This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have just started building our barn (the carriage shed blew away in Dec. and we've had to board our mare and gelding away for the winter). I would love some input on stall hardware (doors, grating, dividers, etc...sliding door mechanisms too. I know that Fords don't need anything exotic but I want something basic and functional. Would appreciate any recommendations/tips you all would care to provide.
The isle will be asphalted and the stalls on gravel with rubber mats. Each stall will have a grilled window which can be opened. Each is 10x10. Isle width is 10-12 feet -can't remember right now. Do any of you use or suggest dutch doors directly from the stalls to attached paddocks for free access? What about flip down stall doors - I love to look at horses heads hanging out of the door. What about stall divider heights - all the way up or grill at the top 3-4 feet. Thanks much -looking forward to your opinions. Carol Walker in New Hampshire!
