Georgia Horses And Georgia Horse Barns: What Could Be Easier?

When you think of horses, you don't necessarily
think of Georgia as having much of a horse
economy, but in the past few years, Georgia has
seen revenue from the horse industry add $300
million in general funds to state coffers, and
over $750 million dollars in breeding related
costs alone. As a matter of fact, there are more
than 230,000 horses in Georgia, and with such
popular breeds as the Quarter Horse, Paint,
Appaloosa, and American Saddlebred, Georgia is
the perfect place to start your own equine
empire, or add to the one you already have.

One of the most appealing aspects of horse
ownership in Georgia is just how practical the
choice of horses is. While American Saddlebreds
are becoming more popular for dressage
competitions, and the Georgia International
Horse Park (which was built in 1996 as the
equestrian venue for the Summer Olympics)
features state of the art facilities for
equestrian events and competitions with high
profile breeds like the Tennessee Walking Horse,
by and large, Georgia horse owners seem drawn to
horses for less showy purposes and more for
their recreational value.

You may also not think of modular barn delivery
as an option in the land of stick built homes
and businesses, but modular horse barns provide
an array of options that allow horse owners to
match their needs while also being careful to
meet all Georgia building and zoning code
requirements in the process. Most areas require
a building permit to build a horse barn, but
actual regulations vary considerably. Check with
your local planning or zoning department to make
sure you have the proper permits, then select a
barn style that takes into account how many
horses you have, if you plan to expand, and the
one thing most horse owners tend to overlook;
the importance of sufficient space to move your
horses easily throughout the barn, to store feed
and supplies, and to make cleaning stalls and
aisles easier. One of the most common barn
styles has a center aisle with a single row of
stalls on both walls, but the double-row barns,
with two rows of stalls back-to-back in the
center, is more suitable for warmer climates. In
addition, adequate drainage is important is
important especially in Georgia where weather
patterns can be wildly unpredictable.

One of the advantages of having your barn
delivered to your property, especially in
Georgia, is cost. Do-it-yourself kits fail to
include things like the additional cost of a
concrete foundation, nails, roofing, shipping,
or the labor (and time it takes) to build the
barn in the first place. Modular barns help
solve most of those issues because the work is
already done, and most barns can be delivered
free of charge within a 200 mile radius. So if
you chose a horse breed because its easy to take
care of and practical for your family's needs,
then why not chose a delivered horse barn that
is suited to your horses and your budget, that
makes having a low maintenance horse, low
maintenance to house as well?
