Looking for horsey smelling things

Submitted by rudesby t3_10pkiwv in pittsburgh

My beagle is obsessed with horses. When we go to one of the parks that has horses on the trails he goes absolutely nuts and howls his little head off tracking their scent. We recently found out he sadly has cancer and one of the things I'd like to do to spoil him is get him a blanket or some hay or something that's been around a horse to smell and bury in our backyard as he likes to do.

Would anyone who's around horses be willing to procure a horse-smelling object for us? We can pick it up and reimburse you if necessary. Will provide a video of the beagle enjoying himself.

Edit: thank you so much horse friends! It looks like I'll be able to gather a pile of smelly things for him. I'm really touched so many people are willing to help us and am excited for him to get to sniff a whole herd of horses.

I will! DM me. I could rub a damp towel all over my horse’s coat to give your beagle lots of good horsey smells. My horse is in zelienople/cranberry and I’m in the Pittsburgh east end so I could meet you in either area to supply stinky towels. This is such a sweet thing to do for your dog, I would love to help!

I am convinced this is the reason the internet was created

My wife is headed up to her barn tomorrow night and could stink up a blanket from the horses. If McCandless is convenient for you to pickup and you’re interested just shoot me a message!

Hey! I work on a horse farm. I'll be there tomorrow night, I can get you some horsey-smelling things. I live in Bellevue, if you'd like to pick up. No reimbursement necessary.

I was going to post a smartass comment, but then I read the story and OP is actually sweet and the best owner a dog could ask for, so my conscience said neigh.

I had to read based on the title, not something you see every day.

Most places that keep horses just toss the clipped hoof pieces - we used to get them as chew toys for our dogs.

The PPD horses walk around near their barn and in Riverview Park quite often when the weather gets nice. They pass my house a lot. I can't provide a stinky horse blanket (this thread is the sweetest I've seen all week btw!) but I can say that if you visit the area, you might catch a glimpse.
