the way 2 tell is stand in the middle of the bed when its laied for your horse, and spin around then move and if u cn see the floor its not enough. genrally the bigger the bed the warmer the horse and lanrge banks are also needed to support the horse and avoide getting cast.

My friend puts two bales of straw down every two nights for her 3/4 highland, 1/4 arab pony. She is worried that this is not enough. Is it enough?

Should Be Fine. I'm Semi-Deep Littering Atm And Do A Full Muck Out Every 2 Weeks, And 2 Bales Seems Like Plenty, I've Learnt A Trick That Once The Walls Are Done, To Drop A Pitch Fork Around The Stable Where The Straw Is, And If There's Not Enough, You Will Hear It Hit The Ground.
