These Horse Barn Components Can Make Your Barn Safer and More Efficient
When you’re running a large commercial barn, your facility needs to be not only efficient, but also safe and appealing to boarders. Certain investments in your horse barn can increase its efficiency, make maintaining the barn and caring for horses easier, and help set you apart from other barns in the area. These five practical solutions are an ideal choice for many large commercial barns.
Sliding Stall Fronts
Sliding Stall Fronts are a highly popular choice in large commercial barns because of their ease of use and the fact that they don’t take up extra room in your barn aisle. When you have horses coming and going, keeping the aisle clear is essential to saving time and enhancing safety, and sliding stall fronts help you to accomplish just that.
At American Stalls, we custom-build each stall front to meet your specifications, as well as your barn’s design needs. You can customize the doors with features like custom yokes, mesh, and grills for extra ventilation, as well as numerous finishes such as arches, finials, and nameplates for a truly one-of-a-kind look. The stall fronts are crafted from 100% American steel and domestic lumber, providing the superior durability required for use in commercial barns.
Portable Horse Stalls
Investing in Portable Horse Stalls for your commercial barn gives you increased flexibility and capacity. Whether you’re hosting a large show or clinic in the middle of the summer or need more stall space during the winter when your indoor arena attracts extra boarders, portable stalls give you the ability to quickly and easily house more horses.
Our portable stalls are designed to be strong and safe. They feature 14-gauge steel and include pre-drilled holes and connector pins for a fast and easy installation. With these portable horse stalls, you can enhance or expand your commercial barn as needed, providing solutions to boarders and maximizing your income.
Interlocking Horse Stall Mats
Safe footing is essential in your large commercial barn, and it contributes to the safety of horses, staff, and boarders. Interlocking Horse Stall Mats are a highly versatile solution that you can use not only in horse stalls, but also in your barn aisle, grooming stalls, and other areas.
Our interlocking horse stall mats are crafted from a heavy, premium rubber for durability you can rely on. The flat surface maximizes traction, while the flat bottom helps minimize any urine accumulation in stalls. The stall mats remain slip-resistant, even when wet, and provide excellent shock absorption, thereby contributing to the safety of both horse and handler. The mats are an excellent way to protect horses from a cold, hard concrete subfloor, plus they help prevent horses from digging or pawing down into a dirt stall subfloor.
Investing in interlocking stall mats can also make the task of cleaning stalls faster and easier for staff. The mats provide a flat surface that’s easy to clean, plus they keep bedding from getting mixed into a dirt subfloor, minimizing bedding waste and saving you money. 
We offer stall mats in various sizes and thicknesses, so they can fit any stall dimensions. You can also easily cut them to fit around stall corners and obstacles. Since our mats are backed by a seven-year warranty, you can buy them with confidence.
Stall Fans
If you live in an area that experiences hotter weather in the summer, Stall Fans are a must-have for keeping horses comfortable, and many boarders will expect a top commercial barn to have them. Fans increase ventilation to keep your barn cooler and safer for horses. Plus, that increased ventilation may help reduce the chance of respiratory issues, which is essential if you’re boarding and training performance horses.
Our premium stall fans feature enclosed motors for enhanced fire safety, and their durable construction ensures they are long-lasting additions to your barn. We offer fans ranging in sizes from 12 inches to 36 inches, so they’re perfect for use in individual stalls or in your barn aisle. These fans are powerful yet quiet, making them ideal for improving air quality in your barn and keeping horses cool when temperatures rise.
Mud Control Grids
When your turnouts receive significant use, mud often becomes inevitable in high-traffic areas, such as the spaces around gates or in front of run-in sheds. Mud isn’t only unsightly, but can also lead to potential injuries, resulting in downtime and frustrated boarders. Plus, slogging through mud during turn-in and turn-out is difficult and time-consuming for staff.
Mud Control Grids provide a practical solution for chronically muddy areas. These grids interlock together, creating a surface that keeps horses and handlers above the mud. The perforations let water flow through the grids, reducing standing water and mud buildup. Plus, the surface features an anti-slip design to keep horses and handlers safe, even in wet conditions.
These grids are highly durable and won’t rot over time. They’re UV-resistant and withstand cold temperatures, so they’re suitable for use in any climate. The grids are very easy to install and require minimal site preparation. They connect securely to prevent shifting while in use. In addition to installing them in pastures, you may also consider using them in wash bays and other areas prone to mud.
