Sadie Acres Fitness Center

I've never been a huge fan of going to the gym, I'd much rather get my exercise outside doing something active.  Running things here at Sadie Acres, getting my workouts in each day is never a problem!  

Each morning I feed all of the animals and clean the horse stalls.   

Denali is getting used to the horses and the horses are growing to like her.

Sadie loves to grab the shovel and carry it around, but she hasn't quite figured out how to actually use it!

Denali is going to be so mad when she's too big to crawl between runs while I'm cleaning.

Horses love to get their water nice and dirty so emptying and cleaning water tanks is a regular job.   

Sadie and Denali have become good buddies.

Rowdy loves to play in the water!

Stocking up on feed is probably the most active barn activity.  At either 40 or 50 lbs per bag and hay bales at 80 lbs, loading, unloading and stocking the feed room provides quite a work out!

Being the neat-freak that I am, it's an ongoing effort to keep the barn clean! My spring cleaning day was the my highest step day according to my fitbit!

 

It's a lot of work, but the most fun "job" I've ever had, and think of the money I save on a gym membership!
