There is no particular number of times you should clean your horse. It still should be done regularly. You should make sure to check for cuts or other injuries.

Tetanus is a one-celled organism.
A horse should be fed mainly hay, and only a little little bit of grain a day.Try a cup or less of grain a day.
3 to 5 times. Minimum 3 times. On my honeymoon, I did it 7-8 times. Felt like I rode a horse in the morning.
Yes, but many horses are vaccinated against it. Horses are actually more prone to tetanus than most other animals! It is caused by a toxin which is released from the bacteria called Clostridium tetani. This bacteria is found in the intestinal tract of horses and therefore is passed through the feces. This means that spores of the bacteria is present in the soil IN ANY AREA WHERE HORSES ARE. Even small cuts on your horse can be easily infected with tetanus and the mortality rate has been reported as high as 50 percent! (I have also seen estimated death rates of 75 to 80 percent!) It is EXTREMELY important to keep your horse(s) vaccinated against tetanus. Since it is a very quick shot and extremely inexpensive, (normally around $15 dollars) it is well worth every penny. A lot of vets will let you buy the vaccine and give the shot yourself, (if you are comfortable with giving injections), which will save you even more money on the vet making a house call. **ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: If your unvaccinated horse gets a cut that heals up and shows no signs of tetanus, don't be fooled. Tetanus can lie dormant in a horse's system for as long as six months before they show any signs of having contracted the disease. Because of this, the only way to ensure your horse doesn't get tetanus is to stop it from happening in the first place. Waiting until they get a wound may be too late. Please protect your horses and keep them on a schedule of REGULAR tetanus vaccinations! === === Tetanus does not come from rusty nails, staples, or metal items. As the above author states, it runs in the GI tract and is thus apparent in feces. The "nail" simply cuts the foot and allows entrance to the bacteria.
There is no specific number of times. When near water, a horse will drink whenever it is thirsty.
You should clean a horses stall every day to insure a healthy horse.
When it's a hot day and the horse is dirty or sweating
you should re-shoe your horse around every 6 weeks or if you notice craking around the nail in the hoove or if the hoove has grown too much and it spreading out over the shoe.
