Jim hasn't talked about that. But I'm sure it is done in a very efficient way. To hear Jim tell it, everything about his place is efficient. Another fact Jim fails to reveal about horses kept at show barns is that they GO somewhere. Lime to shows. They do not remain in small pens day in and day out without having a job to do.RH2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-3782988425837035922010-01-03T08:25:31.675-05:002010-01-03T08:25:31.675-05:00I don't agree with the way many show barns kee...I don't agree with the way many show barns keep horses either but there is one big difference between them and Jim's sardine sanctuary. They are riden on a daily basis to get exercise. <br /> The amount of manure that 33 horses produce on a weekly basis would cover that "just under 3 acres" an inch deep if spread over it.....Lovely mental picture huh?!Ranch Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230951347227450112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-59014089909453590682010-01-02T19:12:22.997-05:002010-01-02T19:12:22.997-05:00Very well from what he claims.

I can't imagine he is doing it well, no matter how it is laid out, and I don't think he can possibly be providing them with the exercise they need. We've written about him in the past. He took in a retired racehorse, and I'm willing to bet that horse has not gotten the exercise he requires since he landed in Tierra Madre. The horse could have had a future in a home where he could have been put to work doing a different job. Instead, he is a retiree forced to live out his life being penned up and infrequently turned out in Jim's exercise area. Jim feels this is fine, as he claims many show barns have this same set up. I guess this justification is as good as any other excuse he can come up with for his hoarding.RH2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-5212982483668781642010-01-02T12:21:34.771-05:002010-01-02T12:21:34.771-05:00I would love to see a layout of that place... i ha...I would love to see a layout of that place... i have 30 horses on 1,800 arc.. when i bring them in i have them on 10 arc for winter feeding... its to small for them.. how is that nut case doing it on less then 3 arc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
