The horse will be fine. Be sure that the stall is safe and there isn't anything poking out like a nail or wire or anything that he/she could hurt themselves on. I do think that you should try to turn the horse out everyday or every other day because it will get to be a little higher strung now that you are keeping it in the stall. With the proper feeding and water and turn out time, everything will be just fine and I believe the horse will be very happy. I have owned a boarding barn for 20 years and I think that most horses like the warm stalls better that standing in the pasture getting rained/snowed/sleeted on in the winter and in the summer the 100 degree weather and lightning storms. You like your warm, dry house, and so do the horses. Best wishes!!!

If you have a turn out attached to the stall, feed your horse only in the stall, but the door open. Make sure that the stall is not too small for the horse that it can lay down and get up easily and turn around without a problem. (My gf had a horse that was 17-l/2 hands, needs a big stall - a 10 x 10 would not do.). Try for a couple hours at a time to start and increase as you go along.

Strongid makes a feed-through wormer that you mix right in with the grain. The only drawback is that you have to feed the horse daily, and away from other horses so the horse gets its' full dose of wormer. Have you tried using a humane twitch on him? A twitch doesn't hurt the horse - actually releases endorphins and allows him to relax and not worry about things like a bit of wormer. I do have to admit that the wormer doesn't taste too good. ;) I was worming one of my horses and as I was pulling the cap off the paste wormer, the horse jerked his head, causing me to hit the plunger and get a bit of it in my mouth. Putting it into applesauce and squirting it into his mouth MIGHT work, but I have a horse who just has an aversion to having anything forced on him so this method may work for others, it doesn't work very well for me.

Make it a comfortable place for her. Lead her in and feed her. If it's possible, put another horse she knows in a stall next to her. Try stalling her for short periods at a time before leaving her. Make it pleasant and she'll look forward to walking in on her own.

Dont force the horse in to the stall. Make it feel like home to it. Dont get mad if he/she doesnt want to go in

if you do lessons or pony club get someone from there to help you, try and make the stable comfortable enough for them, make it cosy and safe with water, food and mabey even someone next to them (in another stall i mean)
