Design a Better Horse Stall

of the stall for observation. Position fixtures at least eight feet high to minimize contact with the horse. For further protection provide a shatterproof cage which is available at most lighting supply stores.
All electrical wiring in the barn should be housed in metal or hard plastic conduit since rodents may chew unprotected wires creating a fire hazard. Metal conduit can be used but has the tendency to rust. Position electrical wiring out of reach of horses children and pets.
Fresh air should be available to every horse for good respiratory health. A window which opens for each stall eave and ridge vents and no ceiling or at least a high ceiling will enhance fresh air exchange. Storing hay and bedding over the top of the stalls is not recommended. Not only are these substances a fire hazard but they also carry allergens and inhibit air circulation.
Open panels on the tops of stall dividers and open mesh doors help the air circulate within the stall interior. Often the stable aisles are well ventilated while the stalls suffer from stagnant air caused by poor air circulation.
