It's as easy as scooping poop! "Only rain down the drain" is the first step towards a healthy environment. The 2nd step is educating your peers and encouraging them to clean up the washracks
When un-composted horse manure is washed down the drain, it introduces a "nutrient bomb" to your local watershed. This causes algae blooms, which then strip the water of it's oxygen, not leaving enough for other types of plants and animals to thrive, and potentially releasing toxins into our water supply.
The composting process kills pathogens and parasites that are found in raw manure. When manure compost is used to create soil, it introduced import nutrients in a safe way to help promote the growth of plant life.
California Equestrian Centers are obligated to comply with agricultural laws for housed livestock keeping that were really written for keeping cattle. They require a "poop lagoon" to store manure in, since cow manure has a very high water content. Horse manure has a much lower water content, and since they are individually stalled in cozy beds of shavings, a lagoon would be no help to us. Unfortunately equestrian centers of a certain size are still required to follow these laws or face heavy fines. We can help navigate the laws, and advocate for change!
