2 to argue then move it to the Stable Yard section.

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about mucking out stables.

5 to flame the spell checkers.

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames.

6 to argue over whether it's "Muckout Stable" or "Muck Out Stable" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "Skipping out stalls"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "Muck Out" is perfectly correct.

19 to post that this forum is not about mucking out stables and to please take this discussion to a forum that specially deals with mucking out stables.

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all muck out stables at some point and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.

36 to debate which method of mucking out stables in superior, where to buy the best bedding and tools, what brand of bedding is best for this technique and what brands are no good at all.

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different tyoes of bedding and tools.

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes mucking out relevant to this group.

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the Mucking Out Stables controversy.

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on Mucking Out Stables before posting questions about Mucking Out Stables"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

:D
 
Absolutely fantastic, PMSL :D

Just the tonic needed after picking poo out of hair as a result of high velocity winds making the task of transporting said defecatory waste to storage facilty almost impossible! :D
 
Brilliant. :D How about adding "2 users to get infractions for insulting other users' beds" and "1 user to get smartarse and add extra bits to an already perfect post" ? :o
 
Thanks for brightening my otherwise miserable day (one lame horse, one horse found to have wrecked another's rug, rain/wind, car dashboard lights flashing away at me one of which says "Stop" :eek:) :):o:)
 
4 to post what the correct clothing is to wear to muck out

3 to ask where said clothing can be bought

2 to ask if it is correct to muck out in the morning or in the evening

1 to say dont bother just deep litter
 
Thanks! made me smile on a miserable day.

Although you did miss out:

1 complaining that NP was rude to the pitchfork when mucking out and it shows she's not a true horse lover as she dumped the unwanted muck onto a trailer without trying first to turn it back into fresh straw or looking at it from the muck's point of view...
