Today's confession is that occasionally when one of the horses poos while I'm riding, I will forget to go back out and pick it up. I don't leave a muck tub and fork out there because I turnout in the ring. If you've been here for any length of time, you know my rotten animals would dump the bucket and probably stomp it to pieces.
But, I have come up with a solution! I made myself a poop bracelet, so I can put it on when there's ring poo and then take it off once I've retrieved said poo.
Behold! The Poop Bracelet |
Now, I obviously can't leave the bracelet in the ring because previously mentioned rotten animals would probably eat it. So it's not a perfect solution. I have to remember to put it on when I get back in the barn. But I got to test it out today, and it worked! So we'll see. I'll report back on future tests.
Anyone else forget these things? Have a better solution? Let me know if you do!
What a great idea. Maybe hang it on the doorknob to the tack room?
ReplyDeleteI have it hanging just inside the feed room which is where their brushes are, so I have to go right past it regularly. I think it'll work! My rooms have latches like stalls not knobs, otherwise, that would be a good place too!
Deletelol I love that! I’m constantly leaving myself little notes or carrying around weird charms to help remember tasks like that…
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not just me! I imagine there will be other bracelets in the future as I find more things I can't remember to do!
DeleteCould you leave a muck bucket and fork just outside the arena gate and the bracelet on it so you can grab it on the way back into the barn if you need to scoop a pile?
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could. But it's the same area that we drive the Gator through when we do chores in the morning, and I know my worker will run it over. Lol. Or maybe I will. Haha!
