Horses are naturally supposed to be in a herd on grasslands. When you take that away from them and put them in a stall, they do different things to entertain themselves. Some of these things are cribbing, head-bobbing, and kicking.

Cribbing: When a horse gets bored and they chew on their stall wood and suck in. Many times they get ulcers in their stomach from it.

Head-bobbing: Throwing their head around and bobbing it up and down. Many times they get the "wild eye" and show the whites in their eyes.

Kicking: The horse will damage the stall and possibly itself when kicking out at the stall. Sometimes the horse get in bad habits and could possibly kick out at people.

If you do board your horse in a stall, then make sure you come exercise and spend time with your horse as much as possible. If you can't come to the barn as much, then I would suggest pasture boarding so your horse can run around freely.

What does part boarding a horse mean?

In the US "part board" usually refers to the owner sharing responsibility for the upkeep of the horse. Most frequently this means the horse owner, not the boarding stable, is responsible for some of the chores and/or feed or bedding for the animal. It's common for part board to mean the owner comes each day to feed and muck out a stall, and provide feed.Full board means that the boarding stable does everything for the upkeep of the horse. The owner is free to ride and enjoy his/her horse without the responsibility of its care.it means that 2 or more people rent the same horse and have less responsibility.

How often should a horses stall be cleand?

You should clean a horse's stall once a day if your horse is in at night and goes out during the day. If this is the case you should clean your horse's stall after he goes out in the morning or before he comes in, in the afternoon. If your horse is kept in a stall 24/7 (which I do not reccomend) then clean the horse's stall at least three times a day. Once in the morning, once at noon and again at night. when cleaning your stabled horse's stall move him into a spare stall while you work so he is not in your way.

Is it true that being in a stall stresses a horse and that a horse breathes in a ton of carbon dioxide and ammonia in when in a stall?

It can be a stress factor in a small stall. Loose boxes are much more comfortable for them . A well-kept clean stall should not be noxious from ammonia vapors. If your horse's stall makes your eyes smart, then it's not clean enough for your horse, either. Good ventilation will eliminate any CO2 worries.
