Before the cold temperatures are coming to us, we took the chance to clean and paint the stable corridor and horse boxes. This way the mares, foals, young horses and seniors went back from the pasture into clean and bright boxes. The tournament and trainee horses are happy about the bright and clean boxes as well.
As special thanks to our diligent helpers!

Apart from adequate time on the paddock and pasture, we wish for occupation for our horses in their boxes. For a horse-friendly keeping, it’s important for us that a large amount of roughage is available at any time. This sadly has the major disadvantage, that the horses are spreading the hay inside the box. Some of them are even placing their droppings right onto the hay pile, despite the boxes being large. By the end of the day this means that we have to waste precious forage on the dung heap. Because of that we decided to invest in hay nets (as seen in the picture).
These nets are providing the horses with forage to at least the next feeding and they are occupied. The boxes are much cleaner than before and we don’t waste any fodder.
