Many Hands Make Light Work

Open Barn & Work Party this Weekend

Light work at a farm?  Is that an oxymoron, you ask?  Not necessarily.  We have a new shelter to put up.  While it is not a job requiring lots of muscle it does take a minimum of eight people to 'walk' it into place, so we could sure use your help down in Richmond on Sunday.   If you're good with heights there's a tarp that needs to be nailed to the roof of the outdoor stalls.  And of course if you were looking for something you could get your back into there's always gravel to move or ditches to dig.
Not that you need to work.  Open Barn will be running from 2-4pm and you're welcome to come down and practise your horsemanship and swordsmanship, or just socialize and hang out with horses!
