New Toy

Well, the weather conspired against our play session in the end so I decided that I wouldn't waste the time and sat in the entrence to the Hay Barn (with the door wide open) and spent some UDT with my heard whilst making a new obstacle for our play session (if it ever stops raining!!).

I have been thinking about making a 'carwash' lately as I am going to be doing some 'HorseAgillity' days with Bella this spring/summer. So what better time?

Ingredients:
  • 2 complete (tall) electric fence posts
  • 2 (tall) electric fence posts with the spikes broken of (courtesy of the pony's!!)
  • lots of baling twine
  • two long foam swimming floats cut into a 3 bits each (6 pieces in total)
  • a washing line (I chose bright pink ;) )
  • scissors

What to do:
  1. Tie one broken pole to the top of one complete pole to make it taller. Do this twice.
  2. Tie a length of washing line to the tops at the width you want to make it
  3. Take each of the section foam swimming floats, put a hole through it near the top using scissors or a knife, and thread through either baling twine or a small length of washing line and tie the the main line so they hang at the required height
  4. Repeat above till you have done all the sections.
  5. You can even leave it like this or do what I am going to and tie on lengths of the washing line or fine rope to simulate vines etc
TA DA One 'Carwash' !!! and it is light and easy to move :)
