Not sure I want to know, but as someone that’s never been in a horse float, why are the walls slimy? I would think their pee and poo just drops to the floor?

Sometimes, I really am just a picky princess 😭 but I don’t like touching slimy horse float walls 😭

Atmospheric moisture plus the fact that the poop & pee (for mares) originates at about shoulder height on us humans, or higher. And splashes, and gets kicked around, trodden on and smeared. And if the horse is feeling a bit nervous, then EVERYTHING comes out in liquid form and splashes. I have seen splashes on the roof of horsefloats.

Was a professional showjumper and eventer for a few years. Many moons ago now.

I hate all of these words (in a completely non-personal thank you for the information sort of way)

Nobody likes touching such things. I have had a lot of experience with this phenomenon, and I can tell you this hand on heart. And I am no picky princess.
