You are a man after my own heart. 
Maybe it’ll load this time 
Wooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooo!! I’ll bring two!
Kinda small so I put a log on top till I get around to making a bigger one next to it.
Home sweet home 
Our RV was a 5th wheel, certainly not the rolling party-mobile that you have ETBW. 
If it were truly to BE a Teela-Wooket re-enactment, the ponies wouldn’t have to be broke at all!! 
It’s a very pretty new toy, GO-dog-GO!! 
GDG…
My husband went to school at Middlebury, very close to you… We adore VT & would love to have a farm such as yours. Hubbie used to visit a farm a little NW of Middlebury and hack out once or twice a week - can’t remember the name of the farm - but the views from the hills were unbelievable. Anyway, your place is fabulous.
If ever we make it back to VT with horses in tow, we’d love to come visit & we’ll make sure to leave our boxers at home…they suck the intelligence out of any dog within a 2 mile radius!!
There is no crying in baseball!!!
When are we invited up to try them out? You know we are practicing down here.
Keep up the good work. We want pics of you riding over them!
We’re NOT RICH. We got this place 112+ ACRES REALLY CHEAP [$500 an acre]. This is the view fron near the house looking south. Most of the fences I’ve shown are in/near this shot. When [if!] I ever get the whole course like I want it, it will be a couple miles long using most of our place.
Anyone is welcome to school any time. The grounds all clay so it’s really slippery when wet.
We have a grass dressage ring [photo to come]and need to to start building stadium fences soon.
This is my guy Popov [who hadn’t jumped in 5 years till this fall] that LOVES to jump over anything I’ve built. Now if I can learn how to jump we’ll be all set!
You have flat! It sure looks different over there on the “west coast”. The only reason we have any flat at all is that part of our property used to be a runway for a backwoods airport!
Your X-C course looks really fun, well-built, and inviting. Did you do all that this year?
What a lovely INVITING course you built! Makes me itch,I’ve always found those type fences irresistible!
Your house andgroundsare beautiful and all the work you’ve done shows.
Are a tractor and a bulldozer different? I know you couldn’t have done the work you’ve done without a tractor.
ok…so…
I’m blond
Looks like you have a great piece of land and a wonderful start on XC fences! I would recommend putting ground lines on some of those vertical fences (like the first 2)… ESPECIALLY the ones intended for greener horses. I know they’re small, but especially when they are so vertical, you need to have a ground line rolled out in front so the horse can have a good jump. As for ideas for more fences, have you purchased The ABCs of Cross Country Design & Construction from USCTA? It’s a great little book that I’m sure will give you some wonderful ideas.

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!
Was the barn the Equestery?
You’re welcome here anytime with or without your boxers. Careful though,I have a couple labs that will suck the blood out of any dog in a 2 mile radius
You can jump the whole thing either way…
So where’s the pic?
Yeah, that’s the only problem, no hills! We’re only 1 mile fron the lake so it’s very flat. We do have that nice deep ravine running through the place. I’d need to put in a big culvert before I do any real work in it. In the wet times it runs 10’ wide and 8" deep.
Most of the fences were built [or dragged] over the last couple weeks. I need to get some bales or brush in front of the vertical stuff to keep my guy jumping right.
This weekend we’re going to try to put up another brush box and a coop.
I’m trying to figure out where to build a nice timber oxer.
Come on over amd check it out…
Beautiful course, and more importantly, stunning dogs! WOW!
It’s a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider’s nuts, the horse bolts!
