Where There's Muck...

...There's Money

The Muck, Paddock Cleaner Or so the saying goes. But at The Horse Trust’s Home of Rest for Horses in Speen, Buckinghamshire, there is at the moment just an ever-growing mountain of muck.

Until recently, the heap was cleared regularly by a contractor who supplied a nearby mushroom farm. But now the farm no longer produces mushrooms, the muck heap is growing on a daily basis.

“This is a problem that is never going to be resolved by enthusiastic gardeners,” says yard manager Shirley Abbott. “We are urgently seeking a commercial contractor who can clear the heap on a guaranteed regular basis – but, because we are a small charity with a large number of horses, we are looking for a new contractor to remove our heap of muck at a sensible price.
