Boy, I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong :new_shocked: :bgrin Everyone so far except for Nootka it takes 15 minutes or a little more :new_shocked: ?
It takes me" total time" from picking stalls, getting all the pee spots everyday, emptying waterbuckets & filling them, feeding & graining..on average 1 & 3/4 hours(give or take 10 minutes) depending on how long they have been in that day. That is not including letting everyone back in. But, I am very fussy about stall cleaning. My BARN IS CLEANER THAN MY HOUSE.. :lol:
I have 11 stalls (2) -12x 14 & (9)- 8x10 with dirt floors and we just started adding mats to the ones that like to PAW BIG HOLES! :new_shocked: :no:. Oh, all of mine have shavings except two stalls with are stripped & rebedded every 7 days unless they need it sooner. 1 foaling stall has chopped straw in it and the other has shaving because it is being shared by my 2 yr old colt and my now yearling colt and one of my other smaller stalls has chopped straw as well for my recently diagnosed COPD mare.
It does take longer to do the straw covered ones and I do have one mare that is an absolute PIG :no: She is a sweet little girl but, boy is she messy. I have had her since she was a yearling too and she still has not been trained good in a stall.
The rest of mine are pretty darn good especailly if I have had them since they were young for some reason. I have a certain way I do things for stall training and it usually works for me but not with this one :new_shocked: . Nothing has worked... so I guess for now I will have to keep stripping her stall 2 to 3x a week! Oh and she is also one of the worst of the pawers too! She will DIG TO CHINA in front her stall door. So, we have temporarily stopped that by putting board down infront of her door and making it stationary to the floor so she stopped doing it there for now anyway
: until a stall mat can be added in hers as well.
