Makes No Sense...but I'm not a Horse!
Some call it a Stud Pile. Dick Bryzowski, University of Maine Cooperative Extension Agent, calls it the Zone of Repugnance. Brilliant term, isn't it?
Either way, it is the area where animals decide they are going to poop. And nothing, from my observations, will change their minds. This spring I planted wonderful grass seed. I took great care in fencing off the area until it was Good Eatin'. The three mares have decided their Zone will be right in the midst of the finest new grass. Across the street at the field, they poop in the most wonderful bed of clover. What's with them? Heck if I know! I'm sure there is some Sixth Horse Poop Sense involved.
