Horse Run-In Sheds for Sale in PA, MD, and NJ
People move to the Mid-Atlantic area for lots of reasons, one being the stunning green spaces for their beloved horses. It’s beautiful to see horses ambling along, their heads down munching on grass, or just standing at the fence checking out the people admiring their world.
Barns notwithstanding, on some wet, snowy, or windy days horses need a Glick Woodworks run-in shed. They get hot in summer and cold in winter just like we do. They no more like getting wet than anything else does, so they seek shelter.
They appreciate owners who build run-in sheds for them, especially to keep their feet dry. Terrible things happen to horses with wet feet, and here’s what you need to know about keeping them properly covered during inclement weather conditions.
Horse Sheds: Structures Built to Last
Nothing about horses is inexpensive, so protect your investment. A horse run-in shed is a great way to keep your animals safe from the weather, and more so, unwanted guests. These horse sheds have a covered top and three walls with one open side.
The horse run-in shed should have at least 100 square feet in which the horse can turn around and stand comfortably. The floor should be slightly tilted to facilitate both drainage and ease of access for the animal. Any run-in shed for sale should have drainage around it instead of through it for the health of the horses’ feet. Most are built with sturdy materials making it difficult for horses to kick through. Any metal fasteners used are either covered or in a secure area to not injure the horses. You’ll find that all Glick Woodwork’s run-in sheds for sale are sturdy and constructed of good quality materials so your horse will be safe and secure.
