Things you need to install in a hay shed

In case you are planning to renovate or build a new hay shed for your horse, some of the things that you must need to do are mentioned in this article. As it can be a tiring and time-consuming task, so getting some of the tips will be helpful. Read it and let us know did you find it helpful or not. 

Put rubber floor mats in the horse stalls: 

installing floor mats in your horse slows down their speed so that it is easier for them or the rider to control the balance once they are inside the den. Another main reason for using rubber floor mats is that they are very easier to clean as compared to bare ground. So they will help in maintaining the cleanliness of your horse den. 

Introduce interlocking rubber pavers at the door: 

As floor mats help your horse in smoothly walking, similarly interlocking pavers will also help them in maintaining balance. Furthermore, the interlocking pavers at the hay shed will make the horse feel more secure while they are tied or closed inside their dens. It will keep them at a proper place and will minimize their movement. As too much movement might result in an injury and trust me you wouldn’t want your horse to go through that. 

Automatic waterer and feeding systems: 

You may think that you don’t want the extra expenses of introducing an automatic watering and feeding system in your horse’s den but you are wrong. There will be a lot of times when you will need an automatic feeder to feed your horse. For example, think about a situation where you have to go away for a few days and you can’t find someone to look after your horse, now what would you do? How are you going to feed them? 

These are the questions that will arrive in your mind and will leave you in great confusion in case you don’t have an automatic feeding system installed inside the hay shed. We recommend this to everyone because honestly, we don’t want any horse lover to go through this struggle and confusion phase. An automatic feeder will guarantee that your horse has enough food and water even if you are away for a few days. So you don’t have to sacrifice your plans just for feeding your horses.
