This diary shares how I am learning to care for two Tennessee Walking Horses with no experience but that of family, friends and other horse owners who are SO willing to give advice. Warning: I'm not an expert. A lot of what I describe early on I found later was a bad idea so don't hold me responsible for any technique I describe here. Read all you can, seek advice, use common sense, but most of all, be very careful. I've been bitten, sprained an ankle and wrenched a knee - so far ...
It took three days, but we put the finishing touches on the fence -- only to find that the 1" cedar rails are too flimsy! The horses can push and bend the boards and the first thing they did was gnaw on them. Next time, the wood will be 2" white oak boards. Someone told us horses don't like to eat white oak, but the cedar was inexpensive.
Now we just have to paint it.
