We have an artful "Midnight
Banner" in our stables somewhere. This
one handiwork recently popped up overnight and it really
expresses the sentiment around here.

"Midnight Banner"
We continue to be
excited about Michelle Gibson's new stallion, World of
Dreams. His nick name is Indy. He has a pretty
white blaze on his face, and two white socks on his hind
legs. Indy seems to float around the arena when
Michelle rides him. With modern photography, we
have confirmed that he does, indeed, float.

We received our new
directors' chairs with our farm and foundation logos this
week. They are made by one of Michelle's sponsors, Triple
Crown Custom, and we think they are terrific. We
will use some in the tack area and riding ring here at the
farm, and some will go in the trailer to go to shows and
other events.

Farm
Project Corner
Always
projects at the farm. This week we renovated the footing
in the covered arena. It gets a workout with 20 horses
in training. Just getting time to work on it is tricky
with the busy riding schedule. We put in a new base of
crushed screenings and angular sand.
Then
we added Precision EQ rubber footing. Precision EQ,
one of Michelle's sponsors, shipped it to us overnight. We
used our Gator to move the bagged footing into the arena.
Then
we distributed the bags evenly across the arena surface.
Then
we emptied each bag in place, leaving piles of
Precision EQ. This method helps to get the material evenly
spread across the large area of the arena.
Then
we used the tractor with the grooming attachment to evenly
spread it out.
The
finished project. Made from specially recycled tires,
those without any steel belts, this material came from the
Precision EQ facility in Jacksonville, Florida.
