Handsome,
beautifully designed custom professional show horse barn features
6 - 12x12ft. matted stalls over a rolled clay base, tongue and groove
pine walls with oak sliding stall doors throughout.  All
corner surfaces are steel covered to prevent splintering, chewing,
and cribbing. The tack room features built-in shelves, large sink,
glassed medicine cabinets, trophy display shelf, and congoleum wood
patterned floor. The feed room includes congoleum floor, shelving,
and tin-lined feed bins. The spacious lofts (due to 12/12 pitch of
the barn roof to match the main house) are connected by a catwalk
with railing between the two fully floored areas that have caged lights.
There are large beautiful safety glass palladium windows at both ends
of the barn. The main water spigot is recessed from the central aisle
way for safety and is non-freezing in the winter. The wash stall floor
is rough concrete with a central drain, including cross-tie rings
and hot/cold water. Stall bars, stall doors, full stall screens with
sliding doors to the outside, along with two sets of gorgeous large
steel/glass tracked end barn doors were manufactured by Lucas Equine.
Lovely olde world style pavers for the center aisle way. This charming
stable is truly 'horse ready'. |
