How do I care for my stable once it's set up?

Caring for a stable is essential for maintaining a healthy environment for both horses and their caretakers. Once a stable is set up, regular maintenance should be a priority. Begin by ensuring the stable is clean. Remove manure and soiled bedding daily to prevent the buildup of waste, which can attract pests and lead to health issues for the horses. Regularly replace soiled bedding with fresh material to create a comfortable and hygienic space. Ventilation is also crucial for a stable's upkeep. Ensure that there is proper airflow to reduce humidity and prevent respiratory problems in horses. Keeping windows and doors open when conditions permit can help, but be mindful of drafts on colder days. Check the stable for any signs of wear or damage regularly. Pay attention to fencing, gates, and the roof to ensure they do not pose any hazards. Cleaning and disinfecting water buckets, troughs, and feed containers on a regular basis will ensure that the horses have access to clean water and food. Lastly, creating a feeding and watering schedule will contribute to the horses' overall health and well-being.
