Poo Picking..

I know, I must admit, I didn't used to 'poo-pick' as much as I should of, but now I have made it in to one of my 'weekend-ly' horsey jobs.
There were patches where the horses' poo had gotten out of control and the grass hade become very over grown and messy. About a few months ago we took action and tidied the whole field up (yes, all three acres of it) by wheelbarrow, spade, grass-cutter, and rake!
Phew. At least we're on top of it now. Just spent, what felt like the whole day, 'poo-picking'.
So what are your fields like for 'poo-picking'?
Regards;
Little Missy.

Re: Poo Picking..

If you lived near me you could have your poo picked up and moved just for letting me ride once a week

Infact when there is a horse in the field (one that isn't goin to bite my bum!) I just do it anyway (because the ''owner doesn't care).

Hopefully soon I will start with my neighbours friends horse but she is having bonding time just now so I cant.


If I had a horse I would go about the cleaning up just as I do with my dogs (just with a larger bucket!) once every 2 days.

I know what it's like! We have the two boys in the 3 acre field, at the minute. It's sectioned off into three, with gates joining each paddock.
Believe me - when you hope it'll rot, all that happens is it goes flat -- and it's even harder to get up!

Yeah. I don't only do it on weekends, but incase I can't find the time to do it during the week, I'll do it at the weekend. But with the darker nights, when I get home from school, I'm quite limited to what I can do outside with the animals.
Your dogs are gorgeous, by the way.

Re: Poo Picking..

the last yard i was at we poo picked every day. we then had a sample from each horse set to the vet for testing twice a year. if always came back negitve for worms, so we only had to worm once a year in october to give the horses a flush through. it cost £10 per horse for a test but still cheaper than a wormer. not so funny when it was your turn and it was pouring with rain or snow.

Re: Poo Picking..

I Poo pick in the morning and again in the evening..... I hate leaving it for two reasons one is because then I end up poo picking forever! and the other reason is because Caddy has had some worm damage, so I keep on top of the poo to try and keep my horses worm free...... but I hate poo picing in the winter when it is wet and cold!!!!!
