Location: IL		How do you have your dry lots set up? Do all your dry lots have a shelter in them?

We are putting up a small barn (2 stalls & small aisle). We are going to fence in two small dry lots to turn my mares out in and they will be located across from the barn, not next to it. We are on a very limited budget, and cannot afford to build lean to's in each turnout. I may be getting an outside job (I currently work from home) and my concern is them being turned out while I'm at work and not having any sort of shelter from weather.  We live with nothing but flat farmland around us and don't have any trees to use as shelter. 

Any suggestions?

Location: Central Texas		My horses are dry lotted. Each one has some type of shelter to get in/under. My property has no trees or wind blocks and it drives me crazy to see horses without some type of shelter from the blazing Texas sun or the north winter wind. Just a peeve of mine and to each their own. I know some who do not have shelters and their horses seem to do just fine.

edited: I could be wrong but in Texas I think you have to provide some type of shelter, whether man made or natural (ie trees)

Location: MD		Is there any way you could make the barn so that the horses could have run in stalls? That way your horses will have shelter/field/barn all in one.
