Waste Management
It’s a chore no horse owner looks forward to, but it’s one of the most crucial to the health of your animals and your horse farm: waste management. Horses are big animals (you’ve probably noticed), and keeping them and their surroundings clean is no mean feat. Here are some tips on how to reduce waste and responsibly manage what’s leftover.
Stalls and Shavings

But that soft, fluffy bed can be a pain for you when the time comes to clean it out: it’s hard to dig through, and the shavings that compose it are some of the most annoying things you’ll ever get stuck in your socks. But bedding is still a necessity in order to soak up waste and excess moisture in your horse’s stall. What to do? Read more about Green Horse keeping.

Their sheer number, from Anthony to Summerfield, is a testament to the Ocala area’s tireless contributions to the world of thoroughbred racing.
