Poo track mind

Today our nanny student started her placement with us. She is lovely. Chatting at lunch, she was talking about her childhood and mentioned walking round the racecourse near her family home and visiting the horses. Yadder ya about lovely childhoods though of course I wish one for all children. But the message I thought about was ha! more manure! Mixed with hay/straw so even better! I should find out when race days are and visit the stables afterwards. What do they do with the stable muck??

Just beware of possible drugs in the poo (not necessarily illegal ones, but are racehorses more likely to have other chemicals in their systems that you might not want on your veges)? It was something that came up in our organics course anyway.

Good point Nikki. I'll ponder that some more and not rush out to the next races just yet. Ta.
