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

Actually, I find that horses are not like humans at all. While we need to find something to do constantly, they normally can survive with just eating and sleeping. Some restless horses also engage in bad habits such as cribbing, or stall-walking. Cribbing can lead to death (due to colic as a result of the amount of air swallowed), but just boredom does not kill a horse. Also, depending on the horse, they can get vicious, striking out at whoever comes near it. Hope this answers your question!


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!

some extra caring techniques for your Bella sara horse are: give him/her an apple soothe them (if it is a water or air horse) give them good luck (by clicking on the golden horseshoe on the stall of one of your land horses) if it is your adopted foal, then you can feed him/her milk from a bottle, give him/her a treat, pet them, and put a blanket on them while sleeping. if the horse isn't completely happy, then i would recommend to just pet them until they are happy.

Should you put a limping horse in a stall?

The best bet would be in a small paddock where the horse can lay down freely, and graze grass and hay. Keeping him in a stall 24/7 might make it anxious, nervous, or have to much energy. So, if the horse is not being exercised daily, he should not be fed fatty, rich foods that it would normally need. So, by giving him hay and grass, it will keep his digestive system in balance. You can stall him for periods of time though, be he will need a break.

How ofin should a horses stall be cleaned?

Much depends on the size of the stall the horse is in. The more often you clean the stall, the easier the job is to accomplish. Good horse maintenance includes at least daily stall cleaning. That keeps the horse healthy. The filth can ruin their feet and coats, and the odors are toxic and can permanently damage their lungs. Rule of thumb: If you're not willing to lay down and sleep in whatever is in the stall, don't expect your horse to either. This all depends on how often your horse is in the stall. If he comes in every night then it is best and more comfortable for the horse if you do it every day. How ever you can always just skip them out and deep litter them (put clean straw on top of dirty) but if you do this make sure you only go 3/4 days until you clean it out properly and start again.


Would a horse paw in his stall if left alone?

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.
