Whether you’re a horse enthusiast in need of a small horse shed or you breed and train horses and are looking for a larger horse shelter, you understand the importance of providing the best care and protection for your equine friends.
A quality-built horse shed isn’t a luxury – it’s essential for keeping your animals safe and comfortable throughout the changing seasons. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right one?
At Lancaster Barns, we offer a wide range of equine shelters that are great alternatives to a traditional horse barn stable. Let’s take a closer look at what we offer and how they can benefit you and your prized animals.
Why a Quality Equine Shed Matters
A high-quality horse shed isn’t just designed to provide shelter to animals. There are lots of other benefits as well – for both the horse and the owner:
Protection from the Elements
Horses are strong, hardy animals but they still need protection from extreme weather conditions. Whether it’s the heat of summer, the chill of winter, or heavy rain, a good equine shelter provides a safe haven where horses can find comfort and shade from the elements.
Enhanced Well-Being
Quality outdoor horse stalls are designed to keep horses happy and healthy. Good ventilation, adequate space, and a clean environment are crucial for preventing respiratory issues and other health problems.
Storage Solution
Well-designed horse sheds offer more than just a place for your horses to stay. They also provide storage space for tack, feed, saddle needs, and other essentials. This helps keep things well-organized and easily accessible. A horse shed also helps minimize the amount of stall cleanout and shoveling that needs to be done.
Types of Equine Sheds
Lancaster Barns offers custom and pre-built horse sheds for sale and delivery within a 300-mile radius of our Lancaster, PA headquarters – including New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.
Our Amish craftsman ensure that you’ll get a horse shed that’s designed and built to be uniquely yours! Here are a few of our most popular equine shelters:
Horse Run-In Shed
A horse run-in shed is a great economical pasture shelter for your animals. These three-sided structures are more open and give animals the flexibility and freedom to seek shelter from the elements when they need it.
Our entire line of equine run-in sheds are built to last, with durable construction that can withstand the elements. Our metal run-in sheds are available in a single color or unique two-tone color combinations. Contact our team for more details about two-color pricing.
Shed Row Barn
Our shed row barns are quality-built horse stall barns that come in configurations that are both practical and stylish. These type of structures line up stalls in a single row, making them easy to manage and ideal for properties that have limited space.
You can pick the number of stalls you need and add a tack/feed room for storage. You can also include a 3.5-ft. to 10-ft. overhang for added protection from the weather. Some barn styles provide the option of adding wind walls or even closing in a portion, or all, of the overhang.
The Stall Barn with 8’ or 10’ Overhang, one of our most popular sellers, is a great choice for those who want an aisle barn but don’t have the budget for it.
Aisle Barns
For those with more extensive equine needs, large horse stable barns provide the ultimate in space and functionality. It’s the dream barn for horse lovers!
Available as either one-story or two-story modular aisle barns, these structures can accommodate multiple horses and provide ample room for storage and other necessities. Whatever style you choose, we can design and build the perfect aisle barn to suit your needs.
Monitor Barns
Spacious monitor barns are designed to protect horses and other types of livestock as well as provide space for supplies, equipment, and other items. We can help you create a monitor barn with custom aisle and stall sizes, tack rooms, washrooms, or open space that perfectly meets your needs.
Adding Finishing Touches
Want to add some elegance and flair to your horse shed? We can incorporate design features such as cupolas and weathervanes – all customizable to match your barn’s design.
