Concrete Safety Area

A break in the wet weather enabled the final piece of concrete to be laid today.

We also took advantage of the dry morning to get Maggie & Marmite harnessed up . Wally and Denise then took Mike and his boys out for a drive by way of thanks for the excellent job they have done for the group. I think Tom, Mike's son was pretty impressed by Maggie's speed when asked to trot on! She is pretty swift!

Alexa and I then had a quick spin out to hone our driving skills with Denise and Wally as our co-drivers/instructors.

The next weather front brought the rain back for the afternoon and we had to cover the concrete that had not yet gone off enough. Anyway, it is all done now, a great improvement and a much safer area for everyone. It will be a blessing not to have to lift and drag the old 10 ft. iron gate to take the horses through; we now have a 6 ft. and a 3 ft. new set of galvanised tubular gates that open and close easily. The 6 ft. gate closes off the chalet area securely when opened to lead the horses through into the yard for work.
