Horse Barn in Hadley

[gemorc]

I was playing golf on Hemingway last Friday. While trying to putt on the 6th green, I was almost overcome by the strongest odor of a horse manure that I have smelled in a lot of years. I noticed the horses in the pasture south of the course, but the wind was coming from the west. The smell even followed us under Morse, to #8 tee. Is this aroma present very often? I can't imagine anyone enjoying their patios with the constant smell of horse manure.

Gem, I've never smelled it. I know where the horse farm is and there's also cows there cause they hang over the fence into my neighbors yards, but I've never smelled manure. All I get is the bread baking at Publix... not too bad an aroma in the air?(except when someone burns a loaf)

The horses come up to the fence behind our backyard and we feed them apples and carrots. We have never caught a whiff of horse manure, maybe we are just lucky or up wind. :laugh:

We love the horses.

Once there were people who fed the buffalo carrots, now the buffalo are gone.
What do the owners think of you feeding their horses apples & carrots?

They are very happy about it and so are the horses!:0000000000luvmyhors

We did ask the owners permission prior to feeding their horses.

We smelled this on Kenya for a couple fo days this week - they were fertilizing the course....

This topic came up while I was golfing today. Apparently, they were using some type of horse manure(-like) fertilizer on the Havana golf course.

Where we lived in Central NY was on a lake surrounded by farm land-very bucolic. However, when the farmers spread manure on the fields you would get the sometimes strong aroma of the manure. People around there referred to it as "derriere(dairy air)". The farmers pointed out, if someone complained, that if you don't like the smell, don't move to a place where there are a lot of farms. It even permeated the small town, however, it didn't last long, and certainly wasn't everyday.
We just arrived here Tues. and I have noticed what I would call a smell like mildew in certain areas. I also noticed it on previous visits. I thought it might be from the mulch in the plantings. I'll take it. It's a small price to pay for such a beautiful place!
We're looking for our house--so excited!!

[KathieI]

Hi, Kitty,,,, welcome to TV... I hope you find the house of your dreams. Your gonna love this place. I like the term "derriere air" very clever. Actually as I girl always growing up in huge cities, I love that smell cause it reminds me of the few times we went to the country as a kid.

I hope we get to meet you while your here. Tomorrow night we're at Havana CC. If you can, try to stop by. The gang will be there to greet you (usually rain or shine doesn't matter to us). Keep us posted on the house hunting, good luck!!!

[TomW]

Yeah, blame it on the horses. Does the order get stronger after you 3-putt?

[katezbox]

They reapplied on Kenya today - just as the eau de derriere was fading.....

[kittylecroix]

Hi kathie,
What time do you gather at Havana? We'll try to stop by.

[KathieI]

Hi kathie,
What time do you gather at Havana? We'll try to stop by.

Hi Kitty, we usually get there around 7 to 7:30. We're outside near the band. Look for us there. Hope to see you!!!

I grew up on a horse farm. I know what horse manure smells like. I just thought that fertilizer for a golf course, intertwined throughout a neighborhood, could be made to smell better. When you have shoveled as much horse***t as I have. You never forget.
