Farm

A Sapelo Sunset...

Sapelo (pronounced SAP-eh-low) was the name of my grandparent's home.

I thought it sounded good attached to "Appaloosas."

Sapelo Appaloosas...

And that's how I named my farm.

Sapelo consists of 40 acres, with 35 of those acres currently dedicated to hay fields.

The two barns that house the horses are creatively described as

"The Old Barn" and "The New Barn".

The Old Barn was built of native lumber in the early 1920's. During its history this barn has provided shelter for dairy cattle, feeder steers, pigs, and even turkeys. It is now constantly undergoing conversion to more efficiently house horses.
	Built in 1997, the New Barn boasts a 12x16 foaling stall (with closed circuit TV), six 12x12 box stalls, attached wooden paddocks for snacking on, a heated tack room and rest room, and a heated "water closet" for the pump and hose.
