You’ve made a decision to buy a horse, now what? Have you thought about what you are going to feed it? Do you know where you are going to keep it? These are all important questions one must first think about before making such a big decision. Well, I can help you answer one of those questions. When it comes to providing the animal with a place to live, my choice is a clean horse stable. They are a great place for your horse to call home. 

Horses are wonderful and friendly animals. As a new horse owner it is necessary to provide them with a great deal of comfort and attention in order for them to stay in top health. Therefore, it is important you pay close attention to every little detail involved with maintaining a horse stable.

There are several factors you need to be aware of in regards to operating a clean and satisfactory horse stable. Here are some of the few that I believe are the most important:

As you noticed, horses are big animals. They require a lot of space and ample light in their stables. Spending too much time in darkness or in cramped spaces will negatively affect the horse mentally and physically. They are more prone to become sick quicker than one in a comfortable stable area. It has been observed that horses exhibit aggressive and uncooperative behavior when they are kept in dark places for long.

Cleanliness is easily one of the most critical aspects of a horse stable. I always am carefully that my stable doesn’t become inundated with flies, parasites, dust and molds. All of these can be extremely harmful to the horse’s health. If you do have a fly problem in your stable, I recommend some good horse fly sheets and natural insect repellants. My stable also has a high-quality drainage system in it. This allows for the effortless removal of feces and urine.

You can’t forget about its bedding. The stable must be equipped bedding that is both warm and comfortable. A horse that does not have good bedding is a horse that will not get enough rest. This means it won’t work as hard and also display negative behaviors towards other animals. Choose bedding that is comfortable and soft bedding for the stable. Most horse owners use a combination of hay and rubber mating. It’s easy on the horse and makes for a quick cleanup every few days.
