    Bucket pallet forks

    the stabilizer bar is just about a necessity because the forks will not stay straight. a chain over the bucket on each fork tightened with a binder makes the forks fairly safe and keeps them from getting loose.

    Building my Fence

    horses will eat next to the fence if you do not energize it. the likely hood of catching a foot in the barbed wire is 100 % over a five year period. they will get in a wire under 10 inches from the ground if you wait long enough.

    Bolt on pallet forks

    Round pen drainage

    i almost have a crown on my pen with just a few degrees down on one side and the sand will flow down hill. 18 inches will not make it easy to work your animal. it may drain but you will cuss it. you want the horse to work naturally and a slope will interfere with commands. also horses...

    Round pen drainage

    with very much fall your sand will always wash out. also dont forget that there will always be a worn area from working your stock that will hamper drainage if you dont have a french drain and tile.

    i worked at a phone building that had diesel that had been stored since 1952. the big ol cat generator sucked a valve in the ice storm of 2003 and they installed a new generator. 20,000 gal fuel was pumped out and distributed to other phone buildings because it cost less that a dime per gallon.
