Horse shelter made from dog kennel....

Question

Okay, can you make a horse shelter from a dog kennel?

It isn't meant to be a shelter to protect from cold and stuff because we don't have to worry about that in the climate we are in.

It is meant more as a means of keeping rain out. Like could you use a dog kennel and then get something to cover it with?

Would a horse go through the doorway (it will fit physically but would it be willing to?)

Answer 1

You can depending on the size of the horse. You can use a tarp over it temporarily.

The bad thing about it, is that if the horse is inside and rolls or paws at the sides of the kennel, it might get a hoof caught through it.

You can build a 3 sided shelter for not much. All you would need is 4 large post for the corners, some 2" x4", and some sheet metal. You can look up building plans on line.
