I'm working on a scientific poster for school. We have to do one on our choice of equine stereotypy aka: stable vice. I picked stall/fence walking as it's the one that has frustrated me the most in my life (my childhood horse stall walked and Banana of course fence walks.) None of the other equines in my life have had one.
It probably was not the best choice. Very little research has been done on stall walking, so I'm having to spend most of the poster on stereotypy generalities. But, I think I'll be okay. It's only supposed to be 800 words long, how in depth can you get on any topic? Lots and lots has been done on cribbing, but I couldn't walk outside and take a picture of a cribbing horse like I could with my fence walker (though actually catching her fence walking wasn't easy. There's always a track worn when I go out in the morning, but I don't see her doing it. The grass is coming up so she should stop soon when she can go back out 24/7.)
Anyway, I'm at the cutting words down stage, as what I had was way too long. And I still need to write an abstract and fill out the intro and conclusion. And fit my references, pictures and figures on the poster.
As I lament on facebook learning stuff is good, but writing stuff is hard .
