ServicesHorse barns
Horse barn washing, stall by stall.
We wash horse barns and stables at your farm, from the rafters down: stalls, aisles, walls and ceilings, fans and windows, wash bays and indoor arena kick walls. Our rig brings hot and cold water pressure washers and hoses, and we hook up to your water. Book it as your spring or fall barn wash, with the horses out for the day.

01 · When to book
Spring or fall, on your schedule.
Pick a mild, dry day with the horses out, or call when a stall empties. We’ll get back to you to agree a day and a price.
Any time
When a stall empties
Single stalls, foaling stalls and wash baysYour quote gives the time
A boarder moves out or a mare and foal move on: tell us which stalls, and we wash them while they’re empty.
Indoor arenas, between rides
Kick walls, framing and wallsYour quote gives the time
We agree with you before the day how the footing is protected and where the wash water goes.
Winter
Dec–Feb
Little or no washing in cold barns
Wash water freezes on the floor of an unheated barn, and the stalls can’t dry. Heated barns and wash bays can go on a mild day.
Spring
Mar–May
Spring barn wash, once the cold breaksYour quote gives the time
Pick a mild, dry day with the horses out on turnout, and open the doors so the barn dries before they come back in.
Summer
Jun–Aug
Barns with the horses out on pastureYour quote gives the time
Warm days dry a washed barn fastest. Add the stall fans and windows while the barn is empty.
Fall
Sep–Nov
Before the horses come in for winterYour quote gives the time
Wash while the days are still mild, so the barn dries before the nights freeze.
02 · What we wash
The whole barn, or just the stalls.
Tell us what you want done. We wash from the rafters down, so the dust from above never lands on clean stalls.
- Stalls, top to bottom
- Stall fronts, doors and grilles
- Stall walls and partitions
- Aisles
- Walls, ceilings, rafters and trusses
- Stall fans and barn fans: guards and blades, with the motors covered first
- Windows
- Wash bays and grooming stalls
- Tack-room and feed-room exteriors, with the doors shut
- Indoor arena kick walls, framing and walls, with the footing protected as agreed with you
- Barn siding and doors, outside
- Disinfecting after the wash, when you ask: a Health Canada product with a DIN, at the label rate and contact time; your vet’s choice, or one we agree with you
You do
Before we arrive
- Pick a mild, dry day, and tell us how many stalls and what else is on your list: wash bay, tack-room exteriors, arena.
- Get the horses out of the barn for the day: on turnout, or in another barn.
- Strip the stalls: bedding, manure and hay out. Take out buckets, hay nets, feeders, blankets and anything hanging on the stall fronts.
- Shut the tack-room and feed-room doors, and tell us what must stay dry.
- Hay in a loft overhead? Tell us when you book, and we agree how to keep the spray off the loft floor.
- Tell us your stall floors: concrete, or mats over stone dust or clay. Water can pool on packed floors, so we agree how wet the stalls get.
- Unplug the stall fans, turn the power off where we’ll spray, and cover outlets, lights, panels and water heaters.
- Washing the arena? Tell us your footing, and agree with us how it’s covered and where the water goes.
- Show us a hydrant or tap, and where the wash water drains. If your well is slow or also waters the horses, tell us when you book.
We do
On wash day
- Bring the rig: hot and cold water pressure washers and hoses. We hook up to your water.
- Wash from the rafters down: cobwebs and dust off the trusses and ceiling, then the fans and windows, the walls, the stalls and the aisles.
- Work stall by stall, in the order we agreed with you.
- Wash the wash bay, the tack-room exteriors and the arena kick walls when they’re on your list.
- Use soap or disinfectant only where it’s needed, matched to your farm’s specs. Animal-safe products only.
- Walk the barn with you before we pack up.

Every horse barn is different, so we price yours after a few questions or photos. These are the things that change the price:
- How many stalls, and their size
- Stall build: wood boards, steel grilles or block walls
- Ceiling height, and open rafters and trusses
- Build-up: dust, cobwebs and fly specks
- Stall floors: concrete, or mats over stone dust or clay
- Fans, windows and lights to wash or cover
- Extras: wash bay, tack-room exteriors, arena kick walls and framing
- Disinfecting, and whose product
- Water supply at the barn
05 · Questions
Straight answers.
Something else on your mind? Call or text — you’ll talk to the crew, not a call centre.
When should I book a horse barn wash?
Book it in spring or fall, on a mild, dry day with the horses out, so the barn dries before they come back in. Single stalls can go any time they’re empty. Short notice? Call or text: if we have room, we’ll come.
Do the horses need to be out of the barn?
Yes, for the day. The national Code of Practice for equines (NFACC, 2013) recommends taking horses out of the building, where possible, when cleaning stalls, and letting the dust settle before they go back in. Turnout or another barn both work.
Do I need to supply the water?
Yes. Our rig carries hot and cold water pressure washers and hoses, not water. We hook up to your hydrant or tap. If your well is slow or also waters the horses, tell us when you book.
Hot water or cold? Soap, or just water?
Both: our washers run hot or cold, whichever the job needs. Hot water is quicker on grime and caked-on dirt; cold water does for dust and rinsing. Soap or disinfectant goes on only where it’s needed, matched to your farm’s specs. Animal-safe products only.
Why wash the rafters and cobwebs?
Ontario’s agriculture ministry (OMAFA) lists cobwebs and dust on building surfaces and equipment as highly combustible, and advises removing them to reduce the risk of barn fire. We start at the rafters, so nothing falls on clean stalls.
Do you clean stall fans and windows?
Yes: fan guards and blades, and the windows, inside and out where we can reach. Unplug the fans first. We cover the motors rather than soak them; OMAFA advises cleaning fan motors with compressed air.
Will it soak my stall floors?
Concrete floors drain and dry. Mats over stone dust or clay are different: water can pool under them and in packed floors. Tell us your floors when you book, and we agree with you how wet the stalls get.
Can you wash an indoor arena?
The kick walls, framing and walls, yes. We agree with you before the day how the footing is covered and where the wash water goes. Footing needs even moisture: Penn State Extension notes that the loose, dry areas are less stable than the well-watered spots, so plan to drag the footing afterwards.
Do you disinfect?
When you ask, after the wash, because disinfectant doesn’t work on dirt. We use a Health Canada-registered product (look for the DIN) at the label rate and contact time: your vet’s choice, or a product we agree with you.
How do you price a horse barn?
By the job: how many stalls, ceiling height and build-up, the stall floors, and extras like the wash bay or arena kick walls. A few phone photos help us quote.
