Stable Stall Guard

Custom made in Alberta

A horse stall guard is a barrier that goes across the opening of a horse's stall, typically used instead of closing the full stall door. It's usually made of heavy-duty canvas cordura fabric with clips or snaps on each end that attach to the stall doorframe.

Purpose:

• Allows airflow and ventilation into the stall while keeping the horse contained
• Lets the horse see out and interact with their surroundings, which reduces boredom and stress
• Makes it easier to check on horses without opening the full door
• Provides a more open, less confining feeling for horses who don't like being fully closed in

Common features:

• Adjustable length to fit different stall widths
• Durable materials that can withstand chewing and pawing
• Quick-release clips for easy removal
• Usually positioned at chest height for the horse

Stall guards are popular in barns where horses spend time in their stalls during the day but benefit from the social interaction and air circulation that an open top half provides. They're particularly useful in warmer weather or for horses who prefer a less enclosed environment.
