In February 2003 I received a very special gift.
After the completion of the annual Kinetic Equestrian Training Clinic held at our property Ian Stevenson click here for profile......... suggested that to help complete the type of equestrian training that was evolving here it would be beneficial to have the addition of a horse sized labyrinth.
The dilemma I had was where to put a labyrinth and how to keep it functional without losing precious grazing.
Most large labyrinths are grass with a mown strip that marks out the circuit.
As already mentioned I could not afford to lose any area of pasture and certainly didn’t need the extra work of mowing a labyrinth each week.
The only feasible solution was to partially dig in the cherry wood logs that had been cut down 2 years previously when the arena went in, to mark out each circuit of the labyrinth.
No loss of grazing, no mowing, happiness all round.
So with Ian dousing, the help of some friends and of course Ian telling us where to place pegs and tape, his idea became a reality.
Below is a series of photos showing our 7 circuit labyrinth in the making.
Thanks Ian. The horses, my family and I and everyone that has so far ridden or walked it, loves our labyrinth.
