Several horses have been confirmed to have died of it in NY. There has been
at least one in Rhode Island. In CT they have found dead birds testing
positive for the disease in over 5 towns. The quick spread is being
attibuted to the migration of birds.

Interesting...as I'm paying for my own bedding now this is an interesting
alternative. Were the wood pellets as absorbant as the shavings? Do they
fluff at all or are they fine like sawdust? How do they compare to the
cleanup of sawdust? My feedstore

Pony Club safety standards say that the water bucket should be at least chest

The "no mule" designation was added just a little over a year ago. Maybe one

In my opinion the peacock stirrups (the rubber band ones) are great as long
