I'm very happy to report that the arena sand has arrived, been spread, and is looking fabulous! It needs a few good soaking rains to get the spread out sand to shift and settle a bit, then I'll get after it with the tractor and arena sand harrow to fluff the top 3-4 inches. In the meantime it's plenty deep and makes for good cardio when walking through it!
I took out the Pivo this morning and rode Dewey with the dogs to check out how the sand had dispersed after the delivery guy had spread it with his skidsteer this week.
The dogs were very excited to get out and work a bit -it's been in the upper 90s here this week with significant humidity (compared to Colorado!) so too hot to really work the horses or the dogs. But this morning was really nice and all four of us enjoyed ourselves.
We also went around the trails after we'd investigated the arena, and I couldn't resist taking a couple photos as we hacked around the pond.
After going through the woods at the back side of the house we get to the open area along the perimeter of the property. It adds another loop to the walk to hack back through the field. Dewey said the bugs were kind of bad through the taller grass (deer flies are no joke!) but otherwise it was a nice walk in the cool morning air.
