Horse Stall Cleaning More Than Just Cleaning

by Maryanne Goff

Horses are beautiful majestic creatures that can be ridden and used in a variety of different ways. They graze on grass and eat hay, vegetables such as carrots, oats and grains. The deposits of a horse are pretty much everywhere they roam and of course where they are housed. They are usually domesticated and live on farms and ranches and are usually housed in stalls or paddocks; thus leading to horse stall cleaning which is all part of ownership and care.

The daily activity of mucking is a good indicator of the digestive health of your animal. By examining the waste and looking at the size, shape, color and consistency you can tell how the digestive system of your horse is working. It can be provide signs of a healthy animal or be a good indicator of a nervous animal. The smell can also indicate if there is something wrong especially if it is a more acrid odor than what manure general radiates.

When preforming this unpleasant yet necessary task the proper attire and tools are important. The ammonia from the urine can cause damage to the stitching on riding boots; therefore it is recommended to wear rubber boots or some sort of work boots. Wearing gloves can protect your hands from blisters and also help shield them from direct contact with feces and urine.

It is important to be prepared with the proper tools and clothing when preforming this job. It is recommended that work boots or rubber boots be worn because the stitching in riding boots can be damaged by the ammonia found in the feces. It is also smart to wear some gloves in order to protect your hands.The tools that are typically used to clean the stalls are a pitch fork, a shovel, a wheel barrow, and a stable broom. One you have gathered the necessary tools you will need to prep the stall for cleaning by clearing the water and food containers out, relocating the horse and removing any other items that are present. You do not necessarily need to do a full blown stall striping every day but it is important to remove the old bedding and anything saturated with urine and feces. Stripping should be done on a weekly basis in order to disinfect the area.

In preparation for the cleaning, everything should be removed. This includes feed and water bins and toys. Of course you should relocate the animal while you are preforming the task. Usually the best time to muck is when the horse is out to pasture. The job only takes about thirty minutes or so to complete, so it is not a long daunting task.

This unpleasant but necessary task can also be useful in determining the digestive health of a horse. The color, size, smell and composition of the manure are very informative in regards to digestive health. There are also uses for this byproduct. It can be used as fertilizer and believe it or not, it can be used as a heating product. Manure bricks are said to produce higher heat than hardwoods. The ash that is created is also environmental friendly compared to some heat sources.

In general most people consider manure to be disgusting and full of disease. This is not the case though. Horse manure is less likely to care disease and parasites making it highly unlikely for someone to catch something by coming in contact. Human feces, dog feces and cat feces are more likely to care disease and parasites making them more dangerous to come in contact with.

Horse stall cleaning may not be the most pleasant part of having or working with these majestic creatures. However, once completed the animal and anyone in close vicinity will appreciate the efforts made. It also will reduce the possibility of unwanted bugs, mold and mildew. Even though they are animals they do not like living in filth.
