Preparing Apache's Back Paddock


While Apache enjoys the main paddock, her favorite paddock is at the far west end of the property. There are several tall pinon trees inside that paddock for shade as well as my neighbor's barn alongside the shared fenceline. Apache likes hanging out there with her 3 horses and 1 alpaca.
But there was a lot of dead and overgrown juniper and pinon trees that needed removing before I felt comfortable letting Apache into that back paddock after having her right eye removed.

So, I spent a couple days clearing and cleaning up the back paddock using my Corona saddle saw, Fiskars folding saw and a pair of trimmers.

The following photos show the before and after efforts of all my hard work.

Everything that came off the trees that I trimmed! I made quite a big pile, which required several trips to the transfer station where they sent it through their chipper to make mulch.
