Horse shelter and horse stable

The horse shelter is where the horse will sleep at night or stay when sick or tired. It is thus a place that should be comfortable, safe and dry. The shelter is also called the horse stable. Try to keep the horse shelter or horse stable as clean and neat as possible. Don't hang all the horse care equipment and horse shelter cleaning equipment in the shelter or horse stable to prevent injuries and a mess. Keep them in a seperate space close to the horse shelter and try to get horse riding equipment and horse care equipment hooks to hang them.

It is essential to have a hay fork, a broom and brush as well as bucket close by. You also need a horse poop collector. Give the horse something to graze on in the horse stable or horse shelter. Hang a net filled with hay in the horse stable to ensure that it can still graze. Also fit a manger over the door for feeding. Ensure that you always have a bucket filled with fresh water for your horse in the stable.

Ensure that the horse doesn't get bored in the horse shelter by including horse toys such as a salt lick and balls that hang from the roof with fruit or molasses treats to lick.

Provide enough bedding for the horse to lie on in the horse shelter or the horse stable. If you have an open end horse shelter the open end should face away from the the most wind.
