Fridays Fences 2

Fridays Fences  is a new activity for me, but we'll see how it goes.

Not far from us, someone has bought an old farmhouse with barns etc and has spent a HUGE amount of money doing it up. Everytime we drive past there is something new. Haven't a clue what is going on there, but my guess is a horse stud. My DD reckons it is some middle eastern potentate who has bought it for a holiday shack for his race horses when he come to Australia once a year for the Oakbank races. LOL!!

They've  built a new stable? complex matching the original stone, planted mature trees, miles of post and rail fences, instant turf and so on and on.

Here are the entrance gates, not finished yet.

  4. This is definitely a "moneyed" entrance, isn't it? In Kentucky in U.S. we have quite a few Middle Eastern thoroughbred farm owners. They keep with the classic style of horse farm fencing, barns, etc.
