How often to you clean a horses pen?

Answer 1

You should clean your horse out daily if it is stables either full time or overnight.

There are occassionally some methods used in farming where to keep heat in you simply pile on more straw and only clean out at the end of the winter but this is more for cows/cattle than horses who prefer to be clean and dry.

It does not take long to do - 20-30 minutes to clean out, bank the straw up and leave the floor to dry before bedding down again for the night.

Answer 2

You can't clean it often enough. Many people say once a day, or even once a week. I say at least 3 times a day, because of the amount of ammonia in the horse's waste. By the time you can smell the ammonia, it has already been strong enough for hours to damage your horses lungs, so clean it as often as possible.

u should clean a horses stable everyday, if it has straw you need to do a full muck out everyday(poos +wees) if it is sawdust u must skip out everyday and do a full muck out about 2-3 times a week

Answer 3

everyday............horse in stable at night

everyday................horse in stable at day

twice a day.............................horse in stable all the time

And these are minimums. The more often the better, because there is ammonia in the horses urine and feces that will damage his hooves and lungs.

Answer 4

It depends on the horse. Show horses are usually bathed every week or more, and trail horses and more home horses are more just groomed. You should keep your horse clean so you can spot things like sores and hives and more.

Answer 5

a horses stable should be cleaned everyday, with a fortnightly half change and a monthly full change:

everyday, the poo removed and the pee spots turned so that they can dry out.

fortnightly,half the bedding taken out of the stable.and new bedding to replace the old stuff.

monthly, all the bedding removed, floors scrubbed and dried, fresh new bedding layed.

Answer 6

If you have 1 horse clean it every 3 days. If you have more than one clean it everyday.

Answer 7

I would recommend a couple of times every week, it also depends how hot it is, and if they are sweating or dirty.
