[Ag-eq] Horse relieving habits

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Hi tracy:

I haven't really seen a difference between my geldings and mares, but there's a
big difference between the mules and horses.  The mules like to go in the same
place; they choose one place for poop and another place for pee.  The pee place
is hardest to keep clean.  The mules will move the relief place ever so often. 
My gelding seems to go where ever he is at the time!
