Foaling Stalls

  
                         
 

Starlight Ranch foaling stalls are located in an old coal shed that was brought down from a flour mill 12 miles away in 1978. At which time it was used as our hay barn. In 2004 Tom and his father began remodeling the building into two large foaling stall.

The remodeling included insulation on all walls, new sheeting, a sub floor on top of an already very sturdy timber frame floor. Installed 4 x 6 mats, lights, plugins, hay feeder, grain feeder, heated buckets, heat lamps and a camera system.

The barndry begins in a pellet form. We add two bags into our wheelbarrow, then fill with water until level with top of pellets. Leave for a while and let the pellets expand, then we dump into the stalls and spread out. For a 12 x 12 stall we use 4 bags. Amount of time they last each time bedded depends on the horse in the stall. We pick our stalls twice a day, the bedding works much like kitty litter. You pick out the poop and remove the wet spots. Most of the time a feeding will last us 4 to 6 weeks.

We then recycle the product by dumping the bedding removed from the stall when cleaning daily into our round pen or pony track. It makes awesome footing and is easy to spread around using a 4-wheeler and harrow.
