Molly had been in the round pen by 9 - she was NOT amused - i can turn her right without touching her. tee hee. it'll do her the world of good!
she's been drinking - i thought at first she hadn't but turned out someone had filled it up anyway. and eating.
poo picking .... had to be done, in that paddock. hey ho.
the stable - even with the cupboards/trunk lined against the wall, I still have 11' x 12' to play with. so the cupboards will stay there....
hope Molly is ok with that, if not i'll have to rethink! the rugs, of course, are to go be cleaned and then will fit in the trunk. and some are not mine, I hasten to add - well, one is Queenie's and one is Alison's horse...the YO's partner kindly put up the hay bar, stable mirror & salt lick holder. hurray!
the one mistake I made in picking that stable? i think the prevailing wind comes in that end of the barn. oops. and of course, at this time of year it's open both ends when there's people there, to let air through and cool it down.
Been up to see Queenie, who was in and nickered at me (but only, i think, because she thought I was Alison!). Alison was out for a ride, and i waited for ages, had a cup of tea, read H & H etc, but had to go without seeing her as it was arranged that I go to Nicola's.
that was a good trip. I shall of course let nicola tell you all about it. but in the meantime, here's some photos of the birdlife...

I think you've picked absolutely teh right stable for a horse with breathing sensitivities. You want maximum air change, and you'll get it. Rugs will keep her warm.
BLimey - that stable's practically fully furnished missus - where's the settee and the sink? :-) !!

yes, but it makes sweeping up a bit of a nightmare, and the shavings will blow away!
Looks lovely. If Molly is eating and drinking well, then she is settling in. Lots of room in the stable. Nice.
Have to laugh about the round pen. Bet that was a shocker for her to have to work the way you wanted her to.
