My dad was in the last remount of the old 2nd Cav., just as WWII got underway.

The stable orderlies shoveled the sh!t. Not that it's that bad a job. Horses eat only grass, hay, and grain - so it isn't like you're shoveling the output of a carnivore. I've probably shoveled 30-40 metric tons of the stuff over the last 45 years or so.

Just the price you pay for getting to play with horses.
