Farmland Renovation: 6 Months with Calming Music 

@clare999 Thank you so much, that means such a lot as always. I have to admit its taken me a week to find all the footage and put this video together and I had forgotten how much we had done! I really can't remember it looking like that in the first place! My brain is just shocking though. We are battling against the ragwort at the minute, its like a jungle! 2 thirds out so far and barrow fulls coming out every day. Its relentless but my word it is so worth it!!! xXx

@karenmackinnon7385 I thought exactly the same! It was just so wet and the mud was like nothing Ive ever known. We took on this field and rescued three foals in the January which is why I started the RU-vid channel. It just got wetter and wetter and I was sinking to my knees! There was no guttering and big holes in the roof but there was so much rubble that it took a while to get to that bit :-) Thank you so much for your comment, its just so wonderful to know that people are actually watching these little videos and it really does encourage me to keep going with it x

Thank you so much for your comment @FinleyMullinsIsBae it means a lot :-) It has been tough but did you like the bits with Leo in it?

@@EssentiallyLivingtheDream seeing Leo doing some of the dirty work was a great surprise, will definitely keep updated to see more of leo 😂

@@FinleyMullinsIsBae its a very rare occurrence! 😅

Oh heavens @jimjohandes that's the most wonderful comment ever! Thankyou so much for watching and it would be a pleasure to have you (and your recliner) on this journey with us X

Oh that's funny! Did you see he sign?

@flyoverurbangarden4315 thank you so much for watching this video and for a lovely comment. Really does mean such a lot that people are enjoying the looooooooong process as much as we do! I can't wait to see what the next 6 months brings!

Thank you so much for your comment @janicelane8979 We don't use them as traditional stalls, we just leave them open all the time so its more of a field shelter. Toby my blind horse is 44 and he has never accepted going into a stable but he is loving these because they are open 24 hours a day. Plus they like to all stand in there together like the 3 amigos!

:-)

Thank you so much for your comment @martinbarker5045 that means such a lot! It is such hard work but will be so worth it in the end!

Thank you so much @AVILLAGEGIRLLL !

Oui, @fauvelchristine4486 il a fallu beaucoup de temps et d’efforts pour réparer le toit ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé cette vidéo et d'avoir commenté.

We are 51.51 degrees North of the equator @janaj.8696 so at the minute we very rarely see any snow we just have endless rain! We've had a couple of weeks of sunshine which has been wonderful but apart from that all it ever does is rain! The flooding and mud problems we had when we very first took on the land last year is starting to rear its ugly head again also. We are currently looking into what we can do for drainage around the stables so we can at least keep the high footfall areas as dry as possible. Last year there were parts where you sank to your knees!

Hello @mechanics4all405 and thank you so much for your concern. Its crazy to think that our land ever even looked like this! This is just a quick 6 months time lap of the work hat we did and if you ever watch our vlogs then you'll see that they were never in any danger and that they are incredibly well looked after. We ended up on this land because we lost our old land quite suddenly and we couldn't find anywhere else. I had also rescued 3 colts from the slaughter house and was in a bit of a nightmare! The areas with the rubble and falling down side was fenced off each night when we left and was not accessible to the horses. There was nothing we could do about the mud as it was deep winter and our current vlogs are all about how we are tackling the mud in time for this years winter. Sometimes you are thrown into a situation where you have to just make do and appreciate what you have and this was one of those situations. Again thank you so much for commenting and for your concerns but they are always priority to me and I thought it would be good for people to see how you can make a bad situation into a dream one if you have hope and work really very hard.

@@EssentiallyLivingtheDream thanks for honest reply,and you can see the efforts you have put in,obviously first choice would be prepare land etc,then bring in livestock,as you have explaned your situation,and the standards are now good,I would like to congradulate you for all your efforts and acheivement.Thanks for honest reply❤❤❤❤❤good luck in future

Thank you so much@@mechanics4all405 its very much an ongoing project and I think it will take a few years to get to where it needs to be. Problem is we keep finding new problems! Its so tough when you're on a budget but I guess if we had unlimited funds then the horses would be living in custom built stables, but I don't think that would be as satisfying for us because it is so emotionally rewarding (as well as physically draining) to do it all yourself! 😃

@@EssentiallyLivingtheDream you are all doing great work,as a team,nice to see in this day and age❤❤❤❤❤
