beginning the sand ring expansion first thing this morning
|
looking out of the bottom of the sand ring towards the small show ring in the background
|
we're leaving the small tree on a little "island" - it will be the instructor's shade tree!
|
|
sand ring expansion well along - the dirt on the left in the foreground is topsoild filling in a low spot in the "Avenues" riding area
|
this is fill in the low spot on the "Avenues" - we'll have grass growing there by next summer
|
looking up from the bottom corner of the sand ring where it used to be wet after a rain
|
|
bulldozer pushing hard
|
looking back towards the bottom end of the sand ring - you can see the reseeded part of "Hilltop" in the immediate foreground
|
bottom corner of the sand ring where it used to get wet and where we will now have a drainage ditch
|
|
the total area of the enlarged sand ring will be almost double what it was this past summer.
|
|
This picture gives a good idea of how much we've increased the size of the ring.
