<< We've used the standing stalls with poles for almost twenty years, and it works well for us. >> Again, you described it very well, and intriguingly.... almost as well as you did in your book. But I still find myself pulling away from the thought of standing stalls. I couldn't use them... There are a lot of very good horsemen and women who DO use them, so I'm not knocking them. Maybe it's because I'm projecting my own needs on the horses. I like to have plenty of space to move around in, resist being tied down, insist on my freedom and personal space, and love to roam. Anyway, there are so many different ways to care for horses. As long as they/we are all happy and healthy and benefitting from our various ways of horsecare, that's the bottom line. I enjoy learning how other people do things, even if I follow a different path. I particularly love to hear how the horses fare up in Alaska with the -55 degree weather and moose, etc. Pamela
