Why do horses …

Never poo when you are waiting to take a fresh sample for a worm count?

Normally poo as soon as get into stable. Today a good hour and a half in which time I took the dog for a walk, poo-picked my field, did tomorrows haynets, fed the yard cat, petted the yard cat and sat looking at my phone before he finally dropped one.

Oh yes, I can relate to that, too.

Get 3 x neds in early am and await poops to be packaged up and posted in time to catch the mid morning collection. And await some more...

You should have put him out in the freshly poo-picked paddock. Something about putting away the poo fork makes B desperate to go

Mine used to always poo if I put the travel boots on. Easy to make use of for collecting samples.

When ours was living out 24/7 in a fairly large herd he just would not poo when it was worm count time. All the others would be done but he knew he was being watched and just wouldn’t go. Eventually the yard owner resorted to hiding in the trees so he couldn’t see her

I know someone who loads hers in the lorry at poo count time. She doesn't even need to close the partition- the minute they're up the ramp they perform.
