The Things Ya Do for Love

Doug and the girls
recently built a hay feeder for the horses.
He can build anything that has been built
and if it hasn't, he will make a design for one.


When finished, the feeder will feature a lid of sorts
with 3x4" squares to reduce the amount of hay
thrown on the ground and wasted.
It will sit atop the hay and will drop as the hay is eaten.
This should also slow their rate of consumption.
Pretty clever.


River of course was extremely fearful
of the new addition to the pasture,
until she realized it was not a predator
and that it was actually quite beneficial
to her favorite activity.


The feeder has since been shingled in a muted red.
The top is still in production
and we are debating paint color.

Love it! I have to admit seeing your hubby building makes me feel a twinge of pity. Kind of like Rick working till 8PM and back at it at 6AM. We are so blessed to have such wonderful men. The feeder is so awesome.
