That is a great update. I am glad the farm is now owned by a responsible person who is going to help their boarders keep the neighborhood a happy place.

That’s a great update!! I’m glad the new crew seems to be the reasonably approachable and considerate type of horse people.
Now the real question is… are you going to inquire about taking lessons?

Great update!
Glad you got to meet the new owners & they were amenable to keeping your property poopfree.
Yup, 1 horse can leave a heaping forkful

In Elizabeth you need to water your poop/compost pile or keep it in a naturally low spot so that if gets enough moisture. Check it regularly with a shovel to make sure its cooking, turn with tractor every 5 weeks. Then you will have beautiful compost in 90 days. Spread on the pasture in October and drag. Don’t over drag/drag in summer. You have to make your own topsoil, the compost is what holds the water, protects the roots from UV damage and lets the grass grow.
You and your neighbors need to learn a little bit of range management instead of throwing away a valuable asset. Because that guy (and I have been that guy,) that hauls it off for you is spreading it on his pasture and laughing all the way to the bank.

Yea I understand what you’re getting at but I don’t really care what they do with it. If the horse leaves a poop on my side they come and scoop it up and huck it on the other side of the street in the woods. Not always that day but it’s always delt with. It’s a much better bunch of horse riders than the last owners had.

Don’t know if I’ll get riding lessons but it’s nice to have neighbors that are friendly and understanding. I hope they do well with the new farm.

Such good news! And kudos to you for presenting a friendly face to the new owners and riders, after being treated less than well by the previous.
