Finally, an update!

A friend commented this morning that we needed to post an update on the blog, and we're very happy to finally be able to do so! Work has been slow until today. The crew didn't work last week, but they have been here every day this week and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! TA-DAH!!!!

There is not much left to be done on the outside -- one more concrete pour, one sliding door and two overhead garage doors to be installed, and gravel in the parking area.

On the inside we need to complete the electric wiring, install doors on the stalls and in the hay loft, and complete the final touches in the tack room.

The view in the photo above is from the center of the riding arena facing the stall area. The stall area features a concrete aisle with a tack room in the center and three stalls on either side of the tack room. A four foot knee wall divides the stall and riding areas. Above the stalls is a large closed-in hay loft with access from either end of the aisle. The hay loft also features two outside sliding doors to aid in unloading hay from wagons directly to the loft.

We'll soon be making plans to add students to our roster...we are SO excited to offer this beautiful facility free of charge to the community, and we pray that the Lord will use it to reach little ones in need!
