Wonder why that is?  In any case, we don't use wood shavings, and our mares
and foals are out on pasture with a run-in shed for the heat of the day.
At the moment...all rears are clean, and we are getting some much needed
rain!   Julie

Julia,
Be aware that wood shavings will make the little guys scour more. We found
that if we can pasture and place mares on a a lower protein diet during this
time will help.  In California, our foals never had the scour. Here in
Oregon, it was a different story. 12 little butts to clean medicate and try
to keep dry and cool. Good Luck!
