This weekly series talks about the details that matter when building or renovating a barn or equestrian facility. It’s a known fact that horses know a million ways to hurt themselves, and our best defense is to share our knowledge on how to keep our friends safe. Our colleague, noted equine facilities designer Holly Matt of Pegasus Design Group, has generously agreed to write this weekly column. Have tips you’d like to share? Send them to [email protected].

This Lotus™ pasture shelter acts like a natural tree, except without dripping branches! Horses can position themselves away from prevailing wind-driven water, and stand in the shade as it moves around the center post. This means, like trees, you don’t get a single torn-up area of grass, the traffic is spread out to save your turf. Brilliant idea.
And who wouldn’t love the Oval Walker?
