Purpose: Keeping the stable area neat and clean is one of the prime goals of good horse management.
Requirements: Cleaning equipment should be clean, in good repair, and appropriate to the task.
Manure Fork or Shovel: Forks and shovels are used for mucking stalls and picking up manure outside of the stall. Make sure you bring the correct fork for your bedding; pitchforks with tines work well with straw, manure forks aka "muckrakes" with baskets work well with shavings and sawdust.
Rake or Broom: a rake or broom is handy for sweeping stall and aisles and picking up smaller pieces of dirt and manure.
Manure Basket or Wheelbarrow: Used for carting manure to designated manure piles.
