Modular Horse Barns and Horses in Virginia

Horse ownership in Virginia has changed
dramatically over the years, thanks in large
part to the quantum shift from horse racing (and
breeding) to pleasure and trail riding. And with
the majority of expenses related to horse
ownership involving feeding, bedding, boarding
and improvements, horse barns and run in sheds
become paramount to an efficient operation,
whether you have horses, donkeys or ponies.
Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses are still among
Virginia's two most popular horse breeds (with
Tennessee Walkers and Arabians rounding out the
top four) of course,so choosing the right horse
barn for your own "equine industry" is
essential, both with regard to the type of horse
barn you require as well as the ability to create
and adapt your barns and stables accordingly.

Because there are a variety of reasons behind
why you have horses in the first place, it's
important to consider your objectives when
selecting a boarding facility. If you have a big
horse operation, your needs are different from
someone who has horses they keep as pets, and if
you are involved in competitive horse events like
dressage, or hunters and jumpers, you may need
something entirely different from the kids at 4H
who are going for confirmation and disposition.
Modular storage barns offer a wide range of
options, allowing you to customize your
operation according to how many horses, you
have, how involved you are in the competitive
horse industry, the size of your property,
whether you need additional space for tack,
where to store feed, and how frequently or
infrequently you engage in recreational riding.
Additionally, you need to consider how your own
horse operation impacts the environment, and how
to incorporate the best management practices to
ensure that both your horses and your community
benefit from one another.

Selecting the right location for your barn is
the number one priority of course, and with such
varied terrain in Virginia, that task alone can
be daunting. You need easy access to the road
and a connection to utilities, plus you also
need a site that drains well in wet weather and
which doesn't act as a wind tunnel during
storms. Be aware that you need your manure barn
downwind of the house, and your barn's delivery
area where it's less visible to passersby. If
you need to incorporate parking at your
facility, you don't want it to interfere with
horse traffic. Other considerations include
where feed and water are in relation to the
horses themselves, how wide the aisles are, air
flow in each stall, as well as lighting,
flooring and overall security. Modular horse
barns help solve most of these problems because
of how easy they are to customize according to
your needs, and the needs of your horses, to
create a boarding facility you are both
comfortable with!

With horse ownership exploding in Virginia,
boarding solutions, particularly versatile and
affordable boarding solutions, are paramount to
a safe, healthy relationship for both you and
your equine empire. And modular horse barns and
run in sheds may be just the place to start.
