My dear horse,

You know how much I love you, how I spend all my hard earned money on you and your whims, all my spare time looking after you. Well, could I ask just one teeny, weeny, favour in return?

Every night I provide you with a nice clean bed to sleep on. You are a small horse, you have a big stable. There is plenty of room for your body and your droppings. WHY, therefore, do you HAVE to lie down directly on your own poo, every single night? I love seeing you in the morning, but when your face and neck are plastered in soiled bedding, and your rug has a large damp circle on the side, to be honest, my heart sinks.

It is starting to affect my marriage. My husband can't understand why reeking stable rugs have to go through the washing machine quite as often as they do. It can't be nice for you. It REALLY isn't nice for me. Please, please, just lie down somewhere other than on top of your pile of droppings. PLEASE!!!!!!

Your loving owner/slave

My horses boyfriend always absolutely stinks when i go up in the morning! his owner basically uses a different sheet every night. hes dreadful! and hes a black spotted appoloosa so brown stains are very clear lol. greatful i have a dark bay for these moments!!!
 
I always put B's haynet in the same corner of the stable, and as she stands there the entire night munching away on it there's a nice uniform poo pile in the opposite corner where her bum has been all night, and well away from the middle where she lies down. Your horses are just too active and not greedy enough

I have no hope with George, he just poos everywhere, mixes it with copious amounts of wee, then lies in it and looks proud! I was very bored this am when mucking out at 5.30am and I counted 16 poos in his bed (he went into a clean stable at 7pm the previous night), in the half an hour I was mucking out etc. he did 2 more in the yard (not small ones either, more like elephant dropppings!) - this horse has seriously overactive insides - so I sympathise entirely!
