Wish me luck,,,

Hay thanks for all the good wishes, guys!! The farm is in Warsaw, Ohio, which is about 60 miles north of Columbus. Its actually in a *tiny* little town(I use that term loosely!) called West Bedford. West Bedford consists of exactly ONE building, a deli/bakery/general store with ONE gas pump. I will be building a 6 stall barn in August. I have 4 horses and all of mine will be turned out with a run-in shed 99% of the time, so I will be taking racehorse layups. Thought I'd try to advertise at Scioto Downs first; Standardbreds are easier to take care of then Thoroughbreds(at least that has been my experience)I will post some pix as soon as I can. I don't have my closing date yet and the people currently living there are being evicted and are not real happy about me hanging around. As soon as I close I will be having new fencing installed. Haven't picked a farm name yet. Was going to name it "Magnolia Farm", but then any endurance horses I raised and wanted to have my farm name would be "MF whatever". Thought about "Willow Tree Farm", but then they'd be "WTF whatever". Oh well, something(not x-rated) will come to me!!

Later,
Suzanne(I had SS, but WTF happened to NoBiz?? No excuses there)

congrats again on your purchase. hopefully you'll close soon and then the REAL work begins.

i don't suppose you could call it 'minemineallmine farm'???

I think Willow Tree Farms is great! Just think of the eye-catching name recognition you'd get....Free advertising (almost as good as AFLAC) Just have someone with you at the place,cuz you never know about the "evictees"

I still keep an eye open for Scioto occaisionally, so let us know if you have any horses running there. Maybe you can get a good enough horse or two to run at the Delaware County Fair?

Good luck with it either way...
