Breeding Icelandic Horses for pleasure riding.
Haying keeps us busy in the summer.
Our baling equipment ready to go.
|
Once the field is cut it needs
|
Raking rolls the hay into winrows
|
 |
 |
|
to be tedded and raked to dry properly.
|
so that the baler can pick it up.
|
|
Here's the baler string going down east field
|
There is serious work back at the barn,
|
 |
 |
|
with half a wagon on. Its hot out there.
|
Unloading and stacking the hay. Its really hot in there.
|
|
East field half finished.
|
Clean field, never rained on, in the barn.
|
 |
 |
|
You can see the string at the far end.
|
900+ bales. This was a good afternoon..
|
|
After the baling day is done the crew relaxes with refreshments.
|
Nothing beats sitting on the farmhouse porch.
|
 |
 |
|
And a country dinner.
|
eating corn on the cob, chicken and all the fixings.
|
|
Even the cat gets a snack..
|
After ALL the haying is done we have a crew party.
|
 |
 |
Much feasting and good cheer celebrates the end of hay season!
Until next year, when we do it all again.
