I miss him though. He was so gentle yet so proud. I would take care of that horse forever. <br /> Tracy and Rachel were so nice too. But I have to say I absolutly LOVE DALIN SOOO MUCH!<br />I want to go back there again and again. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875253307572682101.post-87076792189069812332010-05-29T18:04:00.461-04:002010-05-29T18:04:00.461-04:00I've been following along with your Irish adve...I've been following along with your Irish adventures and just wanted to say Thanks for all the wonderful photos. I've never been there but I really really want to go. My older sister went one time and brought back a pin from the Irish National Stud but she didn't have that many photos of the landscape.

I am loving the bridle (my friend has let me borrow) Wa tries some of her behavior and I act...but now it does not hurt when I turn in a tight circle or pull .

Thanks for sharing the photos and info about how they do the stalls and fencing over there.<br />I do wonder how the contain stallions and/or jumpers, though. Do they use the stone walls still for jumping over while fox hunting, too?<br />I also wonder how they keep those inside feeders clean if they aren't able to be removed.<br /><br />Love the skylights. Always have had them in our houses we've owned. I don't know why the previous owners of our house didn't install them in our barn, though. It would have been especially nice now that the gophers have chewed through our electric up at our barn and I can't see a dang thing in my tack room even in the middle of the day. bah!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875253307572682101.post-29088567701250765342010-05-27T21:41:59.032-04:002010-05-27T21:41:59.032-04:00I love to see how horses are kept in different are...I love to see how horses are kept in different areas of the world.

I never use the lights in the barn except at night.<br />Our horses could not live outside full time. No way. At the end of the day, all are waing at the gate.<br />Three of them would literally colic themselves, if left outside.<br />Our coyotee problem has escalated, too! Just since Sunday we have had five of them luking around. They are such a menace!<br /><br />I hope you will treat us to more pix! Did you come home with an Irish accent?!

When I saw the first photo that showed inside their stall, I thought they don't clean their stalls out very well, but then you explained in another photo how it is banked up on purpose, etc. Suppose their ideas would catch on over here? Or maybe they have in places? What a wonderful experience you have had!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875253307572682101.post-62267844486259811072010-05-27T12:01:32.274-04:002010-05-27T12:01:32.274-04:00Wow, that is a gorgeous setup.

Or electric.<br /><br />Those open fronted stalls are nice for ventilation and I like how they can't mess up their food and water. But my horse would duck under that little chain. Or go through it.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295839865379604318noreply@blogger.com
