Barn Building


First you level the area for the round pen and barn. The round pen was ready as a temporary place for Pinky and Belle, till the barn was built.

Then you get ready for concrete.

On Saturday August 4, 2018 the guys as Dry Creek Mini Barns start to put it all together. Happiest day of my life!

And they keep going!

By Sunday evening we are almost there!


By Tuesday we have inspection and the ponies move in.


It still needs a base of pea gravel, but once done, this porch will make a fine place for workshops and classes!

I was up at 4am and it was the neatest thing to walk next door to the barn and peek in on them all. As you can see, the herd of 3 is getting along just fine.There is so
