The barn is located
to the rear of the Castle. The barn is behind a screening wall of Ancient
Spruce trees. There is a space between the trees with a road leading to
the barn for hay deliveries and such.
The barn is an
old stone building that is able to hold up to sixty horses. There is a
cobblestone corridor running down the middle of the barn. The stalls are
arranged down both sides of the corridor. The stalls are each 10'x10' and
are lined in wood, they are also filled with saw dust. The first room that
you see on the left is the tack room. When you walk in the first thing
you notice is that it is very neat. All of the tack is well taken care
of. You smell the scents of leather and Murphys Oil Soap for cleaning the
saddles. Each saddle is on its own rack with the name of the horse it belongs
to, under the saddle hangs the bridle.
When you wander
through the barn you notice the numerous cats cleaning themselves on particulars
stalls, like the cat has chosen a specific horse. Also there are three
white geese wandering around, they are the alarm system. If someone doesn't
belong they attack and start honking. At the far end of the barn is a ladder
leading up to the loft.
As you climb
the ladder you smell the sweet smell of hay. Once you are in the loft you
notice the hay bales are arranged so that there are hidden areas. Perhaps
one of the harem members has brought the Master up here? (It wasn't me!
*you can tell I'm lying through my teeth*). There are two doors in the
loft one at each end of the barn. If you look out the back door you will
see acres of pasture and all the horses placidly eating.
If you look out
the front door you can see the Castle peeking over the tops of the spruces.
When you come back down the ladder and walk out the back door of the barn
there is an area off to the right for washing the horses. Feel free to
claim a horse and use the loft whenever you like.
