Another New Pasture

 Last Saturday afternoon, while I was at a bridal shower at our church, DH pulled and adjusted the spacing of the gate posts that the latch goes on for pastures 4 & 6 (reason this was needed is mentioned in this post). He also put in the gravel pads at both gates.  And he bought the parts for and installed the remaining jump wires so now all my electric fence tape is live.  He was a productive guy!

On Sunday after church we installed the latches on both of those adjusted posts.

Which meant that now I could move the two mares, the Poetess and the LBM, into a new pasture with better grazing than the one they'd been in.

Of course, with moving to a brand new, never before been in pasture, comes excitement!  And running!

The Poetess ran circles around the perimeter of the pasture for about 3 minutes longer than the LBM did (being as the LBM much prefers eating to running) before settling in to taste the new grass buffet in front of her.

Needless to say, they are very happy with their new pasture.  As am I.  There is a little tweaking of the fenceline common to pasture 3 and pasture 4 to be done yet, then I will be able to say our fencing/pasture project is finally complete.  What a huge thing to be able to cross off our to-do list.
