The first month his stall was a mess, and then all of the sudden he started going in one neat pile outside in his run. Let's hope Gailey decides that outside is better, forever!!!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-7212490545644903652011-11-28T03:27:59.974-08:002011-11-28T03:27:59.974-08:00When I got my winter boarder last year, she was a ...When I got my winter boarder last year, she was a pig at first...and my mare, miss neat & clean, forgot her manners, too. But then one day, they were neat & clean again. <br /><br />Flash forward...my winter boarder is back, and to my dismay, she (and my mare) went piggy again. Yesterday, back to neat. I credit it to marking the stalls...they need to get every corner smelling like it's theirs :) Hope they stay neat!<br /><br />JackieHorsesAndTurboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607758320356759231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-19192033005824066882011-11-27T13:58:33.056-08:002011-11-27T13:58:33.056-08:00Funny - I have 4, two are messes, the other two (...Funny - I have 4, two are messes, the other two (mother and son), both pile their biz in one corner of their stalls.

My OTTB is the former, thank goodness. He poops in one spot, pees in the middle (because that's how he's built ;o) and even when the stall has gone a day or two without cleaning, his day sheet is nearly as pristine as he is. I know he's been in the stall because there are shavings in his tail, but he's a joy to take care of. I count my blessings--and hope Gailey is learning new ways.TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-36802241734725232322011-11-27T10:50:22.502-08:002011-11-27T10:50:22.502-08:00Jami, I'm sure Gailey was testing out her new ...Jami, I'm sure Gailey was testing out her new situation. Now that she knows it's going to be okay and it's permanent, she's taking pride. Has she adjusted to being alone? Or did you get a pasture pet?Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-34341451883942203012011-11-27T07:09:49.782-08:002011-11-27T07:09:49.782-08:00Hmmm, maybe it just took her a bit of time to figu...Hmmm, maybe it just took her a bit of time to figure it all out and create her own hygiene plan!<br />I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-91368048591015959182011-11-27T05:40:35.476-08:002011-11-27T05:40:35.476-08:00Hey Jami: I used to work at a stable and we sure o...Hey Jami: I used to work at a stable and we sure our equine pigs there..ug. I HATED cleaning their stalls it would have been easier using a front end loader!! And interestingly enough it was only mares that were like that. The boys were usually cleaner by far!!<br /><br />Hoping that Gailey continues on in her reformed ways!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
