Gates should be installed as close to the entry point of the barn as possible. A heavy-duty gate with a latch or lock is advised. Depending on what will be passing through the gate, it may be necessary for it to be 20 feet wide if farm equipment is involved.

A gate anchor is worth considering if you will be opening and closing the gate by yourself. This handy item holds your gate open for you, acting as another pair of hands. For uneven ground, a gate wheel can be beneficial, helping the gate to open and close easily.

Stalls

Rail fences can be a pleasing addition to your property and work well with horses and other large livestock. They come in different woods and offer a range of styles, from two- to five-rail varieties.

Portable Corrals

An excellent solution for the working horse that is out on trails or doing events, portable corrals are lightweight and can fit into the back of a truck. They are durable and can offer years of service.

Flooring

Flooring for your horse’s living quarters is of the utmost importance. While most stalls have an earth floor in the stalls with a cement alleyway, natural rubber flooring is becoming more popular. This alternative provides your horse with a non-slip walkway that reduces the level of dust, which can be considerable in stables.
