When you own a horse farm, dust is simply a reality. Horse owners know all too well that dust can get just about everywhere. Whether you’re in the arena, the barn, the trailer, or the stall, your horses are bound to “kick up a little dust”.

In most cases, it’s not a huge problem. If your barn is far away from your home, for example, you might not care about a dusty environment.

But, dust becomes a bigger issue if your barn or arena is close to where you live. Or, if you’re tired of dust getting into your car, your clothes, and just about everything else.

So, what can you do as a horse owner to combat dust on your property? Thankfully, there are steps you can take to manage it. It’s more than just a “cosmetic” problem. Getting rid of excess dust can benefit your horse’s health, as well as your own. With that in mind, let’s look at some manageable solutions for controlling dust on horse properties.
