Thought I would ping this morning since I don't think Becky has her list with her on vacation!
This morning I started what I hope is the "new" 'best practice' of cleaning stalls first thing in the morning while feeding breakfast. For the first couple years I had horses here, that is what I did. Cleaned them first thing and left them to air out all day. This last year, I have fallen away from that and really don't like it when they sit dirty all day and need to be hastily cleaned at night so the horses can be put to bed.
They are so much better smelling if it's done right away.
So - I am making this public declaration so you can hold me to it!
Morning. I always feel so good when I get chores done first but it's very hard for me to do:')
Good morning. Good resolution, are you going to keep us updated on how your're doing? :)
It is easier though.
How is the new/old routine working out? I could never get up early enough to do stall cleaning, in the morning before work. Ours stay in all day, and are let out in evenings for a few hours. One stall has an outside access to the pasture, but since we got the new filly, we have kept the Arabian locked in, to keep her company.
