go. Even though the job is huge, there was a certain satisfaction in getting at least one fence line completely replaced. Wish us luck, the next challenge will be a flatbed trailer filled with 122 bales of hay (again for those keeping score, that is roughly 4.5 ton). To get all of our hay, we will have to make 10+ trips with that trailer.
