Finaly my wagonette is home!!!

So at last I'm the proud owner of a 4 wheeled waggon. Last night we had a 11 houers long drive to get it home. I've bougt it from a german company - so it hawe been on a long transportation to get here.
I'm so pleaces wit it, the photos does it no justice - you just have to se it live to se all the pretty details, and perfect color kombinations. The steel is in a deep dark brown color, combined with the wood it's stunning!


I'ts a medium sice Wagonette. It is suitable for bout one and two horses. "Imagine tinker horses in front of it" hollala
The wood is in perfect kondition, and you may almoust use it as a mirrow;)


Brakes on all 4 wheles, and a hand brake for parking.

I love the detail with the door at the back.

So ai't it beautifull???
I'm so looking forwards to trying it out.. to bad there are so much other things that has to be done to.
And if you shoud be themted to own a waggon like this youre selfe... let me know, I'll put you in contact with my friend who helped me get it to Norway. (He migth be abel to deliver it to other countryes in Europe to)

An update on my stable

FINALY - after 3 years of waiting, planning, waiting and waiting my stable is starting to look like a stable. I newer imagined that it was so much work to be done - and as you can see, there is still at lot more to do. Jupp it needs a roof and doors;) And then there is the water... and ligth...

Lacoste and Corny has already mowed innside. I just had to start using it, knowing that there is absolutly no hope of getting any help form hubby at this time of the year.
( he is a sheep owner, and spends almoust all his time in the mountain looking after the missing ones, ore in the fieels lokking how pretty the lambs has been during the summer;) I'ts a deciese- worse than any horse lover behaive!!)
The building is 9x18 meters. On this side there are 3 induvidual stables. One of them is large. And it has two doors. The boys will be living here in winter time, beeing able to go inn and out as they want. Next to the building on this side there will be a smaal traning area.Up front.. There will be som more walls here. It will be a storage place for hay, and a place where I can wash the horses.
The largest room inside. This is the mares "home" Jupp, it will have doors - but the mares will be able to go inn and out as the want. They will be feed on the floor - putting their heads throu the "wall" My own pattent. I'm so woundering if it will work out.
Her is the middle of the stable. Going in and out for the induvidual stables, and also works as an eating area for the mares. It is a bit wider than it looks like in the photo.
Tack room... a lot of more work to be done her to....

Its fall.. soon the horses will be like big muddy teddy bears. I expect that the fall rain will set in soon now. But that's OK.. my 3 years long, building a stable prodject is alomoust done. At least it has walls and a rof. So the horses are free to go innside when ever they want to!!
Two of the foals are seperating from theire mums now. Shirly because her mum went to a new home, and then Betty to keep her company.
Well.. back to the photos. We had som lovely days this weekend - I vent bananas with the camera.
