Love the facilities, the bright natural light for the stalls in the daytime. The windows in the arena might prove to cause 'spooks' or window watching while working inside...the way out is that way!

The barn looks like just the place to assure Riley a speedy recovery! I will be thinking good thoughts for both of you.

What a lovely yard. And (considering the time of day) so tidy too! I LOVE the window fans.

Beautiful farm and the best option of the four. I'm glad you picked this one. It will make Riley's recovery much easier for you.

Hope the radiographs show more good news than bad.

When my youngster had a mysterious abscess, the vet thought the end of his coffin bone had been affected. He and my farrier got together to use the x rays to assure the shoeing angle was

The stalls look very nice. Can I move into an empty stall? Seriously? Forget my horse, I'll live there!

Hope Riley enjoys it there. I bet it'll be much easier on you and Bob with the boys close to each other now.

Thanks for the tip on the bit -- I have a jolly ball but he keeps throwing it over the stall. He'll certainly work for a treat...

And yes, that lovely indoor (felt footing) is used regularly by riding boarders. I'm the only one walking my horse around, I'm sure.

Looks like a good decision to me - the nice stalls should make his recuperation easier. Any possibility of ulcers with the cribbing (I've heard there's a possible association - not necessarily that one causes the other) and stall kicking when upset? Also, a horse stalled 24/7 is at high risk of ulcers.

It looks lovely! And as for boredom breakers...grab an old half gallon milk container with a twist off lid and drill holes in the bottom that are just bigger then the size of grain. Throw in a handful of pellets and he will spend a good chunk of time trying to get his snack out. My horse Gen was on full stall rest for over 6 months. I have lots of other fun cheap ideas to try and keep your baby

Forgot to add...WOW, outdoor is amazing as well. Geesh! Haha. The stalls are really nice and I love the windows with the fans.

Beautiful place! The indoor is beautiful too, wow...

Beautiful place! The indoor is beautiful too, wow, loving it. Do they board horses there for reasons other than medical/recovery? That indoor is just too nice for only hand-walking.
