Article:
It is very important to decide whether to keep your horse with
you or choosing a nearby stable that would accommodate your
horse. It all depends upon the size of your property and the
amount of money that you can spend. If you think that it is
difficult for you to keep the horse on your land, you can find a
suitable stable maintained by professionals to keep your horse.
However, this would cost money, and your horse would be away
from you. If you decide to keep your horse on your property and
are ready to invest on the facility for your horse, a few things
should be kept in mind.
Your horse would require a huge amount of space to roam. Make
sure you have large grounds for your horse.
Be prepared for a regular maintenance of the stable, once it is
built. Unhealthy and dirty stables can lead to diseases in your
horse. Make sure you have proper arrangements and equipment to
clean the stable on a regular basis.
The food storages should be extremely clean. Remember it is very
important to keep food clean to avoid diseases. Adequate supply
of water should be arranged. Storage tanks should be installed
to avoid lack of water.
The surrounds of the facility should be properly fenced to avoid
other animals from entering the premises of your beloved horse.
It would further protect your horse from going beyond the
boundary and could save him from possible dangers. You should
also have an indoor riding area to practice during winters. Make
special arrangements for winter season. It is important to keep
your horse warm in order to derive the best output in terms of
performance.
The stable should be free from parasites. It should not contain
sharp edges, which might hurt the horse. It should be well
protected from rains and dust storms, or any other from of
dangerous conditions for that matter. Cleaning should be done on
a daily basis. Dust and moulds should be removed as soon as
encountered in the stable. The stable should be cleaned from
urine and faeces. These are sources of ammonia, which is not
good for health. Install proper drainage systems in the facility.
Make sure that you install proper ventilation systems. Fresh air
is an important thing to keep your horse healthy. The facility
should be well ventilated.
Bedding should be warm and free from dust. Dust can be
irritating for your horse and can cause diseases including
diseases of the skin. The horse should enjoy the bedding rather
than getting irritated. It should provide adequate cushion and
support to the horse. A number of synthetic beddings are
available in the market.
Darkness has a bad impact on the behavior ! The stable should be
well equipped with lighting sources. Never keep the horse in
darkness. This would have a great impact on the behavior of the
horse. He might get aggressive and develop bad habits.
In a nutshell: keep the stable clean, well ventilated, fenced,
drained and bright.
