Use four feet high panels with plastisol treated tin above the outside side, one block we has perforated tin which lets 90% of the light in but also rain when its windy, inner sides have bars above so they can see each other and the rest of the shed but cant bite each other or get at stuff stored in front, the front of the shed has Yorkshire boarding.

Used to have 30 here. Now down to 6. It's wonderful to have my farm back again!! My fields no longer look like a tank training ground with weeds sprouting everywhere The bitching was constant. When women fight with each other, it makes ruby look like tiddleywinks!! Make sure you have a contract and make sure you get paid in advance. Remember, they are not your friends and will winge and moan all over social media. Keep caravans......or dogs.....or cats.....anything but horses!!! Actually, that's probably not fair. The horses are fine, it's the owners that are trouble!!!

If you're building new stables, what spec does it need to be for buildings regs?

You must have an older shed you could convert?
You wouldn't build it for horses, as I doubt farmers can claim it is agricultural if they do?

No, I have an old barn where the historic stable block was taken down. I've he outside wall and footings. It's had a "modern" pole barn put over it, but I want that gone and the old building put back. 4, 16ft square stables.

Be aware of what you are getting into,
£ comes easy but drama is untold. Prime example, we have 1 cretin who insists her horse only likes the taste of square bales, not round! Another who demanded hundreds of metres of new stockproof fencing around her paddock as 'it doesn't cost very much'. Pillocks.
There's plenty of troublemakers and delusion / ignorance is astonishing. You'll also soon learn that 1 pillock renting a stable off you means they automatically become your superior (as stated, the delusions are unbelievable). Those types need pedalled ASAP for your own sanity.
Decide if you're happy with your fields being trashed with 24/7/365 turnout or if you'll limit grazing, and f you install an arena, spend the cash and drain to the max.
Definitely worth doing as long as you know what's coming.

Tight jodhpurs.....huge arses? The horsey folk I see often leave me thinking the horse would have less draught pulling a plough.
