Must be nice. Out here the ranchers ride ATVs so horse manure is hard to come by. Plenty of cow pies but you have to pick them up all over the place yourself, and who knows what chemicals have been administered to the cattle. Our main source of manure is from our chickens.

There must be local ranches that clean out barns that want to get rid of the manure. Around here all you have to do is drive in on a Saturday and back up and they'll load it in your truck. Much cheaper than buying chemicals. That and the green manure are a great way to break up the clay, also.
