The barn construction has finished! Yay
Now, Matt and I will finish building the climate controlled rodent proof tac room. We will construct the hot/cold water wash bay as well as a storage area for the hay.
The electrician and propane company will take care of the hot water heater and split level unit for heat and A/C.
Matt will take care of the plumbing.
Work will continue until it's done. The pasture and "work-tangle" will be finished up as well. So much to do. :-)

Finally, after a wild and wet crazy cold winter... it has dried out enough for the barn supplies to be delivered!
Now it's raining again every other day! HAHA! One step closer to having it done and we'll take it.
We are looking forward to seeing it built!

Rojo had his 2nd farrier visit last week. This week (March 10th) Rojo had his dental work done and his veterinarian visit.
He did fabulous. He was quite "restful" due to sedation for his dental work. After seeing how intricate the dental work process is, I can understand why it is so important to have sedation. Wow.
Rojo is doing great and will soon start some training to get him back into the correct behaviors. We will be learning a lot hands on as well and we're looking forward to it!
Though Rojo has been kept solo in the past, it was obvious that he wasn't happy. So a huge shout out to Freedom and Whiskey Equine Rescue for entrusting us with their precious pony, Scout. I'm not sure they are going to get this awesome little guy back when the time comes, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there! HAHAH!
Rojo and Scout know each other from when Rojo was at the rescue and they had a very happy (and hilarious antic filled) reunion!

When dreams come true and rescue is possible in order to obtain said dream... things are made even better.
Rojo is "home". At least one step closer at least. While our barn and grounds are being built and tidied up, pastures being fenced... so much... he is close by boarding until he has proper accommodations here at Project Perry.
He is such a good horse. We look forward to sharing his stories with you all as well as any of the future rescues that eventually find their way here.

There is a lot to learn when it comes to this new adventure. Basics...we've got but learning the PROPER care for horses is necessary. We continue our education with knowledgeable horse people.
We learned about Farrier care and hoof picking hands on which was REALLY COOL. Especially the "hot shoes". Wow.
It is super important for Matt and I to learn about "rescue" horses. Their stories can be so sad and like the parrot problem... I had no idea that horses are treated the way that they are treated. Donkeys/Burros/Mules as well.
Rescue horses can certainly be a little more overwhelming but thankfully, there are a few knowledgeable-decent horse lovers out there willing to help with learning instead of feeding their egos.
Construction has started on the barn area. Matt's tractor has certainly made a lot of its worth up with all of the money it helps to save by allowing Matt to take care of things on his own.
Me... I see a mess. It makes me nuts so I try not to focus on it too much. I focus on what it will be eventually.
Professionals have gotten the forms down, gravel bed laid, and concrete will be poured soon. Once the barn builder has his opening in schedule... we will be ready to go while we continue to learn everything we need to know for proper horse care.
