Interactive Fencing - Interactive is a common word in our language now. It means an immediate and personal response. The interactivity cues the horse to respect the boundary you've set. A powered fence acts as a barrier to enclose animals. With electric current running through the metal in wires, tapes, or boards, your fence is active, rather than passive.
Hot wire repels the horse.
Manure Disposal - Every barn manager and anyone who keeps his or her horses at home knows that disposing of manure and soiled bedding is a mounting problem. If allowed to accumulate, raw manure serves as a vector for parasites and other organisms, attracts flies, and, if extensively amassed, increases the risk of thrush and other hoof-related problems. True, but it would be nice to have as little of it as possible. Besides being miserable to get around in, it can lead to thrush, scratches, lost shoes, and even injuries to tendons and ligaments if very deep or slippery. Rebecca Bentley offers suggestion on ways to reduce your mud problem through proper management.
