"When caring for a horse in a stable, it's important to make sure that their stalls stay clean and dry. We do this by making sure that they are cleaned, mucked out, at least once daily and that fresh saw dust is put in. We also like to keep rubber mats which help to make the cleaning process easier and provide some support for the horse. It's also an option to have a stall guard so that your horse is able to stick it's head out and the ventilation is improved. We also want to make sure, just like with any care of the horse, that there's fresh water and food available through out the course of the day. Hay and grain are usually fed when a horse is stabled."
