There are 9 stalls in a barn each stall will only hold one horse if there are 10 horses and only 9 stall show can all the horses hit into the 9 stalls?

Yes, all 10 horses can be accommodated in the 9 stalls by stacking 2 horses in one stall temporarily until one of the stalls becomes available due to rotation, allowing for all horses to have individual stalls.


How can you tell a horse is board in the stall?

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.


Horses how do they behave badly?

Horses can buck like if you have ever watched a rodeo ou will know what I am talking about. They can also rear, which is when a horse raises up on his hind legs which sometimes can be quite frightening to beginner riders. They also can shy which is when they are afraid of something and they jump away from it. Horses can also have bad behavior in the stall. Some horses when they get nervous, will weave. This is when horse stands with his head over the stall and waves it back and forth. Also, when a horse is bored, he will cribb. This is when he bites/chews on the wood either on the fences out int he field or in his stall. This behavior is very common in horses and is the hardest to cure. It is also unhealthy for them to eat the wood.


What will your horses stall smell like if you've been feeding it too much protein?

Feeding a horse too much protein will result in a higher ammonia content of the urine which will create a more ammonia like smell of the stall.


What does ground limestone do for horses?

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.
