Yes, it is necessary to layout the exact building plan prior to constructing the barn or stable keeping in mind the comforts of both you and your horses.The things like width of the stable door, height of the ceilings, bedding storage area, wash stalls and so on. The ideal size for the stall door is 1 metre.

great tips i was wondering if you give me any web sites that are good in designing a broodmare ban. because i am in the begining stages of building a barn.

Scot's reply: If you're willing to do lots and lots of online searches, you can find what you want on the Web. For some purposes, though, books are still best. One of my all-time favorites is Cherry Hill's Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage (on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Horsekeeping-Small-Acreage-Designing-Facilities/dp/158017535X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b). Whether you have lots of land or little, her barn-design tips are brilliant. For more specific barn plans, have a look at Horse Housing (on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Horse-Housing-Build-Remodel-Barns/dp/1570762163). Good luck on building the barn! Let us know if you run into any questions along the way -- and make sure to send pictures when completed!
