Well to be honest I have ADD so I have trouble focusing. I spend a lot of time staring at the wall and thinking about what I didn’t get done at work or what I want to make for dinner. I am equally slow house cleaning lol!
The length of time actually sounds about like what I can do (for reference - I did 23 12x12 stalls, including dumping/refilling water, two rounds of grain, and two rounds of bring in/turnout in right about that amount of time once a week for years). However, I’ve been doing this for a lot longer than it sounds like you have, and mucking stalls is definitely something that you get more efficient at over the years. I personally find that deeply bedded stalls are MUCH easier to clean properly than thinly bedded ones, because the entire stall doesn’t become soaked when there is plenty of bedding to absorb and contain the wet spots - that rule doesn’t apply to horses who like to pace and pulverize their manure, though.
I do agree that you should find a better solution than attempting to clean stalls with stallions in them - moving to an empty stall/crossties/etc. That situation is a wreck waiting to happen.
