How do you tidy a stable?

Answer 1

It's much simpler than you may think. All you really need is a pitch fork, a barrow, a bucket of lime (unless you have rubber mats underneath your bedding.) and fresh bedding. First you muck out the poop and bad bedding by scooping it up with your pitch fork or shovel and putting it in the barrow to put away (dump it wherever you want, I dump it in a part of the horse's pasture where my horse doesn't spend a lot a time at.) Then you find your horse's pee spot (most horses have 2 - 3 pee spots in their stall.) by scraping your pitch fork all around the stall. And don't worry about not finding it cause you will for it smells. Once you find the pee spots,speckle some lime on it (but if you have rubber mats DO NOT USE LIME!! for that will only ruined the mats.) then cover the lime with some bedding. Now the only thing left to do the is to put in some fresh bedding (Some people use hay as bedding but I use shaving for I believe it more comfy for the horse). hope this information helps you.
