What do you do when your horse breaks out of his stall just for food?
Cowgirlj
you should feed him more, and CATCH HIM OR HER!
OK, after reading your comment on the discussion, you could try not feeding him grain, but leave him hay or grass to eat 24/7. It would best if you could keep him out at pasture 24/7 so he isn't standing in a stall all day and can run around and excercise. You could also get a professional in horse diets to plan a diet for your horse.
Also, if when you say he is always busting out of his stall, this makes me think of 2 things: 1, he knows how to open the lock on his door, in which case he just needs a more complex lock. or..
2, he runs over you when you open the gate in order to get to food, in which case he is a very disrespectful horse and needs to learn that he cannot run over you. You needx to establish that you are the leader. This can be acomplished with ground work. Move him forwards, backwards, left and right. A leader horse can move less dominant horses around like this.
Now, maybe that's not what you meant, but that's what it sounds like you are saying.
Oh, and also, make sure you don't leave food laying out where he can get to it.

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.
How ofin should a horses stall be cleaned?
Much depends on the size of the stall the horse is in. The more often you clean the stall, the easier the job is to accomplish. Good horse maintenance includes at least daily stall cleaning. That keeps the horse healthy. The filth can ruin their feet and coats, and the odors are toxic and can permanently damage their lungs. Rule of thumb: If you're not willing to lay down and sleep in whatever is in the stall, don't expect your horse to either. This all depends on how often your horse is in the stall. If he comes in every night then it is best and more comfortable for the horse if you do it every day. How ever you can always just skip them out and deep litter them (put clean straw on top of dirty) but if you do this make sure you only go 3/4 days until you clean it out properly and start again.

What are some common indications that your horse is bored in its stall?
Since this is a question posed on the computer game Howrse, the answer would be "all of these." In real life, though, a bored horse in a stall is a recipe for stall vices. Pacing, stomping, weaving, pawing, cribbing, wind sucking, teeth grinding, box walking, wall-kicking, self-mutilation, head-bobbing, are all nasty little habits that once started can be very difficult to stop. They can effect the health of the horse and can cause damage to the stall. A horse can also become aggressive, charging at a stall wall just to see if it can go through it, or biting out at other horses and its handlers.
What is a Morgan horses habitat?
There is no specific habitat. Just provide your horse with a big spaceous stall, and it would be best to not lock it there all day. Developes boredom habits, just get a nice grassy grazing pasture! :)
Should horses be left out or kept up in a stall when it is muddy raining cold weather?
For some horses being in a stall is a fate worse than death. They hate it, and they can begin to feel closed in and panicky. For these horses a mare motel or a 3 sided shed may be more comfortable for them. If your horse does not mind the stall and you don't mind cleaning the stall, then yes I think it is best to put them in a stall. The stay dry, and warmer. A horse outside in the weather uses a lot of energy just trying to stay warm. Sometimes they will need more food, and richer food like grains and oats. If you choise to keep your horse out in bad weather, make sure he has a blanket (waterproof of course) and at least a 3 sided shed that keeps most of the wind and rain off of him. Make sure that it is kept clean and always provide him with a dry place to stand and lay down. Rubber mats just for this purpose are wonderful. And when they need to be cleaned just hose them off and they are as good as new. Make sure that his bedding is thick and clean.
Would a horse paw in his stall if left alone?
Depending on the temperment of the individual horse, being in a stall could result in what is called "stall vices". Stall vices are common when a horse gets bored or restless and does not get enough exercise outside. The vices manifest as cribbing (wood chewing-air sucking (sucking in air as he cribs)-pawing-pacing-weaving (rocking back and forth on front feet)-kicking the wall-tooth grinding. Once a horse starts one or more of the above behaviors it can be difficult to get them to stop. The best thing is to make sure the horse gets plenty of outdoor exercise, time with his horsey friends, take him out of his stall everyday for grooming, (this is a great way to bond with your horse and he will love you for it) and there are toys made just for horses (example-stall balls) that may help relieve his boredom. An extra warning: horses can learn these behaviors from other horses. A vice may start with one bored horse and before you know it the whole barn will be grinding their teeth or kicking the walls.

It will take a few minutes for the horse to show up in your breeding farm after you have bought it. Otherwise, perhaps another player outbid you - you can look in your office to check.
How often should you clean the horse's stall if he is in it frequently?
If a horse is in a stall everyday for long periods of a time it should be cleaned out at least once really good. Meaning all soiled bedding should be removed and the wet spots should be left uncovered to airdry. If for any reason the horse should have an injury or be in for any type of illness. The stall should be kept clean of any droppings and urine. This is to keep any bacteria from forming which could worsen the horses health. It is also good to keep any stall clean for the well being of the horses health. A dirty stall can be a lot of a horses health problems especially if you find your horse having breathing problems when riding or just breathing. Another thing which is good for stall cleaning is that there is always fresh air coming into the barn. Even in the winter time, just leaving a door or two windows open so that there is a slight breeze through the barn. This will help with moving fresh air in, the bad air out, and keep the barn smelling better. Plus horses are use to being outside and when you move them into the barn there lungs are not use to going from warm to cold in such a short amount of time.
