The rusted beams, worn wooden siding, peeling paint, and a distinct smell that is all too familiar makes the barn my favorite place with my horse, Curly. It is my favorite because my world becomes just the two of us. The barn is the most fulfilling place, but it also has a component that makes it lonely, a feeling like we are the only ones in the world even when other people surround us. When I am with my horse, my world is shrunk down to the space that my horse and I are in.
The barn has so many things that make it unique and special to me. The shadows that the light coming though the windows and cracks in the walls make are unique to the barn. The barn is the only place in the world where the shadows are like that. The light dances along the floor and walls; it makes a dark and dingy barn look like it has crystals reflecting the light. The hallway between the stalls has multiple crevices where the dirt and dust settle in. Some people would be grossed out by the amount of dust/dirt. I find it peaceful. The dirt shows that it is well loved and used. The cobwebs on the ceiling give it a rustic appeal. The ceilings are also home to barn swallow nests and are they ever territorial. They come swooping down at such fast speeds the horses get spooked by them.
What is barn with out a pasture? It is just a building, with no character. The pasture gives the lone building character. When the horses are out in the pasture they clump together around on another or around the hay bails. The pasture isn’t in the best shape as it is very rocky. It is not the green rolling fields that some would equate with horse barns. The rocks make it hard for grass to grow and at the same time add character, contrast and a sense of being well love and used to the pasture. The other barns that I have been at have the green rolling hills; with this barn the different types of ground make it unique from other barns. The area
