Barn notes: A personal favorite

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:09 PM PDT

Sometimes in a well-run barn, it's easy to forget what our moms always said: "This place doesn't clean itself." Barn management can set the standard, and workers can sweep and tidy, but boarders  do their part keep  things looking good.

My all time favorite barn note
Thanks to "B" for giving the okay to share this! "B" posted this notice  to other boarders at a show barn where I boarded years ago.  It is a true classic, combining humor and exasperation and cartographic flair. The map still cracks me up.


People do seem to have a neural disconnect about recycling. Where I presently board, only a small minority of us use the centrally located recycling can for recycling. Everyone else stuffs the regular trash cans with soda bottles, fly spray containers, and pellet/shavings bags -- there is no room for real barn trash. Unfortunately we don't have a boarder like the one who made the sign above. I'd attempt one but it would be a sad substitute.
