What are some tips on mucking horse stalls faster. You have 12 to do then you have to put sawdust in.?
BriannaParker
scoop out the obviously dirty muck and screen the remaining - not so dirty muck -. We use a piece of chicken wire nailed over a 3 x 3 wood frame. It saves having to replace about half the sawdust. Scatter what goes through the screen and discard what does not. If you top-dress the stall with fresh sawdust it looks good. If you have dirt floors, do whatever is necessary to keep the dirt level. Perhaps, level your floors and then put mats in the stalls. Use plenty of dehydrated lime to deal with the ammonia. Stalls do not have to be clean... they only have to look - and smell - clean.
This is the person who wrote the question: The floors are like gravel with wire over it so the pee sinks down in and keeps the ammonia to a super low low smell. I use a pitchfork for the remaining, and the dirty, but your advice was great, thanks! The last part-- I like that- Lol.

Is a sand or sawdust stable better for seedy toe?
Sand 100%! Never use sawdust! Sawdust can severely damage a horse's lungs! And if the horse is pregnant, It can also damage the baby before it is even born! sand is almost just as bad but at the same time not nearly as bad. If I were you, I would use alfalfa, and lots of it. A woman I used to work for would only use that in her stalls, and when we would muck them, she would have us put more in there. She would always say, "I want to be able to eat off those stall floors." That is what I suggest for you and your horse.
