Deep Pile Mystery

["Julie O'Neill" <riding101@hotmail.com>]

Hey Karen,
 Well, all I can say since my horse is turned out and not stalled is 
that after I get on her she heads for the back side of the arena and 
drops her load. Almost always in the same place. Can't say why or what 
her mind set is, but it seems she waits until she can go where she 
wants. I at times help the owners clean stalls and the stallions seen to 
do their thing in one spot, at least the older ones, that includes both 
"p" words, while the younger under three do their thing wherever it hits 
them. These are all arabs, my horse is also half arab.
They board some thoroughbreds and all I can about them is I now know 
where the expression "Pees like a race horse" came from. Hope this 
helps.
Julie
Mom, you know I want to go to the bathroom over there!

Okay, another thought came into my analogical little head .... if 
there's paper piles for people, then, there's poop piles for horsies -  
from what I just read, doing a PhD is us'ns spending a lot of time 
digging a deep hole buried in papers in one mentally focused, 
cortex-friendly place versus that horse mentioned -- pooping in the same 
stall-cleaning-friendly spot - is that horse marking territory?  What 
are they trying to say?  These horses must be a tad smarter than we 
think they are - I guess kinda like guys (OR gals) who throw all their 
clothes on the same pile!  Now, MY mare does the neat and tidy (thought 
over?)poop-up-against-the-wall pattern, whilst the two geldings go where 
the mood hits and the apples fall.  Also, she's an arab - they're not.  
I would LOVE to hear a poop pattern report from the horse world (HORSES, 
guys, HORSES!!!!! ).  Howdoes the "pattern" compare to the personality 
of the producer?  Hey - it's a long winter, and what better things to 
collect data on while cleaning, cleaning, cleaning the stalls?  I really 
am interested.  Maybe the makings of an interesting article/study? 
Boy, have I fallen into a lower-than-low zone after shoveling ---- and
----  all day (both 4-letter words - one is weather-related ......
Cheers!  Spring is getting closer!
