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?
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.

I hate all of these words (in a completely non-personal thank you for the information sort of way)
Ewww. But also wow there is nothing you don’t know!! You must have had an interesting life!
Was a professional showjumper and eventer for a few years. Many moons ago now.
you forgot the tail helicopter
Didn’t think that needed saying, as such. I still reckon the stomp/splash is more effective as spreading the goodness around.
oh you sweet summer child.
