The Modern Shelter

A movable shelter sounds like a good solution. We are increasingly focusing on the welfare of our animals—whether they are horses, cows, sheep, calves, goats, geese, or pigs. We want to make their environment as comfortable as possible. In this context, housing plays an important role.

Why a Shelter?

The summers are getting hotter, which can be very uncomfortable for our animals. When there are no trees for shade in the pasture, a shelter—also known as a “shelter stall”—can be an ideal solution. The shelter is freely accessible for your animals to seek out shade. The term “natural housing” is also becoming more common. Horses can easily stay outside all year round, but it’s still nice to provide them with a shaded area. During the autumn and winter months, it’s cold, windy, and rainy. Even then, it’s nice for your animals to have the choice to either take shelter in the barn or stay outside to eat and wander. The E35 Plus grass tiles are very suitable for laying in the shelter. They keep the horse’s feet dry at all times. The E35 plus Terra-Grids are made of plastic and can be used on nearly any surface. For more information, visit grastegels.eu

Every animal has its own preferences, and that’s what makes the placement of a pasture tent/shelter so great.

A horse alone in a stall and very restless? A mobile stall can also be a handy solution for a horse that is injured and requires box rest, or for a mare about to give birth. This way, you can place the mobile shelter close to the herd, allowing you to monitor the horse and restrict its movement.

A shelter therefore has many advantages: shade in the summer, protection in the winter, and a great way to place a horse on box rest while still keeping it near the herd. Every municipality has different regulations. It’s worth asking if you are allowed to set up a movable shelter. You’ll enjoy it a lot!
