1456.0. "No More Barn Cleaning!!" by ISLNDS::GARROW () Tue Apr 23 1991 10:29

    This past winter I decided it was time to downsize to one horse.
     This meant find a home for my 17 yr old mare...which luckily I
    found her a great one.
    
    I now have one gelding and a walkout barn, and since I no longer
    have the mare I have not had to clean the barn.  He has certain
    spots in the corrall that he uses.  This was quite a suprise because
    I cleaned everyday and if I missed a day it was quite a mess!!
    
    I thought only Stallions did this!!  
    
    Needless to say, I was reluctant to sell my mare but the unexpected
    decrease in care was a nice suprise!!
    
    Now if I could just get him to stop rolling in the mud...

	My gelding has "chosen" spots in his corral, too! Makes cleanup a breeze....Now, if only my other gelding would follow suit.. Lynne

	I had a pony mare that was wonderful. She spot in one corner and that was it. Her stall was done in no time. I had a big gelding, his stall was always a mess. They are just like people. There are messy ones and there are the organized ones. Ha!
1456.4	my horses are neat too.	LUDWIG::ROCK		`Tue May 07 1991 13:04`	8
	Well I have 5 horses/ponies that are all neat. In the stalls and out side. they have special spots for going to the bathroom...and it makes it easy when you go into the field to chean up. On the other hand my SHEEP could take a lesson from the horses....they just leave the pellets all over the darn place!!! terry

	In my old stall cleaning days I remember 1 horse who was accused of being a real pig. Later I realized that he never stopped moving around in his stall. He may of done his business in 1 place but over time had everything all mixed like a blender.
