My yearling pees... a lot. He is a very neat guy so he poops on the back wall and pees right in the dang middle. I bed their stalls pretty deep but the smell of ammonia in his is SO strong. They only go in at night at the moment, as we have a wolf problem in our area and the soil in our area is very sandy - so the drainage is good. I've tried lime and cat litter. Maybe I'm not putting enough down? Do I put several bags of lime and pack it down? What do you do to keep your stalls smelling fresh(er)?

Clean in morning if possible, let dry open all day and cover it back up when you put them in at night. If it's penetrating the ground a lot pack down some lime. You can try baking soda, but you may need a lot of it depending on the size of the wet spot. I don't think cat litter works for the smell unless you get one with baking soda, but I'm sure people have found others that work. I used to get a deodorizer from TSC for stalls, maybe check a local feed store for one.

Let it dry out with StallFresh when they aren't in it! Even if you have to keep them in, put a layer of StallFresh down and cover with shavings. It's glorious!

I've tried cleaning in the mornings and it doesnt seem to help at all. I'm going to try packing some lime tonight to see if that helps. I'll look into the stallfresh but I know we dont have that anywhere near me! Thank you all!!

if its alot and in the same place you could dig out the area about 12" deep. put in chat rock 8" and then a layer of lime and fill with dirt. That should help dranage and smell. you could add stall fresh to the pit before the dirt and lime. little labor intensive but have seen this work well in geldings stalls.
