it's a good idea and a good choice.
Actually, no, it is not a good idea. Being in a stall is bad for your horses for many reasons. In a stall, horses cannot move around as they were meant to. Horses need to run around. Wild horses move 18-20 miles a day. while your domestic horse may not move that far, they should be left to excercise as they need to. horses know more of what they need than we do. They can find the grasses that hold nutrients they need, they will avoid plants that are bad for them provided they have enough good grass to eat. they can keep themselves healthy. Like wise, they know how much excersize they need to stay fit. their instincts tell them they need to stay fit so they can escape predators. Horses don't know that they dont have as many predators as they would in the wild. Also, in a stall, they stand in ammonia from their waste. This weakens the hooves, and they dont get adaqute blood flow through their legs because they cannot move around enough. They also breathe in much too much ammonia and carbon dioxide in a stall. They are also stressed in a stall, because they have no where to run if a predator was to come, so they worry about that along witht he fact that they are not in direct contact with the herd, where safety is, and since they cannot run, they cannot run off that stress, and before you know it, you have a horse with ulcers in his stomach. In a stall, unless you have free choice hay, preferably on the ground with a container with small openings so as to mimick grazing, the horse's digestive system will be compromized because they were meant to be grazing at will.
Don't worry about a horse being cold at night. As long as you dont clip their coats for your convinience, they will be OK. their coat allows them to be comfortable in 30 degrees colder than we can stand. They are happier when its cold actually. If you have predators that come out at night, invest in some chicken wire fence and put that on the bottom of the fence your horse is in. You could make it electric, and that would keep cayotes and the like away.

How often should a horses stall be cleand?
You should clean a horse's stall once a day if your horse is in at night and goes out during the day. If this is the case you should clean your horse's stall after he goes out in the morning or before he comes in, in the afternoon. If your horse is kept in a stall 24/7 (which I do not reccomend) then clean the horse's stall at least three times a day. Once in the morning, once at noon and again at night. when cleaning your stabled horse's stall move him into a spare stall while you work so he is not in your way.
