    If your horse eats his grain too fast a big block o pink hymalaian rock salt is great for slowing them down plus giving them the salt they need

      I like that idea! We had a senior pony that we put big smooth rocks in his feed pan, but I like the salt idea too!

    Let your horses out of the stall and roam on a Paddock Paradise. That's in their DNA ❤️

    • @ShadeTreeStables

      I totally agree. This is for times that due to injury or ice that they need to stay in. My horses are out 24/7 otherwise.

      Some horses have to be kept off grass due to laminitis and can need to be euthanized if not monitored on grass

    I never thought of horses getting bored, although that makes sense. Great ideas. My pappy built a huge indoor area ( what I now know is like an arena) where we would turn out the horses in winter when we cleaned stalls ( every morning) . I think we only had like ten or fifteen horses most of the time. We also had to walk our horses every day except in really frigid weather. All us grandkids were responsible for our own horse and we took it seriously. I don't recall them ever being bored or being destructive, although they could have been from time to time.

      That's great that you were able to do that! Yes, they get very bored. Stall life is very unnatural for horses and can really be stressful for them.

    Thank you for the ideas I’m new to stalls and I only have two horses and two miniature ponies, and one of the miniature ones bores super easily and is really fat so we took her out of pasture to go on a little diet lol

      @@judygagnon907 yes, especially miniature horses will founder and develop laminitis if they are out on grass. They can still be turned out - just with a grazing muzzle and/or out in a sand paddock. Or just bringing them in at night. Ponies can get very fat being on grass all the time - not good for joints and overall health.

      No need to be rude. There are times that everything here is covered in ice. I've known horses that have done the splits on ice and broken their pelvis. This grey horse had melanoma surgery where a tumor had to be removed from inside his TMJ and had to be on stall rest. Please think of others before you make mindless comments.
