equestrian - Building an Emergency Temporary Horse Stall

Equestrian Commercial

Quite often, riders think only about their own comfort and appearance and spend lavishly on their apparel, forgetting that their horse also deserves the highest of comfort levels. All horses need a lot of care whether they are enjoyed simply for recreation or for professional sport and other commercial purposes. So your horse needs quality equestrian equipment whether you are a professional rider or a casual one. It is very much a part of proper horse care, which also includes feeding and bathing, proper stables, grooming to observe any injuries, bites, cuts etc which may need first aid attention. Proper equipment must be ready and handy to provide the best of health and long life to your horses.

If you happen to have a garage or an outbuilding that is strong and has a small area inside you can put up some temporary barriers to contain your horse for a short while. The area will need to be free of any chemicals poisons or pesticides. An area of approximately 4X6 or 4X8 feet will do for an emergency stall.

The most important thing to remember is that the equipment you purchase fits the horse well. Equestrian equipment should be of the right size and style. In other words, the horse should be comfortable and happy with it. Any problem with the equipment is bound to affect the horse as well as the rider. Hence, if the horse resents any of the equipment because it is uncomfortable, it is wise to replace them with matching ones rather than forcing the ones that you have onto an unwilling animal.

If the building is small enough and is free of anything the horse cannot get into then just let the horse loose in the building for a temporary period.

If the horse ran threw the fence he may need medical attention so he or she should be, checked over to see if there are cuts or scrapes from the fence. It is not a common occurrence however, it does happen occasionally.

If it is at all possible, you should build your horse a permanent stall for the times when the horse needs to be, stalled. Bad weather, illness, or to keep the horse out of the direct heat and sunlight things such as this is where a nice stall comes in handy. Moreover, the times something unexpected should happen then you will have a secure stall ready and waiting.

Always keep the stall as clean as possible for the emergencies if they do occur and you will not have to worry with cleaning it before you leave your horse for the night. You can just simply lock him up securely and the come back in the morning when you have the sunlight to repair the fence
