I think what you mean is mucking out your horses stall :) This should be really obvious - would you like to live and sleep in your waste? You should do this often, to maintain hygiene and keep your horse clean.

If the horse is kept stabled overnight then you will need to muck out at least once per day, usually in the morning after the horse is turned out.

Yes if the horse is well behaved and is not aggressive. If you are not sure of the horse then put a head collar on and tie it up in the stable. I have two horses one is a angel in the box and stays out of the way and lets you muck out , the other I have to tie up as she threatens to bite if you have anything that she sees as a threat in your hand. It all comes down to common sense , if the horse doesn't like people in the stable then muck out when it is turned out or tie up somewhere safe.
