RE: [RC] shavings in the trailer - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFWe have just used dirt. Works great, soaks up moisture and it's free! :) . . . and horses are quite accustomed to walking on it. =) Carrie Kitley 30th Medical Group, Vandenberg AFB DMLSS?Database Sustainment Specialist (DSS) CACI?International Inc? www.caci.com dsn?276-1077, Comm (805) 606-1077 fax dsn?276-1179 <\_~ // \\ carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ann Blankenship Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 9:29 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] shavings in the trailer Heidi said: Absolutely right about horses hating to pee on surfaces that splash! That said, have seen too many horses with respiratory irritation, eye irritation, and even scratched corneas from blowing shavings in the trailer--so prefer to use straw or old hay (or even dirt, as long as it isn't fine and dusty) for this function. Ann responds: I wonder how those pelleted stall products would work in the trailer? Would they roll around like marbles? Would the horses slide around? Anyone used this stuff instead of shavings? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
