Portable Stables for Sale - Why This Should Interest Horse Owners

If you have a horse, it’s only basic practice that you have somewhere for it to sleep at night and shelter in during the wet or stormy weather. In fact, it’s required by law, and failure to stable your horses could result in them being taken into the custody of the RSPCA. This can be a problem if you did have a stable or some other form of shelter, but it’s collapsed or has been rendered uninhabitable. Stables are expensive and time consuming to build, during which time your horse may have to be stabled elsewhere while the shelter is rebuilt. Fortunately, there are often a large number of portable stables for sale throughout the country.

What are portable stables? The answer is in the name, silly. A portable stable is basically a temporary structure that can allow you to shelter your horse for a short time period, often when travelling or if a horse needs to be moved briefly to a new field, say because of flooding in the usual paddock.

Portable stables for sale should be of interest to you, because they allow you a quick and easy solution for shelter regarding your horses that are not always available. After all, sometimes you may not even have planning permission to construct a more permanent shelter in a certain field, so if a horse does need to be moved into it during an emergency you may have to wait for as long as several months before permission pushes through the right channels. During that time, your horse is dangerously exposed to the weather and other dangers. This in turn makes the horse unhappy, unhealthy and somewhat illegal.

Many portable stables are built from cheap, light-weight materials that are never the less durable. They have to be, after all, if they’re to contain horses. Their light frame means that transporting them is an easy matter of placing them onto a suitable frame for movement and then attaching that to a car. Perhaps not coincidentally this also makes it useful for providing shelter for your horses if ever they are to be taken long-distances, especially if renting a stable is difficult or expensive.
