I do a lot of heavy laundry & dirty laundry in my Maytag front loading machine including horse blankets, saddle pads and dog beds. I occasionally see stuff in the rubber rim trap in the front but it seems that lint and fur could get through the grid to other parts of the drain line. Am I supposed to be able to clean this better? Cannot find a way to take this apart go get out the grunge.

Try using something like a toilet brush with a flexable handle. Then use a hosed vacuum to get the dirt out of the vent. Also try pulling the drier out, remove the vent pipe and do the same as before up that way.
Hope that helps. Please let me know.

What sort of bedding should I use for my Dogs Kennel?

You can use old blankets to line your dogs kennel as long as they don't get wet. Blankets tend to retain moisture and can become cold and smelly. You should try to air the blankets as much as possible too by hanging them on the laundry line.

My daughter washed a horse blanket and afterwards, my washer doesn't spin, the clothes get wet and lay there. Could she have snapped a belt or thrown the drum off track with the weight of the horse...

Yes , it is quite possible that a load exceeding the limit of the washer can damage the belt or the drive of the washer and so it is important that a first hand observation is most important before we can speculate on the issue.
Please remove power and check manually on the motor and drive, now connect and with precaution check the drive , if there is power on motor or if there is a failure from the program controller unit.

May i wash blankets in th washing machine

Wahing blankets in the washer depends on the washer and it depends on th blanket. If its a thin blank or small quilt than usually yes. If you have a comforter than I recommend taking to laundry mat. Top load washer is designed for between 18-28lbs of laundry. It may not feel that heavy but soak it with water than feel how heavy. If its a direct drive washer and you put too much weight in it the couple will break. If its belt driven you can break the belt or wear out the moter. If its a front load washer they are designed to hold more but The motor can only handle so much weight or it burns out. The belt could also break if its too much weight. The simplest way of determining it is if the blanket does not soak up alot of water ( thin blanket ) than its ok If blanket soaks up alot of water (comforter) take to laundry mat. I hope this helped. Anymore questions please comment me back.
