Finishing the back corner fence

 We had to finish the back corner of the fence today. We needed to rotate the horses back to our side and Bahloo might have gone through the gaps in the fence. She is more inquisitive than the others.
 We planted two more posts and I cut the notches and cut the bracers to fit. They weren't too bad nailing in, but a little tiring driving in 6 spikes one after the other.
 The corner with the bracers in place. We are ready to put the wire on. We had to use the wheeler for an anchor to pull the wire tight. There were no trees in the fence line that were close enough. We didn't get it as tight as we would have liked to. The wheeler wasn't really heavy enough and kept tipping as we tightened the wire.
We were racing the incoming storms, too. We got finished and everything put away just as the rain started. All the horses are back over here for a few days so the other pasture can grow out some.
