Design & Construction of Horse Facilities
Posted: July 3, 2012
Visit this new PSU site to see the research-based information for planning and construction of well-designed equestrian facilities (barns and riding arenas). Topics include:
- ventilation
- manure management
- fire protection systems
- stall dimensions
- flooring materials for stalls and barn aisles
- drainage
- fence planning
- riding arena footing materials
This is great information for horse
owners who are planning barn construction or redesign of agriculture buildings.
An emphasis is put on providing good air quality in the indoor environment,
good stewardship of the outdoor environment, and layout for management
efficiency. Materials available from
this site:
