Can you guess where we are?  Are we in Provence?  No, it just looks like Provence.  Shelley competed in a horse show at Clairmont Show Stables right here in central Alabama, about seven miles from where we live! Clairmont is a lovely barn, and they're fantastic hosts.  You can see photos of the pretty barn above.  (Yes, they are photos of the barn!)

  3. Way to go Shelley - congrats on the blue ribbon (and all the others).

    What a gorgeous barn. I only twigged after a few photos that it was indeed a barn. I would happily move in (well if the horses move out that is). By the way, how do you get your horse down there?
