Re: fjordhorse-digest V2005 #235
This message is from: snafflesnshelties [EMAIL PROTECTED] this reminds me of a small country town near us. A dairy cattle farm had been there for years (on the corner lot of the town). New people moved to town and eventually complained about the odor from the cattle. Went as far as to take the dairy farmer to court. When it was all over, the dairy farmer stayed and his cattle. There were established there first. Residents bought their property knowing full well that the dairy farm was there. I notice an odor from our horse lots sometimes after a drenching rain. I had one neighbor complain about my flies ... bombarding their home.. I set her straight... with all the fly control I used... there was no way the flies came from our home. The flies came from a hog farmer.. who used nothing for fly control. Very often if someone complains, they are senior citizens... who tend to grumble and no one can make them happy. Not all seniors are this way though. I usually call the person... who is complaining about me... and very sweetly discuss it with them. First time I ever did th is.. the gentleman was sooo embarrassed, basically denied what he has said. I would talk to them about the rumor... explaining that you do everything you can to control odors ect... and ask them kindly to let you know IF they ever detect an odor... I always call any new neighbors... and ask them to let me know if my dogs bark too much and annoy them.. never thought of it with manure odor.. however we dont have anyone directly downwind from us. joyce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 10/19/2005 7:14:21 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: learned from a neighbor that my neighbors of twenty five years to the east of me told them that they can not eat on their patio because of the terrible smell from my place

This message is from: Skeels, Mark A \(GE Healthcare\) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, we recently had a complaining neighbor, they said a couple times last spring when the wind blew from the south they were very frustrated with the smell. So then complained that we were over covenant on horses. Everybody in our subdivision that has horses is over the covenant limit. Anyhow, a couple days in the spring, must have been a day when they had nothing else to complain about. My flesh wanted to say, well then why don't you live in the city instead of the country where horses are allowed, but I held back. We also keep our paddocks picked every day. But I think instead of spreading it around from now on were going to pile it and let it decompose before we spread. Who knows. Now another neighbor walks by and says there are too many gnats, one of our neighbors is using the feed thru fly control, but still has them, any suggustions on that one. Besides waiting until the freeze. My wife has used spray on the maneur piles, with a hand sprayer, walking around to every pile and spraying. Has helped some.

I have not had any problems with them other than twenty plus years ago they sprayed for weeds along ,my fence line and I politely told them that it was illegal. I have also heard bb gun shots and the horse may jump and turn to look at their home but I have never accused them. Other than that we chat across the fence etc. Anyone else had smell complaints? I use a compost pile for some poop and the rest goes over a steep bank to keep the edge built up. This is far from them. Jean G. I have 16 equines that I keep most of the summer on 10 acres (once the hay is in, they have 20 acres). I rarely smell anything. I water and drag the fields and put some poop in big piles. And horse poop doesn't stink!! Maybe their septic needs overhauling!!
