This Week at Derbyshire - Stable Grand Opening Tour

It's been a little while since the last post on here, but that's because it's been quite a whirlwind week at Derbyshire! Our Stable Grand Opening is this evening, and everyone has been working very hard to finish up the final details our our beautiful new stable! Below are a few pictures of the finished project. Please visit again on Monday to see pictures of the event tonight and the official ribbon cutting. Oh, and I'm sure we'll have some of the pups from Foothills too!

 

The lantern over the front entryway runs on natural gas. Derbyshire actually offers natural gas to all of the homesites in the community, provided through PSNC.

All of the main exterior doors were handcrafted by Randy Greenway, a local woodworker. He is the same gentleman who created our front gates. The front doors of the barn at ten feet tall and weigh approximately 400 lbs each. 

These are the side doors to the barn. The back doors feature the same style with the crossbucks. 

This is the beautiful sixteen foot wide center aisle. The Derbyshire Community Stable features eleven 12x12 matted stalls. 

 

The Derbyshire Community Stable also features Woodstar stall systems. 

We've added a beautiful wrought iron chandelier to accent the large aisle.

 

This is the indoor wash bay at the stable, and there is also one located outside. Not pictured here are the feed room, tack room, bathroom, and kitchen.

This Week at Derbyshire - New Neighbors & Stable

This was a very busy week in our community for several families, as well as the Derbyshire team. Our new residents from Pennsylvania are still settling into their home after their move last week, and their new neighbors from California just arrived on Sunday. To help everyone get to know each other better we hosted a small lunch on Monday for everyone who was new to the community. They had a chance to take a break from unpacking boxes and grab some great food that didn't come from the pizza delivery guy (although he seems to be everyone's favorite person right now!).

The horses at the Derbyshire Community Stable are growing accustomed to their new home and to spending their days out in the front paddock. If you look closely, you can see them in the back there. We've learned that they need their privacy and that they insist on moving as far away from the camera as possible!

One of the most exciting things that happened this week was the rock work on the front of the new community stable. We're finishing the final touches so that we're ready for the Grand Opening Tour on August 3rd from 3-6PM.

Everyone is welcome to come and see the new facility and visit with the dogs that they Foothills Humane Society will be bringing with their "On The Road Team". We've learned that equestrians also have a soft spot for canines, and we thought that this would be a great opportunity to try and find some very sweet dogs new homes.

We have plenty of interesting events and news coming up, so check back next week!
