In the summer of 2012, I brought home a baby goat🥹😂 she was 3 days old and was an “oops” baby and well, the people she belonged to, were going to get rid of her, if you catch my drift😬 anyway, me, the animal lover that I am, wasn’t havin that so she came home with me. Haha surprise hubby! Were we going to build a barn for farm animals? No… not yet anyway … but did we? Yes, yes we did😂🤪
We didn’t plan on building it, so we salvaged lumber from dumpsters and built it on a shoestring budget. I distinctly remember thinking, I have a toddler and now a baby goat running thru my house, WHAT AM I DOING🤦♀️😂 a few years later, we added Mona to the pasture. My daughter was 2 at the time and like her mama, loved horses. And so did my then, 5 year old son. They’d asked for a horse and while I wasn’t ready to add a full size horse to the farm then, a pony would be perfect. So in 2016, the goat barn officially became the pony barn. The goats have since passed away, and Mona gained a pony friend in 2022. Mona and Flash now called this humble abode their home🖤🐴🖤
For my birthday a few years ago, we gave it a makeover and painted it black to match the rest of our barns. It wasn’t always here, but it has a story here and is here to stay✨
