Holes



In between baby horses, pasture class, work and chickens we are also building an additional stable for our four horses. And we are doing this in the hottest part of the year. We had no choice since the baby horses came. Digging holes in Ozark soil is VERY hard work. We tried to use an auger on a tractor but it kept hitting rocks. So we ended up digging the six post hole by hand about thirty inches deep. Being so hot we can only do this in the early morning and evenings, when the horseflies attack. Nothing stops horseflies. I hate horseflies and they know this. The fun part is seeing all the different kinds of rocks we have here. And how many horseflies I can hit with the rocks.
