What's a good way to drain your stall?

they need to be cleaned evry single day. you also have to use bedding. it is a poor idea to stable horses directly on concrete or dirt. (i have seen both in my 40 years around horses, and the horses looked like crap)

depending on where u r ..use 3 inches of clean wood shavings .or 3/4 bale of oat straw. the horse needs to be able to lay down in this.

when u clean remove all the big piles of manure first. afteru have removed the big piles...scrape the dry top part of the bedding off to one side of the stall. take a broom and shovel and completely remove all the wet bedding. sweep the entire stall out, as u have the slean bedding banked on one side of the stall out of the way. i would highly discourage any kind of lime or powder to put on the wet spts. these products can really burn a horses lungs and are not necessary if u clean right every day. all this cleaning is donw while the horse is outside in his field. right now they r out at night and come in during the day to stand in the stalls with fans on them. leave the stall bedding pulled back to the side and allow the stall to air out for severla hours, and then before u put ur horse in it ...pull the bedding back across the stall......level...and add a little bit of fresh bedding to the top.

It depends on whether it is wet from rain or horse urine. If it is rain, you could either try building a mound of dirt around the outside of the barn area where the stall is, or make a little trench coming from the stall. Try raising the area inside the stall with more fill dirt. If you are short on sawdust, try finding a carpeter or other worker who has sawdust as a byproduct from their work. As long as it is not treated lumber, you can sometimes get this for free. Make sure you clean the stall by scraping the spot where the horse urinates, by removing the top layer of sawdust and scraping underneath where it is wet. If the horse urinates in the stall, too much, try keeping it out for longer periods as long as it is safe and weather permits. When we added a glucosamine supplement to our horse's food, he seemed to urinate a little less.
