The Barn Fairy

Did you know that if you send/bring saddle pads during the season, they are given special priority? So no worries if you want them back right away, they will be ready ASAP just like any other time 😉

If you need an instruction sheet or inventory sheets for your barn, please let me know! I can email those to you.

Please remember, not all pickups are hub barns. Check with the barn before you decide to go dropping stuff off all w***y nilly! I try to state who the barn contact is in the description of the event.

I have a lot of blankets on site already, thank you! If I could just get the Nikwax warehouse in Detroit on board with sending us our soap that would be amazing...anyhoo...moving freely forward as they say, I have a day, day and a half of blankets to look at before I have nothing to do, so its fine, I'm fine, everything is fine. I can make some more Wuffcoats while I wait, sure, yeah, I'll do that.

Hi, you don't need to ask, 14 years and counting. Yeah, I'm still here! I made the investment in equipment, I know how to do this.

Let's go!

Good morning fair people of East Tennessee!!

It is springing, the daffodils are blooming, the stinky pear trees and red buds too, it might get cold a few more times, but if you are starting to think about cleaning the stinky, muddy blankets out of your barn I am scheduling and accepting blankets.

The electronic inventory sheet was a pretty big hit last season, we tweaked it and are working on it still. Both it and the traditional one are still pinned to the top of the page.

Please remember these simple things :

1. If you plan to drop off at a farm, please make sure it is OK with that farm.

2. You are responsible for labelling and inventory of your items, that way you should remember you sent them.

3. Do not label the outside of a bag; label each blanket. Please don't do any of that fancy folding crap from the video. You can do that when you get them back.

4. There is no need to remove leg straps or tail straps, they are probably nasty aren't they?

5. You must pay AND pickup your stuff within 30 days of the invoice date or it will be considered abandoned and I will sell them if you ignore me.

I have started filling out the calendar! If I have assigned a date to your farm that will not work, please contact me. If you wish to pick a date for your pickup, please remember that for farms within 50 miles of me the minimum is 20 blankets. If your farm is outside that perimeter please consider becoming a "hub" farm (there is a fee per customer).

If you need labelling instructions I will be happy to email you the instruction sheet or mail you a laminated one to hang in your barn. They will be posted here soon as well.

I will be accepting blankets for the regular season as soon as we are having consistent overnight highs above 40, the drying shed is not insulated and your blankets will just get stinky again if they freeze repeatedly instead of drying. Late March to Mid April I assume...until then; as always, I will take one or two that need an emergency repair, if you want to bring them to me.

Hopefully I didn't just jinx us! 😁

That's Token's medium....

Here's to hoping the whistle pig is wrong again!

My calendar is supposedly to be delivered Tuesday so I will get to work scheduling. The mini shows are two in June and the long one in September, which seems ultimately doable but a little hairy missing that much drying time right in the middle... but just that much more time to get stuff turned around before June, right? 😁

Zora is silently judging everyone who skipped last year. We look forward to seeing you in March or April!

So if you are a friend on my personal page, you know that I had a meltdown today. Truth is, I have been building this business and a reputation as The Barn Fairy for fourteen years. During that time, I have had people steal my business name twice and my business idea so many times I can't even count them. Anyway, all this to say, I appreciate every client that has stuck with me all these years. I hope you will continue to stick around in 2025. I will be working on the I 81 schedule soon , I still need to buy a calendar to map it out on.

Hey all! I will have a SmartPak sheet and an Amigo medium w/hood both size 75 available for sale. There is a third sheet that is not waterproof as well. Will get pictures tomorrow, they will be offered here before FB at large.

These blankets were abandoned by their owner; and for the record I held them for over 100 days awaiting payment and sent multiple reminders, verified and have proof in writing that the owner authorized the barn manager to send them to be cleaned.

The total bill due was about $100.

Just a reminder, It is my policy to only hold items for 30 days (either paid or unpaid) after they are clean, before they are considered abandoned.
