my self-made hay-feeder in the hut:

It's open at the bottom for easy cleaning, so there is no dust accumulating in the feeder, and the minis can also pull the hay from below

My "winter-huts", left side for the minis, right side for the maxis:



and my hut "just for minis", with low walls for the minis to look over



open on two sides for easy walk in and out, the two sides with wind & weather exposure have higher walls for better protection

We are in the process of building a barn for our mini that will be weaned in Sept and coming to us in October. I have been looking for ideas for my stalls, feeders and such.............hippocampe, I love your hay feeders and mini huts!!! Thanks for some great ideas!!!!

I have two shelters. One was constructed by my son for their mini donkey. When they moved away, I bought the shelter from him. My two horses have plenty of room inside for shelter. I love its design. The Casa la Nellie painted over the door is weathering away now.

This is my large shelter, 24 X 14. It is divided in two with gates, and cattle panel put across one half. A large gate closes off the other side. The gates' hinges are welded to the shelter. This gives me two seperate pens.

Both shelters are secured with mobile home anchors.

Here are pictures of my new stall/barn for my two rescued mini's. I dont have exact measurments, but will try to remember and bring tape measure with me for evening chores and edit them in. I used 100% recycled materials inside the already-there storage building. Shelving from my workplace constructed the walls, with torn down fencing for the pieces to hold it together. Pallets were used for the front section and gate. Hay manger (to be added with measurements) was made from a wire shelf display from work also.

I would love to see your shelters but they didn't come up. Can you download them again?

Do these work for you?

OK, I don't think they are, though I am unsure as to why. I went ahead and quickly added them to my personal webpage (that isnt really "done or public" yet LoL.). Here is the link to the Miniature horse page. Stall/Barn pics are below the horse pictures.

We just had a 4th stall built--you can barely see it on the way right of the pic XD

Here's Peanut, presenting our water tank and part of the barn and part of the shed behind it
