Efficient stall cleaning for highly cared for horses! Clean a stall well and save costs on shavings…

My main responsibility is running my FEI dressage training barn and training and teaching… but in light of all the talk about barn workers needing to make a better wage, I thought a quick video on how to clean a stall with as little waste as possible could help some barn managers to show their staff and working students how not waste shavings.
If shavings cost average $6.50/bag, and you use 6/week, thats $39/week. If you can knock that down to 3/week, you save $20/horse/week. 10horses, thats $200/week. Which wouldbe a very big raise for a barn worker doing ten stalls!!!
Im a believer in practicing what I preach, so here we go… Im cleaning the stall of the dirtiest horse in the barn. On video. With a very flattering wide angle view!!! Lol.
PS! My wheelbarrow was already half full when I started the stall!!
Hope this is useful!

That's why I like the fine shavings!

So no shovel for the wet stuff?

6 bags a week? For one horse horse or all the stalls?
