We got a lot of rain this weekend. It was still raining this morning when I snapped this shot from the deck; the arena is saturated. But the rain stopped this afternoon, so Russell and I went up and down the gravel road to condition and school. Gotta keep at it; our clinic is a week from today!

Still on track

I use our gravel road all the time in the winter and spring. It is wonderful to live on an 'almost' minimum maintence road. And we are the only ones that drive on it. It is amazing the things you can work on in that area. Straight lines can be over looked at times in an arena.
Hopefully your arena will dry out soon so you can get some practice in there as well.
Sounds like we live on very similar roads, Marie! There are a few more households on ours, but it is a dead-end so no through-traffic.
Michelle, I have a question about your arena. We are putting one in right now. The fence is there and the dirt is tilled up. Is yours sand or sand & dirt? And what do you drag it with? You can email me if you would rather in this. Thanks!
Kim, we started with level, packed dirt, then put in rock and drain tile (and later added another drain tile), and then put sand over that. Rick built a homemade drag with a wooden frame and a piece of hog panel. I keep the manure cleaned up, too.
Lovely set up you've got there!
