How many time do I clean my horses stall?
Answers:
This all depends on your horse's habits and schedule. If he is turned out except for two meals it will be minimal but if he is in in his stall except for exercise you will be cleaning his bedding extremely often. Horses pass manure every two to three hours and urinate every five to six hours.
If you are lucky your horse will enjoy his own clean stall and find his own corner to make his pile in. Your biggest danger is ammonia resulting from the breakdown of urine. When you turn your horse out it is best to "bank the bedding" to allow the stall floor to dry out by piling the salvageable bedding to the sidewalls of the box for the day and then remaking "the bed" when the horse comes in for the night.
jsut clean it when it starts to look realy dirty, you dont need a specific shedule!
At least once a day. If the horse is kept in all the time, you will need to clean it twice a day or more. Horses are a lot of work!
How often do you take a bath? EVERY DAY. You wanted the horse, now take care of it!
Every day if it is kept in it's stall, and make sure to scrape down to the floor to get rid of the wet bedding.
you only have to clean it once unless it is expecting then when it is close to term you might want to clean it twice a day
1-2 times/day is usually sufficent. Thats just picking manure out of the sawdust. I would put fresh sawdust in about every 3 days.
For a horse that lives in most of the day you should really clean it 2x a day. It goes a long way to keeping the flies down and really helps with horses that having a tendency to get thrush easily.
1 time a day is more than fine. :-)
Once a day should be enough, unless he is really messy than twice. Do you use saw dust or strw bedding? that also depends strw does not absorb urine. So that tends to make it a bit messy. Saw dust does a better job and absorbs, Clean out the urine spot daily and replace as needed, to keep the stall bedded enough so that your horse does not get sores from laying on a hard surface.
Before you buy a horse you must to think if you really want it and if you can take care of it. I think you must clean your horse' box once two days.
You should clean it every time it rains. But if it hasn't rained for a while just about once a week or when ever it gets really y dirty. You should scoop out their poop and stuff every day though.
If you want to keep your horse in a happy, healthy environment, then you should clean the stall at least once a day. Unless your horse is never in his/her stall, then you should clean it every other day.
Spot strip once a day, full once a week.
