RE: [RC] Shavings - Purpose of . . . - Carrie - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

To be totally honest, I'm not sure what the purpose of putting shavings
in the trailer is??  I guess I can understand if you're hauling horses
on a really long trip, it would serve to absorb urine?  In our trailer,
the urine just drains out the back and onto the ground . . . .  and our
horses don't seem to care whether they stand on a rubber mat, poop, pee
or dirt.  But then again, I don't usually haul anywhere more than 4 to 5
hours away.   
Or is it to make trailer life more cushy for the horse?  I guess I just
don't see the point in it as it just seems to mean more work, expense,
more mess to clean up later, etc. 
I would love to hear about the advantages of using shavings in a
trailer.  I'm not being facetious, I'm actually curious.
