Hello World! Welcome Friends! Having a rural property can be a dream come true and provide many opportunities for enjoying the outdoors. It also provides space for horses, and for many people, that can also be an incredible way to enhance their lives (and their family’s lives) through the beauty and wonder of these animals. For some, having horses might also be part of a small business or farming activities. Others might be looking for temporary horse shelters on their properties for a special event.
Regardless of the reason for having horses on your rural property, it requires having the proper places for these majestic animals to rest and have a safe shelter. There are a variety of ways to use portable horse stalls on a country property that keep the look and design of the area gorgeous and welcoming. A few tips, questions, and ideas can help along the way.
Think About All Your Property Features
Whether you are hosting a special event or looking for a horse’s everyday needs, considering where to place portable horse stalls in North Carolina or other states where horses thrive can help keep your property looking its best.
Consider all the different features of your property. Is there specific custom landscaping to think about or places where people gather? Are there water features to consider in the overall design? Are there gardens or fields with crops that need to be considered? Maybe there are sections with more vegetation or dense trees that you’ll need to work around. Looking at the specifics of each unique rural property can help with the decision of the stall placement.
Considering Views and Property Lines
Your rural property may have beautiful features and a look you love. If there are special views you want to preserve, consider these before designating where the stalls will be placed. If you have a view with hills or higher land in some places, for example, having the stalls lower on the property won’t obstruct the view from the elevated areas.
Considering where your property lines lie might also help make the decision. According to Equus Magazine, most states have specifications on how far manure must be placed from a neighbor’s land, well, or waterway. Knowing the required distance will help you stay in compliance (and keep your neighbors happy).
Practical Aspects and Access to Essentials
Another question to ask when determining the location of the temporary horse stalls is whether or not the location is practical for day-to-day (or special event) use. Will the location allow access to water or buildings or storage areas where supplies are kept? What is the maximum distance from the home that would work for daily care and activities? Are pastures accessible from the desired location? Also, consider which way the stalls will need to face for protection and access. Having the stalls located in a place where the land is level or not prone to water runoff will help protect both horses and the property.
Stall Size, Style, and Features
Standard stalls can work for many situations, but in others custom stalls might be necessary. If you have specific needs or preferences for your location and situation, you can work with a metal crafting company that specializes in horse stalls to create custom temporary stalls that will fit your needs exactly.
Maximum Sustainability
Due to the design and flexible nature of portable horse stalls, these are an excellent way to promote sustainability as well. These types of stalls may require a lower consumption of raw materials, contain recycled materials, and have a lighter transportation burden.
Portable Horse Stalls Allow for Changing Needs
Whether you’re hosting a special equine event on your rural property or looking for sturdy temporary shelters for horses on your property, portable stalls offer a variety of unique benefits. If you need a different arrangement, additional stalls, or need to make changes, there are plenty of options with portable designs. While good planning can help eliminate the need for changes, portable stalls make it easier to adapt and meet your specific needs.
Quality stalls paired with the right placement and design are not only practical, functional, and convenient, but they can also help protect the beauty and aesthetic of your rural property. Thanks to the ability to use them for special occasions or events or for temporary arrangements, they also make it easier to adapt to different situations. Adding portable horse stalls to your property can be simple and beneficial, letting you celebrate your investment and make the most of your land.
If you have outdoor animals such as horses, consider where you’ll place their home, too. From portable horse stalls to more permanent structures, they can have their dream home too.
