Boarding facilities; aisle barns; shedrow barns; run-in sheds. There are so many options when it comes to equine housing, it can be difficult to narrow down which one is best for you and your horse!
While you may not initially consider a portable run-in shed as one of your first choices, there is a case to be made for the benefits they offer you, your horse, and your property. Check out our team’s top five reasons for investing in a portable run-in shed!
1) Easy Maintenance
The work that goes into keeping a run-in shed in good working condition is nowhere near as extensive as what’s required to maintain a full aisle barn or horse stable. Since your horse is not confined in one of these structures, there’s much less for you to clean and restock.
2) Freedom for Your Horse
How would you like being stuck in a stall you can barely turn around in for a majority of your life? You wouldn’t—and neither does your horse! With a run-in shed, they have the freedom to roam around and enjoy the outdoors whenever they want. Then, they’ll have a reliable shelter to return to when they’re tired or need cover.
3) Fire Safety
The possibility of a barn fire is always scary. However, if you house your horse in a portable run-in shed, you don’t have to worry about them getting trapped inside. Plus, these structures are less of a fire risk than full-sized barns as it is!
4) Affordability
Run-in sheds are durable and long-lasting, without the high price tag of a brand-new horse barn! A run-in shed is an economical investment that will provide your horse with the quality protection they need from the elements for years.
5) Flexibility & Convenience
One of the biggest advantages of a portable run-in shed is that you can move it around your property to accommodate your changing needs. If you need to change the layout of your pasture or paddock, or are moving to a new property, you have the convenient option of moving your shed or taking it with you!
