I’ve shared our barn setup before in a few longer blog posts, but I wanted to give it a space of its own for those just looking for a quick peek at where the ponies live.
This is the heart of our little farm, our colorful pony barn, the dry lot, pasture, and even the walking trails we use daily.
Whether you’re here for ideas or just love seeing how other small farms are set up, here’s a look at the spaces we’ve built for our herd. I’ve included extra photos too, just for fun!

THE BARN
We've got a 30×32 barn with a pink, purple, and soft blue interior, plus a small stall that can be heated in case of a health emergency or those extra-cold farrier appointments.

There’s also a dry lot, approximately 18,750 square feet, divided into two spaces so we can separate them if needed.
One side has access to a small lean-to, and the other opens to the main barn.
We’ve built hay stations designed to keep hay off the sandy ground, and I can easily wash these spaces with the garden hose.
The grass pasture—about 2.25 acres—is used for grazing mostly in the early mornings or late evenings, when sugar levels are hopefully a bit lower.
The flower garden is also now in the corner of the pasture, so I have a pretty spectacular view when watering, weeding, and flower-picking chores happen.
We also have a fun firepit spot and a little table centered in the pasture that's perfect for evening fires and lunch date picnics.

At the back of our property, we’ve kept up some simple trails where we take the ponies for walks.
It’s Cedar’s favorite spot—she loves a good farm-night stroll.
I also keep in magical with fairytale surprises.

And lastly, we have the most adorable little trailer that we restored for hauling when needed.
But honestly, we usually just pay the extra for farm calls, so nobody ever has to leave the farm.
