Should a horse stall be cleaned daily?
At a very minimum, a horse's stall should be cleaned daily. Preferably, a stall should be cleaned twice a day. Leaving urine and feces in a stall for an extended period of time can lead to many health problems for your horse. Thrush, a fungi, can develop in your horses feet due to the bacteria and moisture left by urine and feces. This can lead to lameness and extreme cases severe permanent hoof problems. Respiratory issues are also caused by the ammonia in urine. Skin problems, such as scratches and other bacterial infections, can develop on the lower leg of a horse. Overall, cleaning a horse's stall will make him happier and healthier, imagine standing in your own urine and feces all day--not fun!
How can you tell a horse is board in the stall?
Actually, I find that horses are not like humans at all. While we need to find something to do constantly, they normally can survive with just eating and sleeping. Some restless horses also engage in bad habits such as cribbing, or stall-walking. Cribbing can lead to death (due to colic as a result of the amount of air swallowed), but just boredom does not kill a horse. Also, depending on the horse, they can get vicious, striking out at whoever comes near it. Hope this answers your question!
Are horses live in a barn for ever?
Domesticated horses either live in a pasture or in a barn. When a horse lives in a barn, there could be many reasons. The land may not support having a horse on it, the horse could be very accident prone, the horse could be ill/old/very pregnant, the horse could be a show horse and the owners want to make sure it stays clean and injury free, or the owners could've simply chosen stall live for their horse. Stall life isn't the best for a horse, as it's the equivalent of a human living in their closet.

How many times do you clean a horses stall?
Depending on the size of your horse and how much it eats, that is how you determine how often you clean the stall. If the horse "goes" alot, then you will have to clean the stall at least every two days. If it goes only a little and the waste is not big, then three time a week is fine. Do not let the waste stay in the stall for more than four days; the smell will be atrocious and you might as well wair rubber boots to clean with because of all the muck. ---- The cleaner the stall, the happier the horse. I clean my horses stall every day and she stays healthy and happier:)

What else do you do to take care of a horse?
There are many things that an owner can do to take care of a horse. The most important is to provide the horse with enough food and fresh water, the horse should have fresh water source available 24/7. A place to run with a good amount of grass and a shelter to go under to get away from the elements. Providing a dry, clean stall is also key, you will need to be sure that the horse is dewormed, vaccinated, hooves trimmed, and teeth floated on a regular basis. After that lots of love, grooming and patience! Actually, many horses do fine without a stall- better actually. So you don't need a stall. Just a pasture with a run-in shelter. Or, a stall with an attached paddock. It's not as good but it will do. And they need a companion of some sort. It doesn't even have to be a horse. Goats, cows, donkeys, and most other grazing animals are great companions for a horse.
Is it true that Seabiscuit had his own pets?
The life of a successful race horse can be lonely. Horses by nature are meant to live with others, preferably the same species. But many spend most of their time in a stall. To placate their nervous temperments many times a companion is provided for them. The most logical choice are goats. Horses seem to get along well with goats. A goat named Whiskers occupied a stall with the famous horse only to find himself thrown out of the stall by the horse himself. But he did have a dog or two, another horse named Pumpkin, and at one time, a spider monkey named JoJo. Left behind at a racetrack, JoJo was taken into the Howard fold and spent many hours in the company of the horse.
