Oh my gosh! I love this! Thats a great use of the space by the SkyRide, I didn't realize that they weren't going to be in the actual Highland Stables, but I guess they really can't share their pasture with the Clydesdales.
Silly Question but... these will also be taken back out to their larger grazing pasture during off hours correct? Oh and thanks chickenking for the link. I love short write-ups so I can get the gist of things.
I hope that they get a nice "house" than that...in years to come. I know that this is a new addition and was probably put together, with some quickness...but, when compared to the amazing stables at Heatherdowns...this looks...cheap. BTW, is the skyride behind this grazing area, part of Scotland or England? If it is part of Heathdowns..could construction be added..to give the appearance of a large barn? or stable? I've always wished that the Skyride stations were themed.
Keep in mind, the stables that the animals stay in as their actual home are very similar to the ones the cows use by the sky ride station. As long as the animals are comfortable it shouldn't matter how fancy their shelter is.
Also note, this nice little shelter helps to keep the quaint and simplistic feel of the park. Don't over complicate things just because it seems too simple.
