1/30/2013 7:54:10 AM

I have had horses buried on the property but that would most likely be unavailable where I am now.

1/30/2013 7:39:35 AM

We toss sunflower seeds over mound (weather permitting) for plants.

1/30/2013 7:31:57 AM

Expensive, however, I do not want to see my horse's body be removed by a disposal company...No Way!

1/30/2013 4:03:39 AM

We have composted a smaller horse and a pony with very good results.

1/30/2013 12:27:48 AM

Service picks up the body, then takes it for burial-local landfill set aside an area for lg animals

1/29/2013 11:27:57 PM

I don't know! Cremation is awfully expensive-may end up with disposal service.
