Location: SW North Dakota | I have 4 stall fronts that the horses can look over like that and 2 that are complete "cages." My horses are so much happier when they can hang their heads into the alleyway. The "tame" horse get that privledge and the naughty ones go in the cages until I'm sure they won't try to jump out. My doors are about 4' high in the ones they can look over. |

I love your stalls! (have you noticed me FB stalking you? lol!) Do you have trouble with wood chewing? Did you use plans or just make them up as you went? |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | Don't and WOULDN'T have them. I HATE stall fronts where you can't LOCK THEM IN. Nothing worse than having a horse that likes to try to grab other horses (or worse yet PEOPLE) that are being led past their stall and you can't close the front! Besides having horses (especially youngsters) that want to try to jump out. |

Location: South Georgia | I'm not a fan of stalls where horses hang their heads out. These are pretty, but I still am not a fan of it. I have had two barns where the stall doors were low and it was a pain keeping halters and leadropes hung far enough out of reach. In addition, if someone acts spunky, they ram into the short door, whereas in a normal stall, they physically cant. Also, I am a stickler for a clean aisle, and in short stalls, they can hang over the door and drop feed and hay onto the aisle. |

Location: Missouri | I know not everyone is going to love them. But, I do not want cages in my barn. I want it as open as possible.
I have also thought about doing something with horizontal bars like this, but with a yoke in the door:

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I love mine being able to hang their heads out. My aisle is wide enough it's not an issue if one is prone to bite. None of mine are.

I would add in a tie ring so in case you have a mouthy horse you can walk horses in and out and tie him back if necessary. Our aisles are wide enough they'd really have to come out of there to bite but if we know someone is sassy we just tie back in advance.

We have something similar to these, some horses have a full door, enough to slide a feed pan underneath the door, and some have them to where an avg sized aussie can walk underneath. I see them resting their heads on the doors regularly watching the barn activity. They also love to use those side slopes to itch their tough to reach face spots, I would much rather see that then on their buckets dumping water everywhere. |
