Over the last few years of having horses my dogs have become very picky
about which pieces they eat - still grosses me out, but what do you do.
When I was on my way in my driveway the other day I saw three coyotes
out in the manure dump pile picking through for their salads:)  Talk
about some nice coats!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Horse manure

I got an email from Lucy's new mom: They also have horses, you see, and
as
far as I know, Lucy has never encountered horses. She is great with
them,
calm obedient, but she has developed an affinity for, you guessed it,
horse
poo. The new owners are a bit (just a bit) distressed and asking if
there is
anything they can to stop her eating horse poo. (God help them --and her
-
the housedog days will be over--if she starts rolling in it!!)

There has never been a dog born who won't eat horse manure.  On the good
side is that it is a wonderful source of green vegetative matter, horses
don't digest too well.  It also has digestive enzymes and doesn't smell
bad,
like cow or pig manure does.  Many years ago there was a show breeder in
California who put her show and breeding dogs on the side of the kennel
that
opened onto the pasture. This was specifically so they would get the
enzymes
from the fresh manure.  And it worked.  Her dogs were gorgeous, and you
coule tell which ones had been on the pasture and which on the clean
side of
the kennel
