I'm also looking at redoing our horse runs, which are unusable due to terrible drainage during the rainy season, and debating whether to use pea gravel, decomposed granite, or a combination of both. Most folks around here are encouraging us to use the DG, and it sounds like it stays in place better than pea gravel does. Thoughts comparing the two?

SMHN thrown pillow style is actually preferred by my horses over the round bale. For a while they had the choice. One of my horses is afraid of clanking cans in a bag so when the round bale was finished, I tied a small bag with tuna cans to one end of the pillow. One horse snorted, checked it out and settled in to dining. The other horses snorted and huffed and didn't know what to make of it. He soon realized that if he wanted to appease his hunger he'd better get used to the bag of cans. He figured out how to get hay without moving the cans but the other horse would sometimes grab the net and fling it a few feet. The snorting and huffing would begin all over again but at least he stood his ground.
