Learn how to keep your horse stalls clean in just five steps.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

You work hard to keep your horses clean and healthy, and that includes keeping their stable and stall clean, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does a clean stable look and smell better, it can also keep your horse healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your horse stable clean, follow these steps from Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Get clean bedding out of the way<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Move any clean, unsoiled bedding<\/a> or hay into the back corners or against the walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have bedding in the horse stall, use a bedding fork<\/a>. If you have hay or straw, a pitchfork will do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Clear out dirty bedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Remove any dirty, wet bedding and manure from the the stall. Throw it into a muck bucket<\/a> or wheelbarrow<\/a> to take away from the stall and outside the barn.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Clean the floor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Use a shovel to pick up any dirt and debris that fell through the fork. And sweep clean the center of the stall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use an absorbent deodorizer to treat any damp or wet spots on the stall floor. Do this for both a concrete floor and a rubber mat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Let the stall dry out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Let the cleaned stall air dry for as long as possible. This is a good time to let your horse enjoy time outside the stall, as it only takes about 10 minutes for the actual cleaning process.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Add clean bedding <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Once the stall is dry, pull back any clean bedding into the center of the stall. If needed, add fresh shavings to the stall, and distribute and fluff it with a fork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the best bedding type for your horse, refer to the guide on our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then bring your horse back inside. Repeat these steps for all the stalls in your horse stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
