The Equestrian 60’ Structure with Equine Package
A generous double breezeway runs the length of the Equestrian horse barn, flanked on both sides by stalls. Tack rooms, office space and wash stalls come standard down the center of the barn, but their exact placement is flexible. A full-length center loft provides storage, recreational or office space above, available as either a two-thirds or full loft. The Equestrian horse barn is a truly marvelous structure, available with 8 to 20 stalls.
Christel chose to move one set of breezeway doors to the side of the building for easy access to the covered riding arena next door. Because our buildings use posts to support the roof and not stud-walls, doors and windows can be placed in any location. She also worked with her builder to create a covered connection from the barn to the arena, Barn Pros supplied the additional material based on the builder’s specifications.
