No Man's Land

by Ponyess
It all started out in the barn, as I stumbled on the filly, I recognized as Apple Jack, an earth type pony. I could but take care of her. Not just because I live on a farm, but I can't just leave her unattended? A filly needs to be cared for.

I live in central U.S., Kansas, just by the road to the Natural Wild Life Preserve. I had found it rather convenient.

Once I had inherited the lands, I built a rather large ranch on what's now my lands. I had intended to breed Horses on my lands, then I had opted for a smaller orchard. The rest of the lands, will be some lush forest. For as much as that will be. I did not have all that much left, after I had set up the pastures, and the small orchard by my house.

I had taken the tine, preparing all the pastures since it is the basis of what my ranch is all about. That started with removing all the soil, before I lay out new in an even layer, just thick enough for all the grasses. Then I had selected seeds for all the right grasses, thus making up the menu of the Ponies intended to live with me. I had then built scattered hills, where I planted selected trees.

Holes had been drilled, then the land had been marked, and fences created. Then I had connected the fence to my electricity, keeping my Ponies on the pasture chosen. Just as it keeps most others out.

Then I had built the barn, and stables for each of the pastures. Incidentally, the stables are in three floors, starting with the main ground level, where I am to keep large Horses, the second is where I will hold small Ponies. On the top floor, I keep all the feed.

At this point, I had managed to select a few small herds of chosen Ponies and Horses, I had managed to buy in for the ranch. Two stables had been filled up. I had laid the water line, so they have water, and I had managed to buy in all the required feed for about half a year. Naturally, I had chosen only fillies. They are all about two years of age. Now happily munching away, as they stand on the pastures.
