[Ag-eq] Horse relieving habits

[Jody W Ianuzzi]

HHi Tracy,

Oh do I wish I could train the horses to poop in one place.

They do seem to leave it in one area and they won't eat the grass near that area.

Our daughter Tracy knew a horse who went in a pile and then jumped the fence from the top.  hahaha
