EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES

Any horse owner would agree that caring for horses is more than a hobby–it’s a lifestyle! That’s why having a well-designed stable equipped with everything your horses need to stay healthy and protected while you’re away is essential. At DC Builders, we’re known for designing some of the safest equestrian facilities in the nation. With over fifteen years of experience in the design and construction of horse barns, we know a thing or two about crafting high-end equestrian facilities and can easily design a one-of-a-kind horse barn for you. From the location of your tack room to the stall fronts included in your horse barn, we take every detail of your design into consideration to ensure your completed build is exactly as you imagined. No matter the task at hand, we’re committed to designing a beautiful horse barn that makes caring for your horses as easy and enjoyable as possible.

DESIGN YOUR DREAM HORSE BARN

When it comes to crafting horse barns for clients, one size definitely does not fit all. Depending on your location, the number of horses you plan to stable, and the function of your horse barn, it’s likely you’ll need an equestrian facility designed specifically around your needs. This is where we come in! With the help of your project coordinator and our expert designers, you have the ability to transform your ideas into a unique horse barn that perfectly suits your lifestyle and embodies your vision. Additionally, we work with America’s best suppliers of windows, doors, and equestrian hardware to provide you with the highest quality building materials available, so you can design an equestrian facility that is both horse-safe and tailored to your personality and style.

CREATING A COMFORTABLE STABLE FOR YOUR HORSES

Many horses dislike being stabled, which makes the task of creating a pleasant stable design one of the most important parts of our process. When designing stables for our clients, we review every detail to ensure your horse is as comfortable as possible, including stall and alleyway dimensions and ceiling height. The size of your horse and number of horses you plan to stable helps us determine how large each stall should be to maximize comfort. Other aspects to consider are the flooring, equipment, and lighting in your space. By installing the right flooring and feeding and watering equipment in each stall, we can ensure your horses are cared for at all times and you never have to worry about their safety. Additionally, since ventilation and natural lighting are a major part of keeping your horses happy while inside, we make it a point to incorporate as many windows in your design as possible and in areas that aren’t susceptible to accidental damage. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO HORSE SAFETY

Any horse enthusiast knows horses can be clumsy. Sometimes they can misjudge a step or a surface change, causing them to stumble before catching themselves. However, harmless stumbles from time to time can be dangerous if your horse barn isn’t equipped with the proper safety equipment to handle infrequent falls. To ensure your horses are as safe as possible, our equestrian facilities are equipped with a number of safety features designed to keep them from harming themselves, including horse-safe, concealed knife plates on heavy timber connections and chew protection on exposed surfaces. This ensures that any falls or acts of boredom don’t result in a trip to the vet and gives you the peace of mind to know your horses are protected in any event.
