One of the most important decisions you will have to make as a horse owner is whether to keep your horse in a stall or out to pasture.

Keeping your horse in a pasture for as long as possible is usually the best choice. Not only does the pasture allow your horse to get regular exercise, but it doesn’t require as much cleanup as a stall does. In many cases, all you have to do is check up on your hoofed friend once a day to ensure that he has food and water.

However, horses can easily become injured and don’t have shelter during severe weather when they are kept in the pasture. Even if your horse is primarily a pasture horse, make sure that you have a safe, protected area for him when the weather turns bad.
