There is nothing like spending a warm summer day with your favorite four legged friend, trotting through the trails, the wind in your hair, and when you go and put them in the crossties, you hear a slight moan from your horse as they lift their tails and just let it all out! You think for a moment, “Gosh darned horse, have you no modesty?!” You drag your feet to the pitchforks, and then shovel the gifts your horse so kindly left you!
Now that you have a full bucket of horse poop, what should you do with it?! You can spread it around your lawn for fertilizer, throw it at those pesky roosters that continuously wake you at 3am… (GET A CLOCK YOU COCK), throw it away in the city provided trashcans that involve paying a small fee to remove, or you can do what you do with your own poo (if you are a boy, because we all know girls do not poop!) and flush it down the loo!
Well this wonderful trendsetter thought it would be so awesome to just flush it down the toilet! Neighbors be damned! I mean who hasn’t been there on those cold rainy days where you flush the cat poop down the toilet because your bathroom smells of litterbox, and you are too darn lazy to put shoes on to lug it to the trashcans!? When you are like her and keep your horse in your house, I do not see the difference!
Wen I was a kid, I begged my mom to buy me a pony and when she said that we didn’t have room for him, I gladly stated I would share my bed… However, as a responsible(ish) adult, I know that I am a kicker and can no longer share a queen size bed with a 1200lb beast! I thought I wouldn’t get my security deposit back from all the poop he would leave in the house, but I found out that it doesn’t matter because I can now flush it down the toilet! Okay Red, grab your blanket and your rubber mats, it is time you learn about central heat!! I hope he doesn’t jump on the counter like the dog.

Oh. My. God. I’ve seen it all now. I love, love, love my horses, but there’s no way I’d have them live with me in the house. I might live in a house built over the top of my barn, so I can be close to them, but this woman is sick. Just sick. And she’s surprised that she’s getting in trouble with clogging the pipes? Bwahahahaha
I’ve been to the Shetland’s, my husband’s family live there. Island life in Scotland is a whole other world. Horses living in houses would not be the strangest thing one would see.
Ha. Ha ha. Ha …. AAHAHHHAHAHA.
She’s a lot more optimistic about her toilet’s capacity than we ever were. Sometimes at our old place’s toilet, my husband would shamefacedly ask for a pre-emptive plunger before even attempting to use it. Our new one can handle the poop of the one cat that likes to use it. But a full load of manure?
Oh, the visuals. Oh, the awesomeness of scatological humour even as an adult.
Arabian horses used to live in tents with their masters if there was a sandstorm. Then again they didn’t live in houses with carpets with padding underneath along with the plywood floors underneath. I hope this horse is 100% potty trained, couldn’t imagine trying to clean out, what 10 gallons of pee, out of the carpet. If you think putting your horse in your house is bright, please start dumping water on your carpet and see how long it takes you and hopefully that curbs your desire. I can’t imagine how the septic system would handle the manure. Cat poop yes, horse plops uh no.
Just as a sidebar, does anyone know the conversion rate of hay to manure? IE, all things being equal, if you fed your horse 12lbs of first cut grass hay and access to all the water he/she wanted, what would be the “manure crop”? 25lbs? 40lbs?
She reminds me of one of those people who carries their pocket dog around in their purse and dresses them up in little costumes. At least the beast is probably very well taken care of and loved.
However, I cringe to think of him navigating those stairs during an ice storm. At least make your home horse-friendly if you’re gonna have him live in there.
I figure 50 pounds per day per averaged-sized horse. That’s gonna take a pretty big little box.
You can housebreak horses, so the fear of gallons of pee in your living room can be eliminated ( pardon the pun ). I’d rather live with my horse before living with most of the people I know. You’d have to be a few turds short of a pile to think putting it down the loo a good idea. I bring my mini horses into the homes of shut-ins/hospics, etc. for visits, but they wear non-slip rubber lace-up shoes and “bun bags”, to take the worry out of slippery floors and pony potty accidents.
But can you imagine what would happen if the horse spooked and galloped in a panic inside the house???
Sadly the outer Isles of Scotland has a bit of an odball magnet that gets turned on now and again and they flock here like a swarm.
Harmless eccentrics they are not as the animal ends up suffering,
Here is the original story. The woman was forced to turn her living room into a stable after there was a dispute over land.
From the pictures it doesn’t look like a carpeted room, it seems she’s actually made a stable….

It said she is using cat litter to take care of the horse’s bodily functions.
Now that would be ALOT of cat litter–cost a lot too.
My late mare used to come into the house when we were younger and still at home. I miss that mare, smart she could even let herself into the garage.
Our now eldest mare fell into the icy pond and we walked her into the old house on our then farm where there was still electricity to get her warm, she had no ill from the event but I got walking pneumonia LOL
