A couple months ago I was offered a free lease on a friends horse. The only problem is we have no fenced area for her to go. So I started trying to figure out costs and equipment that would be needed to make my dream finally become a reality. When Ed and were talking about how and where I told him we would need fence posts, wire and post pounder - all he said was no we don't, just go get fencing wire. So I stood there a little disappointed and he said don't worry, we'll make a fence.
Off we went around the property cutting down the dead pine, limbing and cutting it to length. We dragged the poles back behind the tractor and the quad and got to work.
Look at the beautiful fence!
Turns out Ed repaired and built many a "Russel" fence when he worked on the farm back in Ontario

| Dylan loves to help build the fence - part of it is he really wants to have a horse too - I told him get in line I've waited longer ! Just kidding I'm excited they can experience horses and such a young age. |
It has taken alot of evenings and help from the kids (one of the many projects they do when I am at work in the evenings) and our friend Mike, but he is almost done. It looks so wonderful and fits in with the rustic feel I want the property to have.
One day soon my dream will become reality.
