If you have horses, you’ll need to build or buy horse stalls. How big should a horse stall be? What about horse stall doors? These are some questions you should ask yourself before buying horse stalls.

Did you know there are about 2 million horse owners in America? And there are 7.1 million involved within the industry. These include services owners, animal owners and so much more.

There are many things to consider when buying horse stalls. For example, you may choose rubber horse stall mats. Keep reading to learn 3 tips for buying horse stalls.

How to Choose the Size of a Horse Stall

Before buying a horse stall, make sure you understand sizing. The number of horses will tell you how many horse stalls you’ll need for your barn.

Your horse needs to be able to stand, lay down and turn around inside its stall. For an average-sized horse, its stall should measure around 100 square feet in size.

Most average-sized horses measure at about 15 hands high. For a taller horse, you’ll need a stall measuring around 12 by 12 feet. For a miniature breed, use an 8 by 10 stall.

Types of Stalls

When choosing your horse stall, there are many considerations you’ll need to make. For example, there are many horse stall doors available. Sliding doors make for a quiet entrance and exit for both you and your horse.

Doors with hinges work great when you’re letting your horse from its stall to outside. Make sure the stall doors reach about 4 feet across, opening wide enough to fit a wheelbarrow.

You can also invest in a set of portable horse stalls. If you do horse shows or plan on traveling with your horse, you’ll need portable horse stalls. Portable horse stalls work great for transporting livestock and so much more.

Why Choose a Portable Stall

Portable horse stalls make for simple maintenance. A portable horse stall includes just the stall with no extra clean-up like a stall inside a barn.

A portable horse stall provides your horse with more freedom. Some people place a portable horse stall outside in their field… so it allows the horse free-roam of the pasture.

Portable horse stalls are also great additions for fire safety. You likely won’t have to worry about a fire hazard affecting your horse because they aren’t inside.

What You Need to Know About Horse Stalls

There are many types of horse stalls you can choose from. Consider what kind of door and mat you want before buying a stall for your horse. Portable horse stalls are also a great option.

With so many options to choose from, it may be tough to make a decision. Choose what stall fits your horse’s needs and lifestyle. For example, if your horse lives outside, buy a portable horse stall. Once you’ve learned these tips you’ll have the knowledge to choose the right horse stall. For more tips on choosing the right stall for your horse, visit our website.
