Tips to help your horses sleep.

Having a restful sleep can sometimes be the start to a great day as a human.

And the same goes for our horses.

Here are some ways you can help your horse have the best nights sleep:

–          Make sure your stable is big enough for your horse. This enhances their manoeuvrability.

–          Clean bedding and deep bedding to protect their joints from a hard floor or prevent them being cast.

–          Ensure a quiet environment, if this can’t be controlled you can always introduce white noise to block out any unwanted sounds that might disturb them.

–          Turn off the barn lights – like[KH1]  humans horses like to sleep in a dark environment. This also helps them regulate their body clock.

–          Keep them with their friends, horses are herd animals who sleep better surrounded by other horses. But make sure they get on, otherwise they’ll be awake all night arguing.
