Hoping to get some ideas from you all. I have a walker and panels I have enough panels to go around the inside of the circle and the outside of the circle. What can I hang besides mats or panel to make the horse move forward without putting too much work on the hubby. I need as easy as possible and there may be no way besides mats or panels. I need something light and cheap and easy. thanks if have pics please post

What about using chain link fence gates? The type that you use in a chain-link fenced yard? Seems like they would be light, but of course getting them the right length might be a problem. I've only seen them about 4 feet high or so. Of course, you wouldn't want them to extend the full length but you don't want horses running under them, either. Don't know how expensive they are, either. Just a thought.

I know someone who has this exact setup. Cheap yard gates and it works just fine.
When we finish our barn, that's my next thing on hubby's honey-do LOL - find a used walker and modify it!
