"My crap problem: We generate about 25 cubic yards of manure in a week, which costs me about $1,800 a month to get rid of - about triple (the) last year and a half," said Dale Gibson of Gibson Ranch, a stable with nearly 200 horses in Shadow Hills that now must transport manure to Fillmore.
"It's not just the expense, it's finding a place that we can take it. Unfortunately, our horses need to eat - and they need to go to the bathroom."
At J-Bar Stables in Lake View Terrace and Peacock Hill Ranch in Shadow Hills, 120 horses generate up to five combined tons of manure per day. What once cost $40 a day to remove now costs up to $200.
