Quick question for any horsey types out there. How much manure does a
horse create? i.e. how many horses would you need to acquire a muck
heap weighing 1250 tonnes?


Well, My horse produces about 1 and half well heaped, average sized wheelbarrows a day (he is a bit of a beast at 16.3hh) so on avaerage about 1 barrow a day and I have 6 horses on my yard. I am not sure how much weight 1 barrow is but it is pretty heavy. So it averages out at about 2190 barrows of poo a year for 6 horses, possibly more!

If anyone else want to work out the weight conversion please do ;o)
