MUDDDDDDDD!

Ok I officially HATE mud! We have been having pretty warm weather here and whatever left over snow is melting. The trouble is that our property is hilly (is that a word?) and all of the melting water runs down the hill to sit in the horse pens and the driveway. We have tried scooping the mud out of the pens, pulling the snow away from the pens, creating a small trench in the pens so the water can run out, buying stall mats for the horses to stand on, and even piling mud around the pens as a barrier to keep the water out. Of course none of it has worked.



Someone suggested laying down corn stalks to help absorb the mud and that he knows a guy who can possibly get us a truck load to try. It sounds kind of expensive and messy to clean up lol. We also contacted a couple of boarding facilities to try and keep the horses there until we can get our place set up for them. One place seemed really nice but his idea for separating the horses made me a little nervous. Also the type of fencing that he had set me on edge. The babies have never had any other kind of fencing other than panels and I would rather not have them run through a fence or roll under one (Tabasco) at someone elses place.


Hopefully we can figure something out soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
