Types of Horse Stalls

Equine lovers will know how important a good horse stall is. Not only are they crucial for the safety and security of your horses, but they can also have a big impact on your equines' well-being.

The good news is you have plenty of horse stall options to choose from. Check out three different types of horse stalls to learn which one is right for your horses.

Horse Stall Materials

The material you choose can significantly impact the look and features of your horse. Some common materials for horse stalls are:

•          Stainless Steel: Rod Hinges and Finger Latches.

•          Aluminum: Finials and latch ramps.

•          Kiln-Dried T&G Hardwood Lumber: Optional for wooden sections.

•          Steel: Doorpost base plates.

Horse Stall Colors

Our stalls are available in natural colors based on the wood type you choose. The metal posts are painted dark brown or black, depending on the design. However, if you have a specific color scheme, we will work with you to customize the design.

Horse Stall Sizes

The size of horse stalls depends on the design. For example, for our Builder range, the average size is 138". If you're unsure about how big your stall should be, reach out to an expert on our team.

Horse Stall Door Type

The main choice you will have to make is whether to have a full-height door or a half-height door. Half-height doors allow horses to socialize, but full-height doors ensure that horses can be kept in isolation. Read on to find out more about the impact of different door heights.

Full-Height Stalls for Isolated Horse

Some horse breeds need to have barriers between them and others for the safety of both parties. This is particularly important if you have a stallion or a feisty horse like an Andalusian. 

These stalls from our Artisan Series have high walls and tightly spaced grills that prevent hooves from getting caught. 

Lexington Stalls

Having a secure framework will keep your horses protected. Even the most troublesome stallion won't escape from our secure Lexington stalls. 

These stalls contain:

•          Adjustable latch plates.

•          Hinged and centered high door stall.

•          Heavy-gauge steel for security.

Monterey Stalls

These stalls are perfect if you're looking for a quarantine stall. Horses that need to be kept apart from the rest of your animals will benefit from the high-quality design — maximizing airflow and safety. These designs include:

•          High, curved doors.

•          Smooth sliding nylon carriages.

•          Horizontal panels with matching steel gussets.

Half-Height Stalls for Socialized Horses

Most horses aresociable animals, so it's a good idea to provide them with a stall layout where they can interact. If your horses like to socialize, these horse stalls are perfect for them. 

Wellington Stalls

Try our new Wellington design with low construction allowing lots of airflow and the opportunity for horses to interact. They're a great option for horses of all breeds who thrive on socialization and have several important features, including:
