What Is a Horse Stall Guard?
A horse stall guard is an alternative to heavy-duty metal stall gates. Stall guards for horses can be a temporary, more-affordable, or portable solution for keeping a horse safely in their stall when compared to metal gates or solid doors.
Unlike stall gates, stall guards tend to be made of durable fabric material and are affixed to the stable via heavy-duty hooks and hardware such as screw-eye hooks. They provide your horse with a great view of the stable while keeping them in place and providing airflow. Horse stall guards also generally feature soft materials and padding to protect your equine’s sensitive chest area. They can be folded up and taken to horse shows, allowing your horse to look out or keep them contained when you are going in-and-out of their stall throughout the day.
These types of containment stall guards come in different sizes, some are adjustable to fit various doorways, and there are even aisle guards for horses which are designed to fit all the way across large doorways such as the main entrances to barns or arenas. They’re also an easy way to partition off different sections of the stable or prevent horses from entering certain aisles or areas. Choose from slim guard chains or larger padded options to suit any doorway or aisle.
