photos

Bin # 2 steaming and a giant spider web waiting for any flies that dare sniff our stuff. We're on to bin # 3 now and bin #2 is at 160* and full.


We're putting up the fencing for the 4th paddock.

First Mr. Java's Mom did some of this:



And we mixed concrete and struggled, and probably got poison ivy and I was very uncomfortable with the amount of sweat I was experiencing, but we then got this: (corner posts braced and set in concrete):

And now Mr. Java's Mom is digging out the holes that the auger could not do, rocks happen. We'll hopefully get the line posts done today.


And, I waited ALL WEEK for the professional photographs to be posted, and it's pretty funny, but the professional photographer took a photo of us over one jump... probably the tiniest one on cross country. There is one candid. No stadium, no dressage, nothing else.
Here we go:
And:
The video of stadium hopefully will be posted next. If I can post it, should be entertaining.

You and Java look just great!

Thanks Guys! The make and model of Java's boots: they are very basic, I put them on for the cross country phase for peace of mind. The fronts are Centaur, and the hind boots are Toklat. Just the basic neoprene boots, I rarely use them.

It may be a small jump, but Java's got big air. You guys looked great!
