I had to laugh at your comment on the frozen manure piles! Yesterday, we tried a new tactic. Instead of chipping away with our shovels and filling the manure buckets 1/2 up with snow, Doug got the tractor out with the bucket on the front. It took 2 scrapes and scoops with the bucket and a little help with the loose ones and we'd cleaned one paddock. That was the easy one because my neat little mares are in that one and they only poop in one corner! The Fjord/Arab paddock (geldings) were another story. Poop everywhere! Still, the tractor helped immensely, lightening our work load, primarily loosening the piles which get so frustrating to unearth! What "fun" we have to own our horses!! Susan in sub-zero MN. P.S. Thank-you for making me feel more confident in leaving my Fjord out all night in sub-zero climates. I was tired of cleaning his awful stall and needed an excuse anyway! I figured if your Fjords could take it, so could mine! He thrives in it and I've never seen him shiver yet. It was -48 windchill a couple days ago.
