[RC] shavings in trailer - shermanTitle: MessageI find it not quite
so diffucult to remove the mats in my trailer if I use vice grips. I bought a
set of 4 or 5 at K-Mart. It was one of my best purchases. I use two of them
about 2' in from the sides of the mat and PULL. It's still not easy, but much
more managable, even to drag the mats back in.
As far as the
shavings...I only use a little pile where the manure drops. It does keep the
trailer from getting stinky and I think it keeps the liquid from getting down
under the mats. It's very rare that any of my horses pee in the trailer, I don't
think I use enough shavings to encourage that.

Fortunately, living in California it is a quite dry environment.? The only
moisture present is that introduced by manure and pee....which is why I use
shavings!? to try and mitigate this as much as possible.? That being said, I
really wish I could get those mats out by myself, but it's just not going to
happen (actually I can get them out - it's the putting them back in that's the
problem!).? I do lift up the edges and check the boards underneath
frequently.
