Time to upgrade the horse trailer
Back in the good old days of horse ownership, we had one horse, Finn. Finn is a mustang from the Palomino Butte herd here in Oregon. Finn has been Heather’s horse for a few years now and I think he really enjoyed being the “only child”. Before Finn, Heather owned a handful of other horses,…

Every old farm needs a new septic system
When buying property, there are a few very important systems that you need to have checked that the average suburban or city home owner will never need to deal with.
