Keeping a horse yard clean is part of everyday stable management. From hay and feed to leaves, bedding and general dirt, debris can quickly build up around stables, gateways, driveways and walkways.
For yards where horses and other livestock are present, however, cleaning equipment needs to do more than simply get the job done. It needs to be practical, effective and, ideally, quiet enough that it doesn't unnecessarily disturb the animals. That is where the Westermann Battery Farm Sweeping Brush WR870 comes into its own.
For horse owners, livery yards and smallholdings looking for a more efficient way to keep hard surfaces clean, the Westermann WR870 offers a useful combination of power, manoeuvrability and quiet operation. Check it out in action below!
Quiet Sweeping Around Horses and Livestock
Horses can be sensitive to unfamiliar sounds, particularly sudden or loud noises. Traditional petrol-powered machinery can make routine yard cleaning unnecessarily disruptive, especially when working close to stables, livestock or other animals.
The Westermann WR870 farm sweeper uses a 12V battery-powered motor, giving it near-silent operation compared with petrol-powered Westermann models. This makes it particularly well suited to horse yards, livestock areas and other noise-sensitive environments.
You can sweep around stables, yards and walkways without creating the same level of engine noise – helping you keep on top of cleaning while causing less disturbance to the animals.
Ideal for Keeping Horse Yards Clean
The WR870 is designed to tackle the everyday debris found around farms and animal areas. Its polypropylene brush is suitable for sweeping materials including animal feed, leaves and other surface debris, making it a practical addition to routine yard maintenance.
Use it across areas such as:
- Stable yards
- Around field shelters and gateways
- Farm driveways
- Animal sheds
- Paved and hard-surface walkways
- Areas around feed stores
- Paths between stables and paddocks
Rather than relying on a traditional broom for large areas, the powered radial brush helps you cover ground quickly and consistently.
Get into Corners, Cracks and Awkward Areas
One of the advantages of the Westermann’s radial brush design is its ability to reach into corners and surface irregularities that conventional horizontal sweepers can struggle with. The angled brush is designed to direct debris effectively, helping remove dirt from around edges and into awkward areas. That can be particularly useful around stable blocks, where dirt, hay and feed can accumulate against walls, kerbs and other edges.
The brush height can also be adjusted using the jockey wheel underneath the brush, allowing you to choose a lighter or more powerful brushing action depending on the job and surface.
Less Noise and Less Dust Around Your Animals
A well-maintained horse yard makes everyday stable work more pleasant, helping to create a cleaner and more comfortable environment for both people and animals.
The Westermann Battery Farm Sweeping Brush offers a quieter alternative to petrol-powered sweeping equipment, while still packing enough punch to make cleaning large areas considerably less labour-intensive than using a conventional broom.
And, because you're able to keep on top of loose feed, leaves and surface debris more easily, regular sweeping will become a much simpler part of the daily yard routine.
Up to 2.5 Hours of Yard Sweeping Per Charge
The 12V 66Ah battery provides up to 2.5 hours of use per charge, giving plenty of operating time for regular yard cleaning. As well as this, the radial brush has an 870mm working width allowing you to cover a substantial area, while remaining compact enough for practical use around a stable yard. Then, when you've finished, the handlebars fold down for simple storage or transportation.
For yards that regularly need to move larger quantities of animal feed or bedding, there’s also a Deep Drum option, which adds 5cm of drum height to accommodate deeper piles of material.
A Smarter Way to Sweep Your Horse Yard
Cleaning around horses doesn't have to mean choosing between performance and keeping noise to a minimum.

From sweeping up loose feed outside the stables to clearing leaves and keeping walkways tidy, it’s designed to make routine outdoor cleaning easy and efficient.
Less noise. Less manual sweeping. A cleaner yard. If you're looking for a practical horse yard sweeper that can work comfortably around livestock and in noise-sensitive areas, the Westermann Battery Farm Sweeping Brush WR870 is well worth the investment.
