I am so irrate right now at my barn owner I think I'm going to blow a gasket. I went out to see my horses and noticed the barn owner drenched their stalls down w/motor oil to keep the horses from chewing on the wood but by the looks of my horses, they were wearing as much motor oil as the boards. I was so disgusted I immediately started to scrub the spots off of their faces, muzzles, ears, shoulders, necks, manes, tails, and etc. My one mare is a palomino and to have that mess on her white mane and tail was hard to get out. Its cold here and so I had to be careful not to cause a chill. My biggest concern is the dangers of this being on their coats. They have gotten winter hair coats but some of the areas were pretty thick w/oil and on sensitive areas. I know many moons ago it was normal practice for people to apply motor oil to the hooves but we all know now that this is not a safe practice. I'm trying to find resources on the dangers or causes of motor oil on my horses hair coats.
