the rake is used to put the manure into the scoop, which can then be emptied into the wheel barrow. The equine manure scoop has been designed for collecting horse manure in the field,
but is also very useful in the yard or stable for picking up occasional horse droppings.

How To Clean a Horse Stall
If your horse lives in a stall for any part of his day, you'll have to keep it clean. Unclean
stalls attract insects and could encourage hoof problems like thrush. Breathing ammonia
from urine saturatedbedding can be harmful to your horse's or pony's sensitive lungs. It's
unpleasent to work in and smelly for you too. Stall cleaning should be a daily task
Clear the Work Area
1 Take your horse out of the stall. A good time to muck out is when your horse is in his
pasture. If you can't put him out, put him in an empty stall. Remove all the feed tubs,
water buckets and stall toys.
Assemble Your Tools
2 Get your cleaning tools and park your wheelbarrow or cart close to the stall door facing
in the direction you'll want to go when the barrow is full. It's easier to maneuver an empty
wheelbarrow than a full one.
Dig In
3 If the stall is bedded with straw use a pitchfork to remove manure and wet or soiled
bedding. If shavings or sawdust have been used, use the shavings fork to remove manure
and wet bedding. Fork the manure into the wheelbarrow or cart. Sometimes it's easier to
pick up wet bedding with a shovel.
Head for the Manure Pile
4 Wheel the filled barrow and dump out the contents in the assigned area (the manure pile).
It's tempting to fill the wheelbarrow really high, but this can make it hard to push and easy
to tip. It's frustrating having to clean up manure a second time because you've tipped over
the wheelbarrow!
Do a Thorough Job
5 Continue cleaning out the dirty bedding. Scrape the unsoiled bedding to one side, and check
that there is not wet or manure soiled bedding hiding underneath.
Even The Surface
6 Once you've removed all the manure and wet bedding, spread the cleaner bedding back
over the whole stall area. Check around the edges of the stall as clean bedding sometimes
gets tossed against the walls as the horse moves around. This leaves a thinner area in the
middle or where the horse usually stands. Distribute the bedding evenly.
Add Clean Bedding
7 Add new bedding to replace any that has been removed. You'll either add a whole bale
of straw, or portions of one. Fluff it with a pitchfork. Some stables have truckloads of loose
shavings piled, or some buy bags of compacted shavings. Use your wheelbarrow to
transport fresh shavings to the stall, or open a bag and fluff the compacted shavings with
the shavings fork.
How Thick To Bed
8 Gauge how thick to bed by what type of floor is under the bedding and what season it is.
If there is thick rubber matting on the stall floors, bedding can be thinner. On concrete,
especially during cold weather, add more bedding to provide padding and urine absorption.
Sand floors are easier on the horses's legs, but may get saturated with urine quickly if not
enough bedding is put down.
Weekly Maintenance
9 You may want to completely strip a stall occasionally. In this case, keep filling your
wheelbarrow until the stall floor is bare. Use the shovel to scrape up remnants of bedding
and the broom to sweep it clean. You may want to put down odor control solution or stable
disinfectant. Let the floor dry before re-bedding.
Keep Alleys and Doors Clear
10 After you've finished cleaning and bedding the stall, use the broom to sweep up spilled
manure, straw or shavings in alleys and doorways. Scoop up the sweepings into the shovel
and toss them into the manure pile. Manure, chaff and bedding pushed out a doorway will
turn into a muddy mess in wet weather.
Prepare Tools for Next Use
11 Put all the tools away where they won't cause a tripping hazard.
Ready for Your Horse
12 Replace feed tubs, buckets and toys so the stall will be ready for your horse when he
comes in.
Tips:
13 Always turn the wheelbarrow pointing in the direction you want to go out in.
14 Inexpensive hangers keep cleaning tools safely out of the way.
15 Some people leave a thick padding of bedding for warmth and only clean the top surface
during winter months.
16 Use the broom to knock down spider webs every so often.
17 Inexpensive riding gloves with the sticky rubber dots are handy for handling tools and
shavings bags without slipping.
