I don't have this horse, but will by spring unless the owner decides to
sell
him sooner. In that case I'll board him until spring, when I can put up
fences and prepare a stall. He's a retired TB, 12 years old. He's quite
calm and settled, but I can't say that he'll never spook in his stall.
That's why I'm worried about the ceiling height.
The barn is very old (about 100 years) and very solid, framed with huge
old
timbers. I wouldn't be surprised if there actually were work horses
stabled
there long ago.
My backup plan is to build a three-sided run-in shed, but I'd rather use
the
barn if I can.
Thanks for your advice. Seems like we are the only two in the room!
