And the arena!

I haven't figured out yet that if I want to tell a story in a certain sequence that I need to tell it backwards...so this is supposed to come next, but whatever.

Here are some pics of the arena! Very exciting...beautiful sand surface - perfect in any weather...not that it rains much, but more of a concern is that the ground gets so hard here. Also we've got lights, so finally I can ride after work...and Hugh can also just go out there at night and dance around. I thought Donnie might be afraid of his shadow at first, but he is fine. The lights are up on that telephone pole. This view is looking down from the new barn.

In the other photo you can see the view from the arena back up to the barn...they had to cut thru all that rock...its amazing we have any teeth left with all that pounding (and the poor neighbors...it went on forever, i think people thought we were building some new cross city tunnel or something.)

Its awesome to ride in!
