Horse manure to power UK’s horse artillery barracks
Jul 18, 10
Bio – fuel pellets made form horse manure will help power the new barracks of the Royal Horse Artillery, the Ministry of Defence of UK announced on July 12. Recycled waste and bedding from the regiment’s 111 horses will provide enough low carbon energy to cover the heating and lighting requirements of the ceremonial unit’s new base in Woolwich, southeast London. 
The Ministry of Defense said the Eco friendly move was in line with the government’s sustainable development agenda and just one of several steps being taken to promote sustainability in the mounted regiment’s future home. “We are using the least energy conservation techniques in our barracks,” a Minister of Defense spokesman said on July 12.

I read about this on the news. It’s a good idea and I think a lot of stables should look to use their “waste products” in a better way. Most of the stables in the UK just send it off for incineration they don’t even keep it for fertilizer.
