Horse Stalls, Selecting the Right Type for Your Needs

Many people get confused when trying to decide what type of horse stalls are the best for their individual needs, so I'll break to down to the 2 major types to help your stall planning:
The most economical type is the Horse Stall Kit. "Kit" styles of horse stalls give you flexibility in building your stalls as you can order the specific type of grill, stall door and other features that make the stall work better for you and your horse. The down side to building from a kit is they do require support posts to be set into the ground for the wood of the stall to attach to. This makes the stall difficult to move or change in the future as your needs change. This stall building guide will help show you how the posts have to be set.

The second type of stall is the "modular" or "prefab" horse stalls. This type of stall can be moved easily and does not require the use of support posts. The fronts and walls lock together with brackets. This style of stall is popular with horse breeders for making foaling stalls as the walls can be added and removed easily.
This prefab stall building guide will help.

Our next blog will explain the metal types for different horse stalls and explain how the humidity levels of where you live can have a huge effect on the type of horse stalls you should consider buying.
