Horse Stall FAQ's
What is the difference between a stall and a stable?
A stable is typically the structure where stalls are housed. Stalls are the individual spaces in the stable for the animals.
What are the components of a high-quality horse stall?
A sturdy stall door is important, as is a good latching system. A V-shaped yoke or opening for the horse to get a good view of the aisleway can be crucial. Properly spaced grille bars for the size and type of horse that will be in the stall are necessary. Use 1-1/2” to 2” thick wood for the stall front and partitions so the horse cannot kick through the material. Water and feeder access via a trough or corner feeder is recommended. Cutouts in the stall front grille or hinged feed doors are helpful when working from outside the stall.
How big should horse stalls be?
Please see four “Stall Sizing” section on the Main Page of Horse Stalls under Products.
What should be done to help properly maintain a stall?
- Grease hinges every 6 months to keep doors operating properly.
- Ensure that lumber is sealed with a good polyurethane to prevent moisture from seeping into the lumber over time.
- Regularly check trolleys and all hardware for proper operation.
- Use Chewguard on exposed posts to prevent the horse from chewing on those areas.
What are a few benefits of properly-built horse stalls?
The main benefit of a properly built stall is safety for the horse. The use of quality materials will keep the stall intact during any kicking from the horse, and properly spaced grilles will prevent a hoof from getting stuck between the bars. Ease of access into and out of the stall in case of an emergency is also important. Quality hardware will ensure that doors operate properly.
Why do horses sometimes not like stalls and what can be done to help train the horse?
Increase stall time gradually. Provide toys and treats that they must work to get. A mirror can entertain horses by allowing them to see themselves. Make the stall easily accessible during turnout time in case of bad weather or a cold climate. Normal turnout time is 12 hours a day.
How much does Sunset Valley Metalcraft charge for building a horse stall?
Pricing a horse stall will vary depending on the size, options, and materials used for construction. We work with our customers to provide advice on the features they need to determine the cost of the type of stall that suits their needs, ensuring good quality and safety for their horses.
What is the process Sunset Valley Metalcraft uses for estimating a horse stall?
Sunset Valley’s customers usually have a good idea of the features they want for their new stalls. Once we know the size of the stall and the options they select, along with the style of partition/divider they desire, we can provide our customers with an estimate. We also like to have a floor plan for the barn so that we can determine the direction in which the doors need to slide and inquire about the style of latch to be used in the production of the stall doors.
We offer site visits to our customers who are within the range of the shop to assist in taking measurements and provide onsite advice to our customers in real time. Additionally, drawings are provided for our customers and installers to review and approve before production. If Sunset Valley is handling the installation, our crew manager will review the measurements, and the customer will need to approve the appearance.
