Document Summary
Lec 10 shelters if given the choice, horses will generally seek shelter if wind is greater than. 150sqft per mature adult horse may want to build a miny barn since building anyways. Convenient esp if don"t have another indoor area shade shelter often just a roof could get away w 10ft high. 50ft away from other buildings (same with any shelter. Minimum setback distance for any building on your property) could use shade cloth that will block uv rays but breeze can go through could use a tarp, much cheeper. Man-made: if fully solid will create wind swirls over if and have drifts and will have build up of snow behind it so not very useful. If have slats, wind goes through but slows it down and doesn"t cause as much snow buildup.
