Focused Radiant Warmth for the Barn Workspace Below
Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Heater HS-1215 directs downgoing infrared heat toward wash racks, groom stalls, tack areas, and horse stalls.
The Problem
When a Drafty Wash Rack Makes Routine Horse Care Harder
It’s 6:15 on a January morning, and you’re standing in the wash rack with a damp horse, cold hands, and a grooming schedule that cannot wait for better weather. Water has darkened your horse’s coat along the barrel and legs, the barn air feels raw, and every draft seems to find the space between your gloves and jacket. You still need to towel, groom, and get your horse comfortable before turning to the rest of the morning’s chores.
Every horse owner who works through a real winter knows how quickly cold conditions complicate routine care. A wash rack that works beautifully in July can become an uncomfortable place for both you and your horse once the temperature drops. Even dry jobs such as clipping, braiding, wrapping, or cleaning tack become harder when your fingers are stiff and your horse is shifting, tightening through the topline, or simply ready to leave the area.
The cost is measured in more than discomfort. You may delay a necessary rinse, spend extra time toweling, rearrange your barn schedule around the warmest part of the day, or move grooming supplies from one improvised workspace to another. Portable floor heaters can occupy valuable space where lead ropes, hoses, buckets, and moving hooves already demand your attention. Heating all the air in a drafty barn or high-ceilinged aisle may also be an impractical way to make one working area more comfortable.
What you need is not necessarily whole-barn heat. You need focused warmth where the work actually happens—over the wash rack, groom stall, tack area, or another defined space—without adding an open flame or another piece of equipment underfoot.

Why It Keeps Happening
Floor Heaters Add Clutter Where Hooves, Hoses, and Buckets Need Room
The problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your horse. The real challenge is trying to warm a specific barn workspace with equipment designed to heat an entire room—or with portable units that were never chosen around hoses, lead ropes, limited floor space, and the way your horse moves.
Convection-style heaters warm surrounding air, but barn air rarely stays put. High ceilings, opening doors, uninsulated walls, and constant drafts can carry that warmth away from the exact place you need it. A small floor unit may feel warm when you stand directly beside it, yet it can add another cord, obstacle, and hot appliance to an already busy grooming or wash area. Moving it every time you sweep, rinse, or reposition your horse turns a simple chore into another piece of barn management.
Then the compromises begin. You rush through grooming because your hands are cold. You keep towels, coolers, and supplies in multiple locations so you can change plans with the weather. Your horse stands damp longer while you work around chilly conditions, or you postpone a rinse that would have been routine in a more comfortable space. The minutes add up across every muddy leg, winter clip, tack-cleaning session, and early show-morning preparation.
Generic heat is not always useful heat. If the warmth rises away, blows around the aisle, or requires equipment on the floor, you are still managing the same cold workspace. You need a heating approach suited to the defined area below it—one that keeps the work zone open and directs radiant energy toward people, animals, and objects rather than depending on warming every draft of barn air first.

- ✗Cold, drafty wash racks can make grooming and rinsing less comfortable.
- ✗Heating the surrounding barn air may not focus warmth where chores happen.
- ✗Freestanding equipment can occupy valuable space around horses and supplies.
- ✗Open flames are not part of this heater’s electric radiant design.
The Solution
Move the Heat Overhead and Direct It Toward the Work Zone
The Kalglo® Electric Radiant Infrared Heater HS-1215 is designed to provide focused warmth from above. Its downgoing infrared rays warm people, animals, and objects within the heat pattern rather than relying on heated air to remain inside a drafty space. That makes the heater well suited to defined working areas such as wash stalls, groom stalls, tack areas, and horse stalls. Suspended overhead, it also leaves the floor open for your horse, hoses, buckets, grooming totes, and the normal movement of barn chores.
The HS-1215 operates at 120 volts, 1,500 watts, and 12.5 amps. Its 65-inch body uses durable metal-sheath heating elements instead of glass tubes or lamps, and the design has no open flame and emits no ultraviolet light. The aluminum housing has a beige baked or powder-coated finish. A seven-foot cord and plug, installation hardware, and enough hanging chain for a 6½-foot drop are included, so the heater arrives with the core components needed for an overhead installation.
Once energized, the HS model operates at full output; it does not include an onboard switch or heat control. You can turn it on and off through the receptacle switch, circuit breaker, or a compatible thermostat, and optional wall-mounted regulators or electronic controls can provide additional regulation. This straightforward setup lets you plan control around the barn and mounting location instead of reaching above your horse whenever you want warmth. Installation must follow the manufacturer’s clearance, grounding, and mounting instructions.
For your horse, the result is a work area where warmth is directed down toward the space being used. For you, it means no freestanding heater taking up room underfoot and no fuel line or open flame in the heating design. Whether you are grooming before sunrise, working through a winter rinse, or cleaning tack after evening chores, the HS-1215 puts radiant warmth where the job is happening. It is a practical, horse-first heating option from Schneiders—Trusted since 1948.
