How often should you muck out your horse?

it depends on what bedding you use. if you have rubber mats and few shavings, then you should muck out every day. if you have a deep litter bed, lay the stable down with straw, and instead of mucking it all out, muck the worst of it out and put clean straw on top, until it builds up. then say once a week, comlpetly clean out the shed..this is called deep litter and is good for lamanitics.
