Instructions
Inspect the stables for moisture. If the horses have a patch of dry ground where they can remain, then there is no need to dry up the stall. If there is no dry ground available, then the stall must be dried up.
Remove all troughs and feeders and place them in an area that has excellent drainage. For example, next to a storm drain in the stable or on a slanted area where the water will drain quickly if spilled.
Spread sand over the entire wet area using a shovel. Cover the area with sand until the water is completely dried up. This will provide the horse with a dry area for standing.
Pick all the mud out of the horse's hooves and rinse them with water. Apply a solution to remove any microorganisms inside the hooves.
