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.

Ground limestone (of a equine safe variety) is used in their stalls to help eliminate odors from urine. The horse is removed from the stall, the stall is thoroughly cleaned and if there are mats those are lifted and allowed to air out and lime is then spread on the ground to help soak up and eliminate urine odors. The stall is left to dry out for a while then the mats are replaced and the stall bedded for the horse.

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!
If a horse is traveling alone in a 2 horse horse box what side should it be on?
If a horse is alone in a 2 horse box it should be on the left side because left sides are always bigger in a trailer or a box. *** Update by chickahorse*** It should go on the left side because of the balance of the trailer. Roads are built to naturally peak in the center and slant off towards the shoulders to help water drain more quickly. If the horse is on the right side (in countries where cars go on the right side of the road), the trailer will lean more towards the right, leading to your trailer possibly tipping over. On the left side of the trailer, you horse is on the "up" side of the road. On the other hand, in the UK and other countries where cars drive on the left side of the road, I suppose that you would put your horse in the right side of the trailer to balance it that way.

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.
