It's been a while so I thought I should re-post.

Our horses become part of the family, and when one passes away it can be very hard on all involved. A lot of people want to bury their horse on their own property, and I think this is a good option for people who have the resources and the space to do it. But that got me thinking the other day, Idaho State law requires that you call for an underground locate at least 2 business days before any excavation, otherwise you'll be liable if you dig into any utilities, and that can be very expensive. So my suggestion is this. If you think you'll ever need to dig a hole for that purpose, call 811 now, while your horses are still healthy. It's free of charge, and if you make a detailed map of where your utilities are, you won't have to worry. You never know what tomorrow brings, and the more you prepare now, the less stressful things will be when the unthinkable happens.

Idaho has many rules governing the burial of large animals, and if you have one that has passed away, you need to be aware of the requirements. According to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, if you are going to bury an animal on your property, you have to comply with the following:

04. Burial. Dead animals shall be buried to such a depth that no part of the dead animal shall be nearer than three (3) feet to the natural surface of the ground. Every part of the dead animal shall be covered with at least three (3) feet of earth.

The location of a burial site shall be:
a. At least three hundred (300) feet from any wells, surface water intake structures, and public or private drinking water supply lakes or springs.
b. At least three hundred (300) feet from any existing residences.
c. At least fifty (50) feet from property lines.
d. At least one hundred (100) feet from public roadways.
e. At least two hundred (200) feet from any body of surface water such as a river, stream, lake, pond, intermittent stream, or sinkhole.
f. Burial sites shall not be located in low-lying areas subject to flooding, or in areas with a high water table where the seasonal high water level may contact the burial pit.

And you are required to bury or dispose of the animal within 72 hours of becoming aware of the death. If you don't have enough room on your property, or aren't able to bury the animal for any reason, your only other reasonable option is to haul it to the landfill in Fighting Creek, and that's where I can help. I have a trailer that was built many years ago by Earl Magnus for that very purpose. Rates vary depending on your location, so give me a call if you find yourself in need. (208)640-0378
