Your horses, are they 'tidy' in the stable, or trashers?!

1 absolute trasher. As he gets older it gets worse as he can't lift his back legs as high, so everything gets dragged around all night :rolleyes: 1 medium - relatively clean wee and poo but tends to drag hay everywhere and spills water. 1 clean boy - he just stands in the same place eating all night :p

lol I'd say by reading all these there are more 'trashers' than 'tidies' :D

To balance it out, my first pacing mare was borderline OCD. There were quite specific toilet areas, and these were completely separated from her eating area. She couldn't bear to stand on wet or dirty straw whilst eating...it had to be dry underfoot!

I also work with a pacer called Sammy, and he leaves me a mound of poo which is always in the same place. It's about a foot square, so the rest of his stable is spotless!
 
Rio is very clean and only poos on one side. Taz however is the biggest skank known to man he poos everywhere and then box walks so it gets mushed in to everything and you also cant hang rugs in his stable as he pulls them down and pee's on them... seriously hes horrible to much out -.-
 
We've got 2 tidy and one trasher - his stable looks like there's been an all-night party in it! The banks are pulled down, holes dug down to the matting and wee and poo mixed up and buried in the straw! The other one on straw looks like he's hardly been in there, banks all neat and 3 poos sitting on top of the bed :D

3rd one is on shavings and isn't too bad at all.

Have to say though, the trasher was much better at old yard where he had a corner stable twice the size of a normal one - he had bed across half of it, and because the door, his hay and water were all on the bare matting he would stand there and poo, so only had to get wet out of the bed. This is also the horse that has to be on straw as when tried on shavings would pull all his hay out of the net onto the floor and wee and poo on it instead of the shavings :mad:
 
Emil is a nightmare!! anywhere between 2 and 4 barrows A NIGHT!!
luckily he doesn't kick it around too badly, its just the volume of 'both'
 
:D and this ^^^ is why every single one of my horses live out :)

Not because I am some kind of tree hugging fluffy bunny that thinks out is best, it is because I hate, loathe and detest cleaning stalls, after decades of mucking out I have had enough and refuse to play any longer ;):)
 
Tidy boy even though he pees and poos for Scotland! He does tend to poo all in one place (opposite his haynet, funny that :rolleyes: :p) and he's deep littered so wet isn't an issue really.

I once had a mare who had a half bed in a huge stable, she very conveniently did all her toileting on the concrete so a broom, a shovel and 5 minutes were all that was needed to muck her out!
 
One very tidy boy :D Poos in one corner, wees in the other. Although he used to manage to pile all his poos up and then stand against it, stains all down his white legs :rolleyes:

Couple of years ago I briefly had an ID, who was very nervous, the first morning I walked into his stable, I swear the largest piece of poo was no more than a 10 pence piece, took me forever to clean up :(
 
Including my own and my liveries, I have two complete trashers, two messy ones but not complete trashers, two anally retentive immaculately tidy ones :), and one foal who I have yet to find out. But I am fully expecting him to be a trasher. :rolleyes:
 
Very tidy mare who poos up against the wall in a neat pile. Trouble is she rams herself up against the wall so far that she has a constantly shi*ty back end, cheeks, tail is solid with it and that is a week after washing. I honestly wish I could chop it off. Bane of my life!
 
My ginger boy methodically poos and pees in the same place at the back of his box, however he then uses his poo pile as a pillow! Yeuch!

My mare seems much messier, she poos and pees in the same place too but it's where she has to walk/step through it to either look out her door or reach her nets/get a drink. Her stable looks alot worse than the gingers in the morning but they both take about the same time to muck out, I'll take slightly more out of her stable than his.

The ginger digs when he's not happy or very excited about something on the yard (like clippers running) so he can very quickly turn a neat bed into a bombsite - if I forget to tie him up before I start the lorry on a cold winters morning its impossible to muck out in less than an hour!!! :D
 
My palomino is a messy monster, both in his paddock and his stable. Even in his paddock he manages to lay in poo (it is poo picked every day)
My dark bay is a very tidy boy in the stable and in his paddock he has one corner where he poos and wees.
I'm convinced light coloured horses are dirty to make our lives more difficult :)
 
My grey pony poo's, scatters it and uses it as a pillow for his bum or his head. My bay boy does about 8 elephant poo's at night and wee's whenever he see's me or is fed.
 
most days my mare is brilliant. She's wet but she doesn't tramp it in at all, she doesn't tramp poop in at all either so it takes about 10-15 minutes to do a full, bed lift muck out. She does have days where she can be messy tho, usually if she's been in for ages or late in the morning.
My sister's cob is spotless but her tb is a mess. He tramps everything in!
 
My gelding can be very clean but on some days can be worse ;) my mare is definately a trasher - the poo is just well... Everywhere!!
My little gelding poos in one place and wees on the right so easy to muck out although having cushings means there's a lot of it!
 
My mare is wonderful and tidy, my gelding more than makes up for her!

We used to have a pony that pulled down banks, pooed, then somehow put them up again, so it looked clean on the surface...
 
Decide for yourselves...its lucky he has a cute face haha

My little mare uses her droppings as a comfy underblanket. Originally a 'white' pony, she emerges daily as a greeny / yellowy 'paint' pony ! She must sleep on her back with her legs in the air - as her backside is always covered in poo stains ! Oh, and she uses poo as blusher too ! So I would def. say she is a trasher. (first thing she does on entering her stable is dig and roll. . . :( )

My little chap is lovely and tidy - poos in a pile against back wall, and always wee's in same spot every night, such a good boy :D
 
I have one trasher, one messy one and one that's reasonably tidy.
My trasher box walks badly so mixes and covers all the poo, she even grinds shavings to dust.
Currently she's on pellets with mats underneath so she never has to sleep on concrete, it's much less smelly and not as time consuming as you don't take lots out.
My gelding is very wet but it's always in the same place and he does poo whilst eating then walk in it, but he's not too bad. He's currently on half mats and half straw in a large foaling box.
Gelding number to is on a half pellets half rubber matting bed and is fairly neat but very wet.
 
I swear Leo is actually a washing machine, he's not disgusting he's just really messy! And he tricks you into thinking his bed is quite clean when you first look at it (before mucking out) becuase he has cleverly burried most of the mess!! It takes me ages to muck him out becuase I have to sift through the clean straw to find the poo otherwise I'd be chucking his whole bed out every day!!! :mad: naughty boy!! :p
 
One trasher, one tidy, both boys. Thankgoodness for pellets, as even when he does his worst it only takes 10 mins to sort rather than at least 30 mins it used to take!
