Re: [RC] trailer shavings--inhaling - Mary Ann Spencer
Imagine what the horse has if those shavings are in
his stall all the time??? I am a barebones traveler. The horses
manage to throw/drop the hay all over so it ends up as floor bedding.
Shavings can contain 'other things' so it sounds like the ones you have have
some irritants. A bag of shavings is similar in cost to old hay so why
take the risk? BTW, I have trailered horses now from coast to coast
over the past years. Just IMHO. mas
Just spent some time practicing trailer loading--also
spent sometime in the trailer with fresh shavings. Ended up feeling like
I was inhaling fine dust particles after a short time with resulting
cough--has anyone else noticed this? What it must do to the horses
respiratory tract after a haul. What are the alternatives? Do
those who trailer alot wet down the shavings? Any
thoughts/ideas?
