I am a miserable builder unfortunately, so I'd be useless help, but I wanna say: looks great so far!!

I dunno which windows you mean, but so far I really like the layout.

Thanks guys Will post updates soon! I meant the windows of the upper story, those big ones, but I already work on replacing them since I don't really like them. Currently also working on the upper barn, there Emelia and her sister will live Anyone has an Idea for a color scheme? I always have the problem that my stables are either too light / bright and modern and then I don't like them after a short time anymore, or they are too dark, which I actually like but it looks sinister and dark with time... I'm struggling to find something in between...

Brick & wood together give a classic finish.

I have that at old marigold and find it a bit too dark for my taste when using it longer... I thought about creamy wood but I'm not quite sure about that. I'll check back later with pictures of the colors and everything.

I meant using a light stone with a dark wood:)

I updated the pictures, finally. Now everything looks a lot more clean, I prefer it that way I'm not good at editing manes and such, I wish I was but I never have the patience. Also I feel like it would be cheating about how everything truly looks. Now I see that I photographed from the wrong side - Amanda from MSE has made an awsum-fancy saddlepad for me <3 Paige, light stone is actually a very good idea, I tried something in a shade of light coral and it didn't looked that bad. I don't want to use white though. But for the moment I will stay at the old facility, as long as there's enough place for everyone... That way I can take my time with building and furnishing.

Great shots, especially the last picture is awesome. And finally I get to see your momentary facilities. They look great!

Thank you both Ann, the facility has several parts, you can see a floor plan of the stables on my website. Also, this is how the smaller stables look: Those stables have an more open layout... I think about doing similar ones for the new facility. Emelia (riding MAE's Faraway Kingdom) and Elaina (riding MAE's Before My Time) on trail.

Thanks, Ann Glad you like it, I hope you like the new one too. It's way bigger and I even try to fiddle with CAW because no other neighbourhood fits my needs - so I had to do one myself. Imagine it to be an Island in a Lake or a wide River, not in the sea. I will also still add more sidewalks in the style of trails, not like the ones that are there already. There will be a lot more nature, and I plan on maybe attaching a bridge so it doesn't looks that... Well, lonely

That's kinda what my new facilities look like, too. I created a world a bit like riverview. Only that I have My Stables and a Riding Academy facing each other. I'll try to upload pics on Friday, when I get back from my holidays. But I really like the layout of your main stables. I like these closed off areas, like you often have them in old German stables. <3
