Question
hello sir,recently i have visited a stable, its so dirty.and flies when moving around horse head.may i know how to fix this problem and please suggest me how to keep a stable clean without any bad odour

Answer
HI  YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE STALLS 3 TIMES A DAY AND IF YOU GO BUY THE STALL AND SEE A PILE OF MANURE, THEN PICK IT UP.YOU CAN USE LIME ON THE FLOOR TO KEEP IT SANITARY AFTER YOU CLEAN THE STALL, AND BEFORE YOU PUT DOWN FRESH BEDDING. YOU CAN USE FLY WIPE ON THE HORSE TO KEEP THE FLIES AWAY ALSO. THE CLEANER YOU KEEP THE STALLS, THE LESS FLIES WILL COME AROUND. THANKS ED HESS

Have trained thoroughbreds for 30 odd years. Have been a licensed trainer for that long of time. I continue to train my race horses and thoroughly enjoy every day.

Experience


Experience: Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.
