It is beautiful! I love the older barns–so spacious! :slight_smile: Thanks for sharing.

That picture is grand! Thanks for sharing!

WOW… Marshall Fields (younger now about age 40-50?) used to do the Amateur Owner Jumpers and at one time was engaged to Paul Newman’s daughter… then dropped out of sight… now I believe he is back doing some jumpers and got his judges card… Don’t know if they still have that amazing barn though…

That barn looks almost like a carbon copy of the USET headquarters in Gladstone. Yep, those barn sure are grand and the floors the biggest PITA to keep clean. I worked for the USET back in the early 70’s and we hand scrubbed that floor with brooms and disinfectants weekly. Nevermind how often that brass had to be polished!!! :eek:

Absolutely stunning. What a great picture. Either he was very skilled or very luck to get that shot. It really gives a good sense of nostalgia.:slight_smile:
