Building Horse Stalls - March- April 2020

As the arrival of the new foal draws near, we decide to rebuild our horse stalls. Our old stalls are getting dated and wobbly so we make three new stalls where once we had four and we install new sliding doors.

I love the stalls, my husband and I are building a barn. Where did you buy the sliding door?

[@hervedelnorte7928]

Thanks Catherine! We are in Ontario Canada. We ordered them from a place called Marweld (@Marweld.ca) in Millbank, Ontario. They are nice people to work with.

Did Raven have her baby? What did she end up having? Nice job on the stalls!

[@hervedelnorte7928]

Yes. Raven had a nice black filly we called Piper. You can see her from birth to now in many the subsequent videos that are on my channel. Thanks for comments on the stalls!

Hi, watching your video, which I enjoy. How come to leave spacing between your boards, if a mare was too pee against your walls the urine may leak out of the pen. Thanks

[@hervedelnorte7928]

The spaces allow for air circulation within lower stall area. They are not so wide as to allow much to get out.

Hi, this looks great! What did you put under your stable mats? I couldn't see what was there. Any ideas for doing something like this if our pole barn is open on side?

[@hervedelnorte7928]

Thanks. We don’t have a specific floor in our barn other than just the natural dirt. So the mats are just on the dirt. Typically horse stalls would be in a fully enclosed barn. But if you needed to build stalls in a barn open on one side you could still use the existing side poles and maybe have to put in a few other poles to create the front of the stalls.

good effort, but boards on back of stalls look really nasty and not done with care! completely trashes the look of all the hard work you just put in :(
