Hey y'all, I'm new to the community, and I have just finished part of my estate,as well as moved in my first horse to the Training barn, with more to be moved in eventually. I wanted to make a photo album so you guys could see my updates, and meet some of the horses I'll be bringing into the game!  This is a picture of Done Trouble's Breeding Facility. It boasts 10 mare stalls with individual turn outs, 8 stallion stalls, with two stallion paddocks, 2 foaling stalls, a round pen for working with the new babies, and a hot walker for giving the stallions some exercise.   Then meet Aliza's pride and joy. You can read more about him once I finish up the website. this is DTR's Absolute Honor a mustang stallion, trained in the art of dressage. Once this week is over, and college starts to become normal, I hope to have lots of updates! |

I actually modeled this after a freisian farm in Conneticut, and decided that it'll be my central theme. Once I get a photo up of the training barn, you'll see it also has an octagon in it  |

So here is another photo of DTR's Absolute Honor  This time Aliza is leading him into the newly constructed stables.    And say hello to DTR's Limited Edition. This is a mustang mare that Aliza has just aquired, and is beginning training on. These photos here are of hte join up process, to help get the horse more aquainted to her. All of the mustang's Aliza gets come from an area of huge draft inflouence, so they are larger, with bigger feet incase you were wondering. |

I feel like I'm bumping my own thread >< But i have updates on my facility!  Heres that picture of my barn for the competition horses. Theres a small arena with training jumps, but with plenty of space on the outsides for regular schooling. Theres also 16 stalls, separated by two wings (one for mares and one for stallions). Theres two small turnouts for the horses, in rotations. Sadly a competition horse doesn't get much outdoor time because of potential injurys  .  And this is a work in progress of my Weanling/Yearling barn. Its an octagon barn with seven stalls, each getting their own individual turn out. It's clearly not done yet, I've done no landscaping or anything, and i need to put in a roundpen atleast, and maybe a small ring. But this is what I have so far. ^^ |

Thank you! I'm trying my hardest here lol. I want people to look at my horses and be amazed! Its hard though, I'm basing my whole story off one horse - JB Andrew, who a lot of people have no idea about, but that's where my horses get the concept of their conformation.
And as for the barn, I wanted a whole new style, not a typical barn, and well, for whatever reason I like octagons!

DTR's Limited Edition's coat is <3.
Also I think your's is the first octagonal barn I've seen on this site (though I may just be blind to the others lol). Just from the w.i.p photos it looks really interesting!

I'll have to post an indoor shot, allthough i am HORRIBLE at decorating ><. As long as it serves its purpose I'm okay with the barn haha.
I also haven't seen any octagonal barns, which is why I've incorporated them into each lot I'm building. I should be Octagon Farms, since I feel like its gonna be my trademark by the time I'm done lol

Inside shots would be awesome, decorated or not! I'm just interested to see how you laid out the inside.

Okay give me like 10 minutes. I'll have one up here! Update:  Okay, here's the inside. 7 stalls, 6 grooming stations (three of them have hoses so they can be used as washstalls). A small tack room in the middle. Fairly simple Could probably be improved |
