Pam, Can I get a set too. All these years I've sat down in the saddle, both legs on near side and scooched to comfort. Then right leg up over horn, holding...
Can you have runs on each of the stalls so the horses can get out into paddocks in an emergency? I leave the doors open 24/7 so they can move around. "Heather...
