Welcome to Washington's Farm - a historical equestrian estate once owned by George Washington! Join me as I share my equestrian pursuits as well as the trails and tribulations of calling a late 1700s national treasure home :)
love this...how do I contact you would love some more advice!!! conaidering adding small barn just like this three large stall with same set up....having trouble
This is SO valuable to me! Thank you- I grew up in southern CA with horses, now we are in the deep south. Completely different environment w different problems. Currently live in suburbia, but am playing w the idea of rural life//barn//horses, but I know it is a lifestyle, so I am researching like crazy so I know what we might be getting into, maybe in 5 years. Thanks so much for all the details.
Beautiful barn. My ears perked up when I heard you say Maryland as I’m also in MD and trying to put together a list of things I definitely want to build in my barn
Hi. Your horse stables are amazing. This would work great for me. Can't seem to get the link working for the plans. Would you be able to send directly? Thank you.
90,000 Are their any cheaper designs!? I just want a small shed for the tools, 3 horses. 4 stable barn. lol simple.... I love the side lighting idea and will keep that in mind...
Yes actually there is a slant on RU-vid she has more than 3 horses but she has a fairly small barn and it is also very pretty and she says it cost her about 60k
Sorry noob to RU-vid and can’t figure out how to get the plans. I type in the address and get drive news? With links to share files software back up and a few others but no plans? I am seriously considering using them if I can get them!
i plan on becoming an orthadondist. And i planned the time i should be able to get something like this. i plan on being around 35 to 40 yo when i can finally get my own stables plus being able to afford a horse and basic horse care
Hi there! The trailer was manufactured by "Valley" brand trailers in Ohio. I purchased the trailer directly from them but they would only deliver to one of their trusted re-sellers "Blue Ridge Trailers" in Virginia - about 2 hours away from me.
@@megbobsbarn3 thanks I miss you hope you and your horses and hubby are good its winter now so I suspect you'll be enjoying inside as much as possible, I'm in Michigan and we are getting some snow today ( uck so my pasture will go to crap now) you always put a smile on my face
where did you find your horses and are they easy to train , I'm used to those hot crazy thoroughbreds and have one now but want a mixed something x draft not so big as 100 percent draft, I want to rescue maybe, I'm in Michigan
how much did you pay for your shire? i have one too and i know there endangered so im curious what people paid for theres..i love my big girl, shes about 17.5HH
Great question. The directions on the bag say not to feed ANY additional supplements, however my gelding's blood work came back low in Vitamin E so I top-up his feed with some. Please note, he has underlying genetic issues which may contribute to his deficiency however.
Your barn is lovely!!! I live in north Texas and I desperately want to buy my own little plot of land and build a 5 stall poll barn and “tiny” house. I’m researching the cost now, and my gosh, barns are a whole lot more expensive then I would have thought. I won’t be detoured though, it’s about a 5-7 year plan anyway, so I’ve got time lol
Thank you for the review. We have purchased 4 of the premium stable comfort mats which are due to arrive here in Qatar today so may take a few days before getting them through customs. I’ve been a bit worried about this installation...The 4 stalls we will be installing them in have block paving as a base which should be fine, I believe? Is there an alternative way regarding the install over the threshold?
We were told that if we screw the rubber top sheet directly into concrete/cinder block/stone walls we would lose our 3 year warranty. That is why we chose to install them like we did over the threshold. I think having a block paver floor should be ok, it only gets tricky if you have to screw the top sheet into stone/concrete/etc. So far the mats have been working fine (despite a mouse chewing a hole in one of the top sheets) Good luck with your installation. The more people you have to help the better!
Those draft horses really must be tricky monsters, on the other hand, I have had draft horses for 57 years now and haven't experienced the need for half of the things mentioned here. Some of the suggestions, though, are useful.
The stalls are as close to a true 12x12ft interior measurement as possible. The Dutch doors are "oversized" meaning they are extra wide and extra tall. I'm not sure of their exact measurements though.
This was incredibly helpful! I probably won't be able to do this for a good 6 years but quarantine got me looking into this as I saw a dream barn kit and like my goal is to have that barn in my backyard at some point. Thank you for giving me a lot to think about!
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Canackenzie Astounded Cure (google it)? It is a great one off product for building better sheds and master woodworking without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend after many years got excellent success with it.
I really just want to put this out there, but draft horses dont need like electric fencing. My stable has a clydstale and a ton of draft horses. They dont need ratchet straps. Draft horses are like any other horse, but just bigger.
I just found you! I absolutely love your no nonsense approach! Thank you. I'm trying to design my dream barn and that's what led me to your video. I laughed a few times lol
