The evolution of tools...


Cleaning up recently I came across my old "Yankee" spiral drill with a selection of bow-tie bits in the handle. :P

Have you trained 'em to shut the gate after themselves?

Hey Mulegena . . . all true but no se. Just finished a series of new corrals I'll share when Cookie, the pregnant mare moves in for her baby. Coming soon.
