==========================================

All I know is, I have become a professional water trench digger in the last two 
weeks.  My horse is boarded and a stallion; he is in an all dirt (I think there 
is still some under the water) enclosure, and can't go out in the boarder's 
grass section as the adjoining fences are too low and Shaba would have no 
problem trotting on through them and introducing himself to all the neighbors' 
horses.  I go out each day and clean his hooves, then stake him out on the 
grass (where I can watch him) and let him munch to get him out of the mud for a 
while. In the meantime, I trench to get the flood waters drained out of his 
paddock. I was told that wood stove pellets might help; they give the horse 
something solid to stand on and absorb a lot of water.  Then you can scoop them 
out later.  I think it might help; my husband is worried that there may be 
chemicals or a coating on the pellets that would hurt the horse if he tries to 
eat them.  Any ideas?  A soaked Lauretta and a
