ASKHQ: MANURE FREQUENCY

Q: How many times should my horse manure each day?

A: This is almost impossible for us to answer, as it varies from horse to horse. You need to get a sense over time of what is normal for your horse and use that as a gauge. To give you some idea of the range, an average sized horse can defaecate anywhere from four to thirteen times each day!

Once you know the average amount of manure produced by your horse each day, you should observe for any changes in this. If you are concerned that your horse is producing more or less than he usually does, or that anything about the manure is different to normal, contact your vet.
