Thanks for replies so far. Our "farm" is 15 acres with 13 fenced for pasture and the remainder buildings/lanes/yard/etc. We have 5 horses stalled and another 5 in pasture care. So far nobody has really said that the shavings can be spread directly on the pasture, but nobody has said I can't either. Is it just the nitrogen depletion that would prevent me from spreading directly. If so, could I supplement with fertilizer to replace what is depleted by breaking down the shavings. I am studying the composting option also. My wife would need to give up a small area of pasture near a lane for accessibility reasons and I can probably convince her if I can find a good spot (out of sight/smell/etc.)

Thanks for the thoughts so far and let me know if you have any others to add.
