Poor Senter, he doesn't grow a thick, fuzzy coat like all the other horses, so he needs some shelter from the elements even in our mild Virginia winters. But, being a stallion, he also likes to be able to see everything that's going on everywhere. So this shelter is perfect---it protects him from the wind and rain, but doesn't block his view.
Ken did a great job with building this, even though he's not super experienced at carpentry. I had a lot of input on the design, but Ken pretty much did all the building himself. It's just a simple frame of pressure-treated lumber with a heavy-duty tarp roof. All told, the whole thing cost us less than $300.
Senter already appreciates his new house. Here he is supervising while Ken gets ready to put the roof on:
And here he is enjoying his first meal in the newly completed digs:
Home, sweet home:
Ken did a great job, Nancy! Hope Senter appreciates the effort.
