Don’t pretend you’ve never taken a look at the beautiful, fluffy and clean shavings in your horse’s stall and legitimately gotten jealous of the absolute luxury you treat your horse to. Though you’ve immaculately banked, picked and fluffed your equine buddy’s stall to perfection, there’s a good chance your own bed at home, with it’s five-year-old low tread count sheets, remains unmade and with a nice pile of dirty and/ or clean laundry at the foot of it. Ah, the things we do for our horses.
