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.
A manure fork is typically used to shovel horse poop. It has a pronged head that allows for easy and efficient removal of the manure from the stall or paddock.
Every day, maybe more. Because they need to muck out their stalls / stable and then if they are riding in an arena, they have to clean up the poop there and so on. Also after they have mucked out, they might have to do it again in the same day because the horse pooped again. However if they live in the field then they still need to pick it up everyday, as it could attract flies and other insects, which is bad.
it depends on what bedding you use. if you have rubber mats and few shavings, then you should muck out every day. if you have a deep litter bed, lay the stable down with straw, and instead of mucking it all out, muck the worst of it out and put clean straw on top, until it builds up. then say once a week, comlpetly clean out the shed..this is called deep litter and is good for lamanitics.
a muck bucket is a bucket is to clean horses or thier stalls
It depends where you ride. If you are having lessons at your house then yes you will probably need your own horse. But if you are going to a riding centre then usually you will not need a horse of your own.
You don't
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. If however he is kept stabled throughout most of the day and night, you will need to clean him out more often - usually skip out muck through the day with gloves and a bucket.
You should muck out the stall once a day, and twice in the summer. You muck out twice in the summer because of all the parasites and insects that are attracted to manure. You might have to muck out even more, depending on your horse and where you live. : )
You dont need any graduate degrees you just need basic horse knowledge to muck, feed and groom, tack etc.
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.
Well If its you, then its your choice, personally I woulden't. Personal Hygene Remember. But if it is the horse, You have to be careful. I once grooomed a horse when it was pregneant and it was fine, but it depends on what the horse is like
If the horse is stalled frequently you should muck out the stall at least twice daily if not more. Many people will muck out in the morning then 'spot' clean as they pass the stall and see a new dirty spot. In the evening they will again muck out the stall or add extra bedding.
still at least once a day
you mean how MUCH

To hoof-pick a horse you slide your hand down the inside of their leg and ask them to up and tap then GENTLY scrape away the dirt and muck. Never! Ever! press down hard as you will hurt the horse. Hope i helped! xx
No, muck fires can start anywhere there is muck. That's why they're called MUCK fires, not Florida fires.
