I notice you are using a Durafork. If you are looking for a MUCH better quality fork, one that won't snap tines when you catch them in the stall mat cracks, contact me through my website at the shakenfork webpage. I can make you a special price when you use them in your next video.
What!? You by your shavings by the bag? Out here unless you have bunny rabbits you buy them by the ton, I think like 200 bucks a ton. Why is it so expensive up there?
@TheBeautyonHorseback because here in New England we like to pay the MOST for everything we possibly can ... JK.. but it SEEMS that way!! I guess it has something to do w supply / demand and convenience... if we buy from a mill we usually have to shovel it IN to the truck ourselves too... and it's often very dusty... the bags cost about $4.50 EACH! our hay is about $7.50 a bale ( they don't even talk about "by the ton" re hay much anymore!!!) cost of living is very high here!! where are you?
@twomblypublishing Oregon. Wow, that is a lot. Out here it seems like everything comes by the ton. We buy our hay by the ton Eastern Oregon Grass for about 210 a ton direct and they deliver off the big truck. the cost of horse keeping in oregon isn't all that bad I don't think since 2/3 of the state is high desert there is a really big span between expensive and next to nothing for cost. The closer you get to i-5 the more expensive it gets but I don't think it's ever as high as out there.
@gibbygirl89 what a kind thing to say... thank you :) and I'm so sorry that you know what that feels like.... every creature is an individual... so we should remember to value each one's uniqueness... my buddy Jesse is a "distraction" around the barn... but he can be charming in between his insufferable and constant humor.... so I'm there for them... since they're there for me :) we all support each other horses and people alike :)
@gibbygirl89 God bless him... he was the best ( he passed away this Aug 5) I've had him for 29 of his 30 years... my friends were pretty sick of hearing how "perfect" he was... EVERY SINGLE time I rode him ;) I miss him a lot
@gibbygirl89 in small private barn that's usually the best way.. but in larger lesson/ boarding/ training stables one often cleans the stalls most efficiently by just working down the aisle whether the horse has been turned out , or is still in. in this particular care Gabriel was just hanging around... he had the option of leaving, which he took midway through the vid when I added the shavings ;) we just liked being near each other
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! that's what I've been telling all of my friends for this horse's entire life ( ha ha ha... they are so SICK of hearing ME say exactly THAT for the past 29 YEARS : ) but you are right, another option might be to tie a horse at a safe length to a safe spot with a quick release knot... or cross tie in the aisle... but I like your idea better : ) and Thank you very much for noticing Gabriel's excellent manners, I love him : )

Yup, this pretty much covers what we learned in your class today.

Your horse is pretty perfect. I recommend for anyone else to put the horse out in the pasture or paddock while you muck
